Hi all:
We're currently stuck on the side of the highway limping along to the nearest exit. Started out cold just fine and about 20 minutes on the highway going around 65-68 MPH, the engine started surging. It acts like the engine is starving for gas, as hills were really tough to get over. If I give it more gas, it has no power at all and starts misfiring, if I left off the gas a little it runs a little smoother but it's barely enough to get up an incline. We pulled over and let things cool off for about 30 minutes, starts right up and goes for about a mile then starts the same thing all over again. Eventually it gets so bad that we creep along slowly and it just doesn't have anything left and stalls completely after about 4-10 miles or so. We've gone about 60 miles total stopping and starting again about 5 times now, and are pretty much stuck at this point. We've looked it over and no evidence of anything leaking, not overheating or anything. It seems to me to be a fuel issue, but not sure. It also seems to get worse and worse as the engine heats up to full normal temp.

We recently put in a new fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel lines and tanks recoated, new float and needle in the carb and put on about 400 miles until this happened.

Any suggestions or ideas before we call the wrecker? We are on I-75 just south of Grayling, MI. It's about 76 degrees out and dry.

Thanks all!
