cel,

Sounds more like something changed since the last time you drove it. Bad gas? Stuck float? A bit of dust in a carb passage? Lots of small things to check...

To your question, hydraulic roller lifters can last practically forever - hundreds of thousands of miles in factory installations. Mine are well past 40K miles and are doing fine in a 460-based engine.

If you have a carb, I'd make sure it was OK first. Then maybe the ignition?
