Steve,
Please let me know what you find. I have a very similar problem with my
TR3. It will run wonderful for some time. Then out of nowhere it will
start to miss and sputter. I have to pull off the road and let it idle for
a minute or two then it will run again, but normally not for more than 2-3
minutes. If I wait too long to pull over, it will die and I have to
re-prime the carbs to get it going again. I just rebuild the fuel pump and
it worked great for a couple of trips, but yesterday it started again.
Seems to happen on hot days, but now always. I've tried to re-route the
fuel lines, eliminated the original fuel shutoff valve and put an in-line
filter in to make sure I wasn't getting any junk in the lines. I don't
think it is a vacuum problem with the cap as I am able to easily get fuel to
the carbs with the manual lever on the fuel pump. I'm at my wits end.
Maybe its the Florida weather, I'm in Tampa :), but I actually had the
problem in New York too.
Pete
