Loses power under acceleration but only when warmed up
I've got a recently-purchased '75 campermobile that seems just fine
until it gets warmed up -- and then it loses power under acceleration. I didn't notice the problem when I first bought it but after driving it about 100 miles I first noticed the problem starting going around curves on the interstate but then it became persistent. Any suggestions (other than get my money back)? |

What engine? Carby? My hunch says it is something simple, rather than a destroyed engine. Question is- what? Fuel starvation? Electrical problem? Post as many clues as is possible.
