Hi there,

My type 3 generally runs really well but it has this one issue that seems to be getting worse. When I accelerate from a stop it looses heaps of power. It's fine when it's going, even kinda zippy but taking off can be really slow. If I put my foot flat to the ground, sometimes it will almost stall. It also seems to be worse on hot days...
Any ideas?

Thanks
Pete

I had a similar problem, check your inline fuel filter, could be blocked.

Accelerator pump?
009 dizzie or non-functioning vacuum advance on stock dizzie?
