Last night I was driving the 58 Champion (Champion 6) I just sold getting it ready for delivery. After 60 miles of perfect driving, it started missing and eventualy died. It started right up, ran rough, but after high idling it for a few seconds, it ran fine for another 10 miles and repeated the cycle. Pulling off the rural road, I pulled the sediment bowl and cleaned it, fairly clean with a few small metal particles in it and then cleaned the carburetor screen which appeared pristine. I then proceeded to clean the dist cap inside and out as I had earlier spilled oil on it. After all this it would start but only stay running by manipulating the gas pedal, at intervals it would run smooth as silk for 30 seconds then go to missing and semi-backfiring, had to haul it home on a trailer. The Carb must be getting plenty of fuel as it would tend to flood. Any ideas and input would be greatly appreciated as tomorrow is the only good day to work on it this week as we await a big cold front here in N Texas. Thanks
