After an engine rebuild my 500L lived for about an hour. First problem arose when she failed to do above 50 mph, when 55-60 mph was achievable before. Then, a sudden loss of power and an inability to do above 35mph. Now, she refuses to start. She'll crank, and, if I apply the throttle, she'll sputter as though she's about to start. However, no amount of time of this sputtering will lead to life. Good spark, proper timing, good compression, and extra fuel being delivered to the engine, but no dice. Carb is being stripped ATM, though it was just purchased from Pierce Manifolds to replace the old one during the rebuild.
Any thoughts on the matter? This one is a real head scratcher! I'd love any suggestions, as this sweet little car has been off the road for far too long!
