thanks Jim I was asking because my grandpa bought it in 61 brand new only half the engine was rebuilt it acts like it has little to no power. my dad said that him and my grandpa used to set the gap using a dime. it has good fuel would spark issues cause it to do this my dad has said it has done this for several years. also it consumes large amounts of fuel what would cause these issues. thanks

Given that behavior and history, I'd give it an ignition tune-up, check the valve adjustment, and run a compression test. See how it acts after that.
