Went out to start the 'vert and take it for its monthly decent weather drive. Started great after about 5 seconds of cranking. Starter sounded normal, fired right up, idled well as the engine was warmed up. Backed out of the driveway and drove 50 feet when she started missing a bit. Feathered the gas to smooth her out and only got worse, until it died. Started right up but missing bad and then died. Tried to restart but wouldn't turn over - just a single click. Pushed her back home into the driveway and still won't turn over. 12.82 volts at the battery and positive terminal on the solenoid. No strange sounds noted while she was running.
I replaced everything during the rebuild, except the starter and starter solenoid. There's plenty of gas in the clear fuel filter and to the carb, so I'm 92.4% sure it's electrical. Which road should I head down first?
