I believe that year had the vacuum cut-out switch which will ground the points if the motor goes into hi-revs. I’m not sure what RPM/vacuum it is calibrated for, but that could be your culprit. If the engine dies suddenly rather than throttles down due to fuel starvation, then it’s worth looking int.
you ll see at 44 seconds and 2:44 how the motor dies. I keep it running by backing off the throttle.
I postedthis vid in a new topic, same name "part 2" thanks

Yeah that sounds just like you went down to a 20hp motor…! Motor didn’t quit, but you can hear it running on one cylinder. Check the condensers…mentioned that in my earlier post but it seems very much like an ignition issue.
