Weak sister

My C500 Continental 4 cyl LP starts great after new plugs etc. but will not hardly idle when put in gear. It seems to not want to accelerate but eventually will, then you drop it in gear & slam on the brakes and you've killed it. ( the inching petal doesn't work & that doesn't help any). It acts like it is starved for gas. Any help would be appreciated.

Does it run on gasoline or propane? Are the points clean and adjusted (if it has them)? Did you try adjusting the timing? Is the motor skipping? That could mean a bad head gasket. A compression test is in order if it's skipping.
