Been working at getting my mk1 back on the road after not being mot'd and sat for 8 years before i bought it.

Im having an issue at the moment with the car bogging down after 3k RPM in any gear except first which will allow you to accelerate to about 5k then it will also have the same problem.

Symptoms are car is accelerating as you would expect then just starts bogging down and popping can be heard from the exhaust and there is no further increase in speed in that gear.

The car will drive around part throttle fine with no issues below the 3k mark.

So far i have changed the spark plugs, the leads, the rotor cap and arm.

I have re done the grounds on the vehicle and alternator to positive terminal.

I have cleaned the contacts on the ignitier.

I have also suspected timing but i dont seem to be able to see the timing marks from above as the engine mount seems to be blocking my view.

Due to the fact the exhaust is popping i am ruling out a fueling problem as it will be running rich to cause that condition rather than lean i imagine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated before i go buying more bits to try.
