Guys, I've got a problem with the motor bogging down upon acceleration. If you back off the pedal just a little it takes off sometimes and will run up to speed and run normal until slowing for traffic. When pulling a hill it lugs until it shifts in lower gear and then it usually takes off and will get up to speed. If your climbing a real hill (very steep) it just slows to a stop chugging all the while. I pulled the distributor and cleaned up the cap as it had some oil in it and slightly filed the contacts, reassembled and it did seem to help as I was able to drive 150 miles home but it's not fixed by any means. I would appreciate any and all help with diagnosing this problem. Bruce
