Hello!

After a long lay-up my '82 has a loss of power.

It runs and idles but when I try to accelerate it is very flat and struggles to make 40mph.

Is it totaled?

Thanks for any suggestions

Does it seem to go slower when you push the pedal farther down? Like, you get more power by using less throttle? If so, then look into clogged jets in the carb. Otherwise, how old is the fuel filter?
