Hey! New to this site, hell, new coach owner to begin with.
Bought my '81 Fleetwood Superior (368cid 4bbl) about 3 weeks ago; only has 104,xxx on the clock, and runs (relatively) well. Problem is the 'relatively'. As we were driving back from dallas, about 150 miles into the drive, it started surging and choking out, like it wasn't getting fuel. got progressively worse over the next 30 miles or so to the house. Next time it happened, I had driven it on several errands(about 40 mi. worth), and it did it on the way home. Feels like a fuel flow issue, but I'm not 100% sure. Sprayed carb cleaner in it and am going to try it out today, but does anyone have any other suggestions?
Oh, and before it's asked, I tuned it up immediately after purchase(oil, filter, plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor, air filter). It was sitting for about 2 years, but almost on empty so there wasn't more than a couple gallons of gas in it.
I would appreciate any help/ideas!
thanks
