You didn't happen to flip that little mechanical governor on your carb, didja?

Seriously though... can you give any more information that might be useful?

What kinda plugs did you use? Your fuel pump could be going out, but thats sort of the last thing you test since they don't go out too often.

i looked at the dizzy cap and all of the connections had some wear but none of them looked all that bad, how much wear would it take to cause a problem?
