I've finally traced what I first believed to be a carb problem to a clogged exhaust system. The coach has sat for 5-6 years with only occasional starting and moving around the storage yard. It's still a little surprising as the entire exhaust system appears to be in decent shape externally but I have virtually no flow out the tailpipe. I confirmed there's no heat riser issue, it appears to be removed with the shaft holes plugged if there was even one there in the first place.

I'm puzzled as to exactly what is clogged...mufflers, exhaust pipe or tail pipe? I can't visualize how any of those would actually close up. It might help before I start tearing into it to know what's the likely culprit.
