1975 -TR6  Dual SU HS6 carb setup, mech fuel pump
Occasionally (but not on full tank) car will develop a low bass exhaust 
noise, car will then stall. Push clutch in, wait 5 seconds, let clutch out 
car restarts.

Not a problem on a lonely road but a little (lot) disconcerting in traffic.

Suggestions so far - fuel pump is too tired (it is original), low dashpot 
oil level (topped up, problem still occurs), debris in the fuel - blocks 
filter occasionally, fuel stops pumping when stalled and clears the line?

Any other suggestions before I replace the fuel pump and filter?

Thanks,

Allan
