Misfiring- why me?

Apr 23, 2005 1 Replies

My 69 beetle has a 1641cc engine in it, thats only covered 10000 miles in the 2 years ive had it. In the past 3-4 weeks, after i got it out the garage its been running really lumpy, especially whn accelartaing hard. At around



50 in third if i push it its misfiring like a b****. Any ideas- someone suggested timing- but surely that cant get that bad that quickly can it?

Weak spark will show up under load. Or plug wires or cap which break down. You've already replaced the plugs?

How about bad gas? Could the stuff in there be old?
