Volks,

After redoing the cylinder heads on my 84 Westy 1.9, it ran great for about
150 miles.
This morning it started cutting out at a certain engine speed.  I don't have
a tach, but it seems to be cutting out at the same engine speed.  I changed
the airflow meter thinking that the bucking was caused by a bad spot on the
airflow meter--no joy.

Now what do I do?  Is this the terrible "Vanagon Syndrome?"  If it is, is
there a procedure for looking for the cause/causes of the problem?

TIA,
