I changed the distributor cap, rotor, points, and condensor on an 1989
engine in a Donzi. It will now start like a champ, but won't run past
1000 rpm.

The "professional" mechanic says the timing and compressioin are right,
and I got the plug wires back in the right sequence. He thinks it might
have jumped a tooth in the timing chain.

Anybody with any ideas.

Run a compression check on each cylinder. Run a spark gap check on
each cylinder. Check the ignition advance at idle and up.

Then you'll know what the problem is.
