[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 253383, member: 7544"] It's going to be an extremely rare occasion when you see an engine go from running normal to not running right because it's getting "too much" fuel. The vast majority of the time it will be an electrical problem in the ignition system or a fuel delivery problem, as is not getting enough fuel. Based on my experiences, the fuel system will get clogged or choked down because of trash or varnish blocking normal fuel flow or the fuel pump not working properly in most cases when it's a fuel related problem with an engine that's been stored. When it's an electrical problem it can be any number of things like old/fouled plugs or points, bad plug wires, shorts in the wiring from cracked insulation or bad/dirty grounds just to name a few.
