Hey ya,

I was test driving an 87 westy today and noticed that there was a abnormally
long lag between getting on the power and actually feeling the engine kick
in (about 1 second).  The engine was cold and I was going up a "medium"
hill.  The exhaust had a small leak (kinda like a kid blowing on your cheek
at idle)....

Is the exhaust leak to blame?  Or is this a sign of something more sinister
that could be happening inside the guts? (the engine was rebuilt in 1995 and
there are about 50K on it).

Vancouver...
