[Healeys] 67, BJ8 Acceleration problems

[Johnsen, Bernard F (AS)]

Sounds like fuel delivery (acceleration requires more fuel than steady
cruise).

	I don't think it is a fuel delivery to the carburetor problem.
The float bowls take care of immediate fuel needs. A weak fuel pump or
clogged fuel filter would evidence themselves by the car being able to
accelerate to a certain speed (by consuming fuel already in the float
bowls) but not being able to maintain that speed (because fuel was being
consumed faster than the float bowls could refill).
	On the other hand, it could be lack of sufficient fuel delivery
between the carbs and the combustion chambers.
