Re: [DML] Fuel Distributor Problems

[Jeff Phillips <rvparty@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think that we are going to need more information to help you out. 
You say that it won't accellerate when giving it more throttle.  What
does it do?  If it literaly does nothing but idle when you hit the gas
then you probably have a disconnected throttle linkage or broken
throttle cable.  Operate the throttle spindle by hand to eliminate the
cable.

Otherwise, increasing the throttle should have some effect, it should
either accellerate the engine RPMs if all is working fine, or kill the
engine.  Lets assume the fuel distributor is bad and not providing
more fuel, pressing the throttle opens the throttle plates which
increases the oxygen which without increased gas would cause the
engine to quit.  I'm guessing that this is what you are experiencing
but some more information will yield better help from the list.
