| I drive a 75 1800cc fuel injected westy..It's run good for a few years now but now it's losing compression when I get into 3rd and especially 4th gear. It starts to sputter and I cant get any acceleration..it loses it until about 15-25mph and I can usually revive it in 2nd gear, or else it dies. what's going on here? |

When was the last time the fuel filter was replaced?

| The lack of compression could be due to faulty carbs. You might need to rebuild them or buy a new set. I just had the smae problem on my 73 fasty and it was the carbs. I just bought a new set and got rid of the original set. I got them from revolks.com. They seem to be really cheap in comparison to the rest. |

| It can't be my carbs, because it's fuel injected...and the fuel filter was replaced just recently |
