Wilber, I don't have any evidence of it, but I really think that the carb rebuild did the trick. The points/condenser were not in that bad of shape to begin with, but because of the ease and low dollar value, I went ahead and replaced them to eliminate the possibility.
I didn't change the battery and coil, so I think they can safely be eliminated as a possible cause. Otherwise, I'd still have the problem!
In the carb, I replaced parts (accelerator pump included) and adjusted the float to specification. I'm not sure if the replaced parts actually needed replacement, but I'm certain the float level needed adjustment. Whether replacement parts or float adjustment that fixed the problem is anyone's guess.
For my money, time, and effort, if I ever have this problem again, I'll concentrate on the carb first. Good luck on getting yours back to normal operation.
Bill
