Think you are on the right track, i.e., fuel or vacum: But what do the spark plugs look like and when did you last replace them? --- On Thu, 8/28/08, Brian Denning <i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Brian Denning <i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] what's going on with this (vacuum leak or what) To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, August 28, 2008, 7:32 AM #yiv1805283872 .hmmessage P { margin:0px;padding:0px;} #yiv1805283872 { FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma;} yesterday i replaced points, condensor, cap and rotar. the points were clearly burned. the bus is acting as if it's loading up and dieing...i have to stay on the throttle a little bit to keep it running, it pops and sputters when i reach any respectable rpm while driving too. i've checked risers, i have brand new intake boots on it, and i checked torque on teh weber. what does that leave? compression? i hope that isn't the problem any suggestions. points are gapped correctly. oh, also, when i adjust timing fast or slow it doesn't really affect how fast the motor runs.
