Coach ran ok before parked for total brake overhaul had fuel issue which was a big part of my initial fuel starving problem when i first got the coach. Dealt with that for a while till i had tanks and fuel lines redone. Have changed out the Qjet filter so many times i could do it almost blind folded. Has been sitting bout a month . Test drove the last few days to test brakes out now new problem ( seems like one after another ) . Symptoms now it starts right up but hit the gas and has little power and seems like it wants to stall out but it does'nt tried to drive and its missing and backfiring through the carb . One thing when it backfired it seemed like somthing cleared and it had power and would accelerate well . That lasted a few minutes of driving and then back to stumble bumble. Replaced vacume hoses and checked for disconected or cracked vac hoses did'nt help. Plugs have been changed prior. I dont think at this point it is fuel but ? I am leaning towards ignition at this point . Not very savvy on this part of trouble shooting thinking changing parts on Distributer HEI stuff is still from PO that i did'nt replace per was running decent. What parts should i change on Distributor again not really knowledgable on the ignition components. Are the parts the same on a '76 Toro cap,rotor etc.? Thanks any help would be great. A little bummed out right now since i just spent the last 2 months on my back under the beast after work and on weekends doing brake lines . I know this is what to expect in some degree but talk about getting a punch to the gut. Thanks again Tony.
