Ride #2 didn’t go so well. About two miles into the ride today, the bike began to lose power and bog down. It finally died on the side of the road and wouldn’t restart. I waited about five minutes and it started, albeit sluggishly. Another 1/2 mile down the road, it died again. Engine would turn over but not start. I waited about thirty minutes, got it to light, and turned around and nursed it home. It died again on the way but I was on a downhill and was able to roll into the garage.

I don’t think it’s fueling — I think it’s ignition-related. As a nearly 50-year old bike, I think something is generating excessive resistance as it heats up. I’ll go through all the connections again and start with the coils and plug wires.
