Subject:'85 powerloss from a stop
From:craig cowan

Got the bus back on the road and ready for inspection. All new brakes
(lines, hoses, etc), Bearings, and a whole plethora of other things
including adjusting the timing on the 1.9 Engine, and i have a few
issues. First and most importantly, if accelerating from a stop, it
hesitates bigtime and nearly stalls out. Im talking pedal on the
floor, clutch all the way up (tried varrying the speed of releasing
the clutch), it just about dies. Its catastrophic on hills, it cannot
hold without the engine almost dying. I dont think its a cluth
problem, i think its an engine problem. The clutch is newer, and while
the problem was existant before, its MUCH more noticeable now.

Then theres the random oil light....cant find the problem here....
