1. Fuel pressure (not the most likely, but check it)
2. Airflow meter (the most likely)
3. Ignition timing and advance controls, including idle stabilizer. (Sorry,
I missed earlier posts and have no time to go hunting - is this an 83
aircooled or H2O boxer? I forget whether the federal, 48 state model has
electronic ignition.The earlier years didn't, so they also don't HAVE an
idle stabilizer to check...)
