The first week my 73 Satellite was back on the road, it ran great.
Then I started having a power loss at and just below WOT.
It continued to get worse until a few days ago.
In another post, I had accelerator pump issues (clip came off) and fuel pump issues (thought sure that was the main problem).
So now I'm back to...
Everything feels OK until 2500 RPM in third gear.
Then the engine feels like it's laboring, and then cuts out.
If I keep my foot still, the engine picks back up at 1500, but cuts out again at 2500 and will continue to do this until I let off.
If I let off, it will be OK until I either add moderate throttle, or get back up to 2500.
WTF?
I replaced the brain with a known good unit- no change.
I'm going to try the coil next.
I'm not really sure it's electrical vs fuel, but the clear filter is full and clean, although this is hard to verify at 2500 RPM under load.
Power braking is fine but it won't go over about 2200 RPM (converter stall?).
