sounds like a lack of fuel. first thing i'd check is fuel filters. next, i'd check to make sure the lift pump is working. after that, cracked fuel lines.

... and don't forget to clean out your air filter! The faster the engine goes, the more air it needs.

Yes, that needs mentioning too: 2700 RPM is a little bit above the redline for an LDT engine, and a lot above the RPMs you should be running if you want to have a nice long trouble free relationship with your LDT engine, that was probably assembled by some miscellaneous guy at Toole.

Check out all the threads that contain MF and rod...
