I have an old 1959 560 that is tired, but ran well. While digging dirt with it, I managed to roll it over 3 times down the slope I was on, landing upright but with one wheel just off the ground about 3 inches. She continued to run at low throttle for over an hour after the accident until it coughed and died..out of gas. When paramedics arrived about 30 minute after that, one of them ensured the ignition was shut off before I was hauled away. (they are all volunteer farmer folks here).
After I spent a couple months of healing, I finally tried to get it started and fixed. I noticed nothing seriously broken..Seat, steering wheel and a bracket that the steering column mounts to.
I put gas in it but it refused to start. It was getting gas and spark. I pulled the plugs and cleaned and regapped. they were a bit black, but not fouled. I resorted to a few shots of ether before she stumbled to life. She idles fine now, but is lacking power and coughs hard on acceleration now. I have tried readjusting the Carb and timing. They are where they should be, ,but no change. Any suggestions??
