I got 4 or 5 streets out and the first time I popped it into neutral it died and wouldn't start back up. Definitely seems fuel related to me. There is no hesitation or misfiring and no bucking. As soon as my foot comes off the gas it immediately dies, it doesn't even come down slightly.

I got AAA'ed to my mechanic so best case scenario I pay an hour of labor for him to diagnose it. He won't do any work on it because it's not factory anymore.


Side note: Don't ever try to get on and/or off a flat bed with cut springs.
Yes, it does sound like a fuel issue, but it could be a bad carb setting as well.
