I have a '79 Plymouth Champ, with a 1600cc engine.  I had recently
had the carburator rebuilt.  The car ran fine for about a month,
then start to hesitate while accelerating. I.E. in second gear, at about
35 MPH (about 3,000 rpm) and press the accelerator to the floor.  The
car would act like it was about to die, then would accelerate. Thinking
that it was flooding, I took it back to where I had had the carb. rebuilt.
They told me the car was in bad tune.
	I tuned it up (replaced plugs, points, condenser, plug wires,
cap and rotor, and the coil {they said the coil was weak})  It still
hesitates like it did before.  (it hesitates in all 4 gears, but is
most notible in second).
	Does anyone have any ideas as to what it is?  I think I need
to take it back to the carb shop (that is it's name, by the way),
but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem, and a
solution.

	Many Thanks,
	Ken Brown

PS.	The Champ is/was made by mitsubishi, and is the precursor to
	the Dodge Colt.
