Hi All
  I have an 86 Chevy Class C Motorhome and while towing my Corvair 
Autocross car to St Augustine last month I noticed a loss in power compared to the 
same trip last fall. It would not pull faster that 55 mph and when you gave 
it more peddle it would Bogg down, let up and it would run smooth but no 
faster? A friend asked if I was using gas that had ethanol in it and I told him 
yes, he suggested trying Marine Sta-Bil as its for fuel with ethanol. It 
helped a little but did not cure the problem. I changed out the fuel pump and 
no change. The fuel filter is next to check ( only has the one at the carb ) 
or could it be Electrical as it pulls good at low rpm's but when it gets to 
mid-range with full peddle it boggs, even in lower gears ( 3 speed Auto )
  Anyone have this problem ? Sorry for this being a little long but I 
wanted to pain a full picture.
 Thanks
 Gene Barr
