Thanks guys! The gas tank is new(er), and the was just filled up the other day. It's got a Rochester carb on it, which is new or rebuilt by the PO. I repaired the wire that had the plug fitting connection come off, but then found that the end that went into the dist. cap had come off, and the prongs were broken off in the boot, so I'm picking up a new set of cables at NAPA today. This engine was rebuilt about 8k ago, but I did notice that the carb gaskets are leaking at the mid gasket, so that's something I'll work on this fall. I'm going to re-hook the coil wire and put on the new cables later today, and I'll let you know what happens. Oh, yeah, and I'm going to put the new fuel filter before the pump (which is also relatively new), and check the metal filter at the carb, too. Thanks for all the replies!!
