Our 78 Accord hesitates under acceleration and sometimes
stalls out under deceleration. Revving the engine and slipping
the clutch allows one to pull away smoothly. The problem is
most pronounced when the car has thoroughly warmed up. There
is also missing at about 2200 rpm and  a descent of mileage
to around 25 highway (from 35).

A standard tune has been done, and this is a rebuilt carb.
One mechanic thinks it is a malfunctioning accelerator pump.
I think he may be thinking of only one symptom. Anyone got
any ideas for repairs or for diagnostic procedures.

What about locating another rebuilt carb and making a transplant?
Anyone know any sources in the western suburbs of Chi area?
