well gave it one more chance to start...had my better half spray starting fluid while cranking and it started with no problem!?!? continued to idle fine without choke so I decided to take it for a drive. Drove about 15 miles and along the way shut it down, went in to the hardware store, started back up no problem and drove home...WTF?

I forgot to mention that a couple of weeks ago while I was driving in town about 45mph, the engine stopped running...I pulled over and it started right back up and then no problem until today.

I have also recently put a new fuel pump on along with new lines and filter. Think that might be what's up? Is the pertronix heading south?
