need help anyone in georgia email me im going nuts with this thanks

did you do your own tune-ups?for me the dwell in the points was a pain and upgrading i went to a petronix.It was a big help.has this problem just happened? if it did and you think its the carb.hell yeah pull the carb off and give it a good soak in carb cleaner,not to0 long,and air hose the passages.one of my bugs has a 1600 single port,30/31 pict,runs grand but slow
