it's a posibility that with short hops just once and a while the plug's are fouled out ,,also check the distrubier cap for nastie's ,some time's on a hot car you have to run them hard for a while to keep thecob's blown out ,plus old gas can be a problem .if it sit's for a long time put some stable,fuel stabilizert in the tank to keep the carb and pump from guming up .good luck
