I had been putting gas into my tank with gas cans about 1.5 months ago and I used some gas one day from a non diesel semi (everyone asks if it was diesel) that 2 miles down road caused engine to have one large back fire and 3 or 4 non gunshot volume backfires. I realized my spark plugs were and thought id replace those first. it ran great and I thought i had solved the issue but about 1.5 weeks later it had the same issue again and was getting worse. couldnt hardly get 1000 feet without major bogging/jerking like hydraulics on a low rider and always resulting in engine dying. so im on the 2nd brand new (in 1 months time cause bent other) mechanical pump and replaced fuel filter, hoses and used good clamps. it idled good and didnt stall sitting in neutral but 1 mile or so and did exact same thing it was.

*One side note, I did during this time leave oil cap off as I am dumb and spewed oil in engine compartment but not to the point it was covered everywhere, just thin layer here and there.

Back to issue, I did notice that the screen to the gas can I used had come off at some point and may have dumped 1-2 gallons w/o maybe 3 or 4 times in a month. Whatever was in the gas in that semi which I siphoned or however old it was caused the major turning point.

I did replace vacuum advance hose but does it take a specific size and type of hose.

Dont have phone, but this is the most similar setup to what I have only i have the bigger offy intake and a LC Engineering water block plate. thank you for any help! HERE is link to picture of similar set up

Put some "HEET" in it and hope for the best, you probably got some water and you may need to tear down your carb to clean it out.
