Sorry, you provided so much information about the problem that I can't sort it all out.  :shake:
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

Here is a guy that helps out when others need help & you guys can't even give him a good starting point.

Start by looking at the loose nut behind the wheel then go from there  :gap:

Do you have good gas in the fuel tank or is it the old stuff that has been sitting? what is it doing when you throttle up?

My buddy had about the same problem awhile back. Well we started with checkin the electricals, then fuel system, check compression, you name it and was a easy to check thing we did. To come to find out blown head gasket, but not loosing any water no water in the oil, installed new head gasket and she runs like a camp. It did kinda did have a rough idle, but once you hit the skinny pedal it went to SH*t. Try that... Hope i could help man, Im new just tryin to give my  :twocents: worth

It's the spark plugs.  Change the spark plugs.

Since you're not getting the answer here, why not start a thread in each other section  :dunno:
