Subject:Quick troubleshooting question

I am about to dive into troubleshooting a problem with my '87 westy. It =
seems that after giving it more than 1/4 throttle while under load in =
any gear, I lose all power. If I let off the gas pedal, it comes back to =
life. However, I can rev it freely when it's in neutral, so it seems to =
be associated with load. It also does this whether warm or cold. I'm not =
sure where to start, but I figured I would start with the buzzing fuel =
pump and go from there. It seems if it were a fueling issue, it would be =
more of a sputter, not a sudden cut-out like it is.=20

 It seems like there are so many routes one could take. What would you =
do?

Thanks!
