Welcome aboard!

Pour about three cans of Seafoam in the gas tank while you are fixing it up.

If you have original plug wires on that rig they are 26 yrs. old. Change them and doing the plugs isn't a bad idea either. Let us know how it turns out.

Still working on it

Thank you all for the welcomes its a great feeling that there is some support.
I changed all the plugs and wires even put in a new distributer with coils and all, put 3 cans of seafoam as suggested, took out and tested all fuel injectors thanks to google cleaned rail. Changed pressure regulator and maps sensor, Have not took carburetor apart to clean since there may be some build up. It starts up great and idles really good can drive about 30 mph but that's it putters can not accelerate feeling like there's not enough gas or maybe air when I accelerate. Any suggestion

Your recent post

We are glad that your introduced yourself in the New Members forum. However you will get better responses by asking questions about your Winnebago in the Winnebago Owners forum. All the forums have different uses. Using the correct one will get you the best visibility. Not many will respond to a post in New Members.

Let me know if you need additional help.

TonyDi

I had a 1976 motor home that a picked up in 2000. It had been setting in storage for some time. I did the carburetor, plugs, plug wires,and so on. I did not add sea foam wish i had known about that back then. Mine ran like what you described. I changed all vacuum lines. I changed all other houses a week after that due to a radiator hose going out. Knowing what i do now i would just change all houses. The changing of the vacuum hoses fixed my rough running no acceleration problem. I wish you success. I enjoyed several years in mine after the rebuild.
