Volks,

I have been working on my 84 Westy and have almost got it running right.  My
only problem is a skip that occurs at about 5 mi/hr. in first gear, 21 mi/hr.
in second gear,
about 35 mi/hr in third and about 52 mi/hr. in forth gear.  It was running
much rougher until I corrected some leaks in the exhaust header.  The skip is
there whether the engine is cold or hot, so I doubt if it is Oxygen Sensor
related.  I have tried two different air flow meters with the same results.

If anyone has had this problem, please let me know what you did to solve it.

TIA,
John
