Hello Bucko-neers-

For all of you have have read my saga like it was a best selling novel- Thanks for all your advice. And a heartfelt thanks at that!  

I was on the verge of spending all my buckos on "my Bucko", when i looked at something once again that one of you had suggested looking at.  The ECU.  

Now I told you last week that I swapped the ECU and then it was OK. The ECU I swapped to is a Bosch. The other is a Trump-Adler.  
But it wasn't long before the bucking came back. So, I had ruled out the ECU as the problem. Well, this time I got my face real close to the computer pins and plug contacts- they were covered with a film.  

I got some Isopropyl Alcohol and a brush, and cleaned these contacts till they shined.  
I put the Bosch ECU in, took it for a test drive-no bucking.  
Drove to town 6 miles round trip-no bucking! I can't believe it!

I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic-but I want to go out and shout -It works!
I won't do this in consideration of the neighbors.  

Now this Westfalia bombs! That high revving 1-4 power is back -all 115 horses.  
I hope it's true-and that 'ol bucko is rally gone for good-
