I'd pull over, make adjustments to the timing and regulator and do more pulls until it stopped pickin up power. lol

Most of these young kids now don't know how to do squat to their own cars anymore that doesn't involve plastidip or switching a plastic bodypiece. lol.
I'd like to learn how. My dad misses those days. We have tried multiple times to pick up a small project car, but with the distance between both of us right now, working on it alone for him wouldn't be as fun. He'd still enjoy it, but he knows I'd like to learn what he knew.

He could change the clutch in his old '69 Apache Chevy in about 45 mins while parked over a ditch. Haha
