Steve,
Year/model car?
SU's or ...? If SU's there are those inlet screens (on the banjo fittings, I
believe).
Any crap in the fuel filter?
Has your gas tank ever been cleaned/flushed/boiled out? If yes, when? If
not, it's time.

Sounds like intermittent fuel starvation.
Junk (flakes of rust, paint, preservative) in the tank collecting at/over
the pickup point, perhaps?

Subject: [Roadsters] Fuel problems
Group,
On the way back from our Mississippi River run in July my engine started
missing to the point where I could barely keep it running even at freeway
speeds. I did make it home and found that my fuel pump was leaking. I
changed out the fuel pump and added a clear gas fuel filter before the fuel
pump the problem appeared to have been solved. Last week during a lake
shore ride to see the Harley's here in Milwaukee for the 105th she started
missing again. The engine would die but I was able to get it started again
and proceed towards home. The new fuel pump appears to be working and the
timing is at 16 btdc. Bad fuel? Dirty/rusty fuel tank? Any ideas would be
welcome.
Thanks
Steve Harvey
