I'm having an issue that makes it impossible to get outta town in my coach.

When accelerating, it seems to be fine up to 40 or 50 as long as I'm not
too heavy on the peddle. But when I need to get on the highway or go up any
sort of hill on the highway, the engine starts surging as though it wants
to go but is gasping for air or gas. The more I press on the accelerator,
the more I slow down. Flooring it is out of the question. It will however,
cruise very nicely on level highway with downhill ramps.

The other symptom is a dead spot when I start from a stop. The engine seems
like it will die then surges. It makes stop and go traffic kinda difficult.

I'll spare you all the back story, but you should know that my last
mechanic said I had the wrong jets in the carb and replaced them. I've
taken it back to him and he swears the carb and fuel supply are all good.
I'm not so sure.

Any ideas? Could this be an ignition problem?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
