Throttle cable adjustment, opening all the way? Try swapping the whole carb as that could eliminate a few potential possiblities. Bolts tight?

Is it through the whole range, launch (60' & converter flash) to finish (mph)? How much is the weather different between the last good run and when the problem showed up? Anything different with the air filter, filter base, etc.? Same weight?

How old are the plug wires, cap & rotor?
Batteries & alternator putting out good voltage to everything?
Check battery terminals for corrosion.

Distributor leads tight? I had a wire start wiggling out of the plastic connector, shut the motor off and wouldn't restart. But it could cause an intermittant miss down track.

Sounds like it has to be something simple.
