Sounds fuel related - indeed - almost identical to some issues I was having
a while back. Too cheap to throw old boat gas away, I fed it through the
Rover. The result was a seemingly endless series of plugged fuel filters.
At steady running or idle, enough fuel would seep through to fill the bowl,
but when you needed more power/fuel, it would stumble and/or quit.
Usually, by the time I got the vehicle stopped on the verge, it would be
idling sweetly.) I have since burned up all of that tank...anybody want
some more 'free' petrol?
There was another time that I swore it was the fuel pump that was at fault,
even rebuilt the bugger to no avail. It was some dicey points that were
the real culprits. (Never seen the innards of a 24v dizzy, tho'....)
Good luck....
