How about something as simple as a broken/cracked distributor cap or a bad/worn rotor. My old motor did the same thing a couple of days before it actually quit. Fix, new cap and rotor. See if you have any "black" spots on the inside of the cap and look for wear marks on the rotor. You may get lucky and find it's a quick and relatively inexpensive fix.

Good luck,

Randy

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficently talented fool!
