Thanks,

I checked the belt timing, all is well. Tomorrow I'm going to check the
pressure regulator. I actually have it running a bit; so bad tho that I
can't even leave the driveway in it. I'll pinch off the fuel return line
and see what happens.

The most confounding problems I have had are the late 80's Hondas.
