Help!  The 84 camper was running fine.  I went to start it after letting
it sit for a couple of hours and I got a gassy PUT and it didn't kick
over.  I was on a hill so I roll started it.  No power.  At the bottom
of the hill I could get it to start and idle but if I give it any gas it
would choke out and die.  I let it sit for several hours - no
improvement.  I let it sit overnight and Sunday morning it would start,
rev up without dying but would choke out if I put it under any power.  I
was able to get it back in the driveway reving and riding the clutch.
This morning I was able to limp it - pumping the gas peddle and riding
the clutch until it got up to a bit of speed - then it would go along
pretty well until I let off the gas or shifted - then pump, pump pump
until it would smooth out.

My mechanic can't look at it until the end of the week so I get to
puzzle over it for a few days.

All theories welcome!  Please forward them to me off list.

Thanks!
