Hello, All. Just bought a 1952 MC which we drove on and off the trailer, and puttered with a bit, but now I can't keep it running. Get a few pops, from two to about 6, and then it quits. Comfortable around engines of all sorts, but new to these (love em). I can't tell if I have a spark issue, or the...
