So, I'm driving the new rig home and as I charge a hill in 3rd the thing seems to lose power right above 3000 rpms. Doesn't happen in any other gear that I can tell. I just got irt and haven't looked at the fuel filter, it also has the original carb. Any ideas?

 

It happens even when level, and always above 3000 rpms.

If it helps, it sort of surges and drops out, I can feel it lose power in spurts.

I'm hoping that this is not a transmission problem.

Change both the front and rear fuel filters.

I will give it a go. Is it strange that it would only lose power in third?

That did the trick. I'm trying to get better about poking around in here a bit before I start a new thread. Thanks again.
