Is it a carbed model? Which year? miles? Did you fill up with gas at the end of the first day(water in gas?) Dirt in carbs or water in gas would be my first guess.Then electical,loose plug wire,fouled plug,ect. JS

1997 with 16000 miles. It's been sitting outside for four days with temperatures going from freezing at night, to almost 60 in the day with a quarter of a tank. A good friend of mine also said water in the gas tank too. I think I will try that first.
Thanks for your help!

Hey where in Florida are you????

Yo Bro! Like your Bro said... a little condensation in the tank can foul up the spark big. Try the drygas additive to rid the condensation woes. Even if you turn the tank upside down you'll have some water in the corners of the tank that won't come out unless you rince the empty tank with a bottle of the drygas stuff... hey, what about that? Best 'o luck!

Try keeping the tank full in the winter. Less air = less condensation.
