        tuneup (plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter), make sure that your timing is set correctly, make sure that the carb is jetted properly, KEER YER DAMN FOOT OUT OF THE GAS

        The last one is the most important tip.

          There is no reason to convert to FI, just make sure that the carb is jetted/tuned properly

              There should be a sticket under the hood that says what the base timing should be. Otherwise I believe it is 6 degrees BTDC.

                      Check your plugs and make sure they still look good
