Not familiar with the 3.0L but engines need fuel, spark and compression. If it idles well, it has compression and spark. I would then look at fuel. Has it been layed-up for any period of time? Might have a fuel flow issue (pump not producing enough fuel, clogged filter, fuel tank pick-up clogged) or it could be something wrong with the carb itself. Needle and seat, float, accelerator pump. It could still be something spark related. I normally start with spark and fuel. The gurus will be along shortly to tell you where to start. Hope it is nothin serious. What carb is on it?
