I think he means distributor..
I think you have a combination of things..I think the vacuum advance is sticking or not advancing properly,the fuel,as Richard said may not be getting to the carb,under load ,but good enough for an idle and you may have a valve sticking ,due to sitting around,which those flatheads were notorious for..
I think you are loosing power through your advance ..
Make sure your distributor is clean and adjusted and your wires are new points set right and timed properly..
A cracked dist.cap will play havoc with it and even old gas will do what you are discribing..I aways used slick 50 of duralube in the engines of any vehicles that sat for extended periods..
So some of those things are pretty easy to fix..I'd start with fresh gas,if you run it off a 5 gallon gas can it should be a snap..
Good luck and keep posting and we'll get it fixed.
Just like we did for others..
