Since you guys were dead on with our fuel pump/dead engine issue, my husband thought this might be a good place to post our power loss issue.
We've had this problem in our 74 Bug for a while now (since my husband brought it back to life about 5 years ago after it sat for about 10 years). In 4th gear on hills, it seems to lose more power than it should. I realize that it's expect you'd have to downshift on a hill sometimes but my husband says it seems to have less power than what he remembers when he had it running years ago. Our mechanic friend who does the yearly inspection did a compression test 2 years ago and all checked out reasonably well. Plugs and wires are only about 2,000 miles old. Any thoughts? I'd have thought perhaps worn rings but given that it's only a 4th gear problem and the last compression test did ok, seems strange.
Thanks in advance!
