Greetings all - and THANKS in advance for any ideas or suggestions.
I've got a problem with no power at low RPMs. The coach really has a hard time getting rolling. Bogs down quite a bit.
Suspecting a carb problem, I took off the air cleaner and drove around the block (engine cover off) to observe things. At idle, everything sounds fine. With a bit of throttle - it sounds like the hose off an air compressor. Really load air hissing noise. Really loud.
There are no really obvious vacuum leaks or disconnects.
And I'm not sure that the "power valve" or "power piston" on the carb is working. I push on it with a straw and there's no movement.
Any ideas ??
I haven't checked vacuum controlled advance or retard yet... it feels like a fuel delivery problem.
