It died once today while I was running around town and started back up but
then about an hour later it started acting sluggish like it wasn't getting
enough fuel.  I'm going to pull the filter and check it, the gas tanks sat
mostly empty for the better part of five years so all the new gas has 
probably cleaned all the gunk out and is plugging the filer.  Also it ran
on leaded then but is now on unleaded.
