Need some help on what to do next. Left my ride sitting while I went away for a couple of weeks. When I returned battery was low so I recharged it and it checks out. I can start the engine and it idles, but when I try to accelerate it loads up and dies. Things I have done. Pulled carburetor, Carter ASB, checked it out it is clean, and pump is in good shape. Checked fuel pump and it is working to specs, next replaced points, rotor and dizzy cap, still no change. Pulled plugs (less than 500 miles on them) R44xls, checked gaps, replaced plug wires. Checked dwell and it is between 26 and 30 degrees, timing is at 8 before. Damn thing still loads up and dies. Anybody got any ideas?
