I bought a 1986 M1009 and I can't seem to kill the gremlin that's plaguing it. Here are the symptoms... and what I've done to fix them...it starts and runs perfectly, always. I drove at high speed (75) and long distance 60 miles... it ran great, then out of the blue it turned sluggish like it was starving for fuel above 45mph... one mechanic replaced the small fuel pump and fuel filter...it ran perfectly for about 200 miles... then the exact same problem returned. The next mechanic said it was sludge in the fuel tank... which made sense... replacing the fuel pump and filter allowed it to run great, for a while... so we replaced the fuel tank and fuel filter (again) and it ran great for about another 200 miles... now today, I drove to the neighboring town to get some tires mounted, and guess what happened on the way home??? Same symptoms.... and it stalls at red lights. Wtf???
Please... please tell me someone can diagnose this online...
Could it be a 30 year old rubber fuel line releasing (chunks)? Could it be a line sucking in air??? I'm at a loss...
