[Healeys] Roadside failures

[wpollock@inbox]

1.Carbs mis adjusted and car was running too rich.  Fouled the plugs last 
year at Conclave in VT.  Going up a hill,car just slowed to a stop with no 
power due to the sooted and fouled plugs.

2.Front float bowl full of dirt up to the fuel exit hole.  Limped home with 
severe misfiring from northern VT.  Changed points and plugs on the road and 
disconnected the fuel line at the carbs to see if fuel was coming to the 
carbs.  Found problem when I was home and removed the float bowl covers. 
Fuel line filter had been removed by a professional who had worked on the 
car and didn't believe in fuel filters.  Now have one on the car and a spare 
in my parts bag.   This occurred coming home from a meet in Montreal.
