So my 85 Brat is a champ, not at all bummed on how the old girl is running at the moment however... I do understand that at 62 hp there aint a whole lotta power to push out to the wheels and she certainly wasn't built for speed!! I am concerned though, on hills if I keep my foot on the accelerator she bogs way down and threatens to die out on me, soon as I release the accelerator a touch she picks right back up and goes!! Is this just a side effect of having very low power, or am I having other issues within the motor keeping me from performing at her best? To address this issue so far I have done:

- Spark Plugs

- Alternator

- Battery

- Fresh Oil

- Sea Foam fuel treatment

- Air Filter

I feel pretty confident that all of my electrical is tight, but now I believe I am having fuel delivery issues. My next step is replacing all fuel lines, fuel filters and cleaning the carb. If you have any suggestions or similar experience I would love to hear about it. Thanks!!

Same thing on my '84 wagon. Replaced fuel filters and all was good.

You may want to check your cat converter. It may be plugged up, which can cause similar symptoms to yours.

1% weak fuel pump

Awesome thanks! I am also having some idling issues, thinking that all of the problems I am having are linked to this fuel filter dilemma, I will check the pump as well as the lines. Thank you for the quick feedback!!
