What do you expect from a van with a 150cc engine lol.
But seriously, there is a list of possibilities and the chances that anyone is going to pluck the correct possibility out of their jacksey on a motoring MB like this are remote.

well it could be your ignition system depending on how old it is and if it has contact points in the distributor or if it is fully electronic ignition. that is one reason another would be burned valve another possibile cause could be the carburettor but then it normally would run rough always. same as for burned valve. so i would start with the ignition and timing advance mechanism as that is what changes when you have full throttle and eas off fully old vaccume type that is.

1500cc carby, sounds like an a15 until he said 1994. I've never heard of the ga15ds being used in a van. Points in the dizzy is another clue its an a15.
