Definitely, plus it really screws up your schedule standing on the side of
the road scratching your watch and winding your butt.
I elimintaed the little glass bowl filter and have been using the large
metal inline filters ahead of the fuel pump.
The gas tank was boiled and cleaned out at a radiator shop and was spotless
when I put it on the car, or so I thought. It could also be that I got ahold
of some bad gas somwhere along the way.
I will probably add a glass inline filter after the pump to carbs.
