Alright, I took Ole B out for a cruise Saturday afternoon since it has been sitting for a while with all the rain and nasty weather the past month or so. The last time I drove it was in early January (I have been starting and running it every two weeks).

Like I said nice day took in on a spin, after about 4 or 5 miles while I was at a stop sign, as I pulled off I felt a good jolt then it just shut off on me (if it was a newbee I would think it was the timing belt). I got it over the side of the road, but could not find anything wrong. Full tank of gas, gas getting to the carb, good battery, crankshaft is turning, all indication is that it should start. The motor turns over (good strong revolutions) with good indications but it won't start. Seems like it's not getting any spark.

Putting it out for an analysis maybe someone has experienced the same thing.
