    Power mystery -

    This A4 starts reasonably quickly with a bit of choke then when warmed up and choke off will respond normally to throttle when in neutral from idle up to "redline" (no tach.) and back without pause or stumbling. Develops normal power and usable (normal) rpm in reverse. The trouble is that when put in forward, I can get the engine off idle a few hundred rpm or about a quarter of available throttle and corresponding power but no more. This engine has clean fuel, new filters, clean carburetor, electronic fuel pump, new plugs.

    So - power in reverse, no power in forward. I thinking the problem is in the reversing gear only because I can't think of an engine related issue that is consistent with symptoms. Perhaps the brake band is not releasing fully when in neutral or forward? I'm not getting the typical audible signature of the reversing gear in reverse. There is a noticeable neutral band in the shifting lever. Any ideas?
