Sounds like a sudden misfire as opposed to just general poor running.  Try
jiggling the key while it's running.  The ignition switch has know to wear out
and might cause this.  If so, replace just the electrical switch not the key
portion.

Have you check out a shop called Claude's Buggies in Famersville.  I never had
any service done by them, just some parts.  Don't even know if there still
around.

Good Luck.
