My first thought : Old Gas
How long since the fuel has been refreshed. Even 4-6 Month old fuel just dosent have the bang a good fresh tank would have. I always have to run my parker car straight to the pump to get fresh fuel.
Start there if you haven't

I finally got to get my classic out for the summer and of course there's a new issue. Whenever I put it into drive or reverse, it runs super rough and eventually dies. I can pull the choke and raise the RPM's or throw it into neutral and have it idle when I am at a stoplight, but i would like a more permanent fix. I tried to raise the slow RPM to fix the problem, but it still died when I put it in gear. Vacuum lines are all good, unless I missed one... I was told oil is important, but it was changed before it was put away for the winter. I do use 20w-50 because getting 10w-40 here is near impossible on conventional oil. If you think of anything please let me know!!
