Steve,
Sounds like a perforated rubber diaphragm in the Z-S. Remove the four
screws holding the piston chamber on top, and check out the condition of
the diaphragm. I have an unbelieveable tale to tell regarding one of these
failures back about 15 years ago. Car started and ran fine - no missing or
anything like that - but just NO power. If I'm right about your's, it's
going to get worse. New diaphragm is about $6.
Let us know what you find out.
