[Healeys] Not Healey XK 150 Fuel / Ignition problem update

[Jonas Payne]

Drained the tank,



Downright clean .  A couple large chunks of rust, but not the sludge I
expected.  running a rod and rag through the bottom hole comes up pretty
clean.  Nothing like I expected at all.



Disconnected line at carb and pumps, blew a couple shots of clean gas back
through them - clean.



Inlets to pumps/ pump filters  - clean



Line from pump back to tank - clean.



Daignosis - unlikely that sludge or rust is causing the problem.



Time to test the pumps and following that, look for an ignition problem.



As a side note.  The jets on the SU's are like a healey's - they have the
rubber "diaphragm?" on the bottom.  Could this be a possibility?







Having had the front carb in my Morgan get clogged once, the drivability
problem was similar, but it was also similar to a failing coil and bad
condenser too.



Unfortunately the hunt goes on and remains undiagnosed.  Fortunately, it
doesn't appear that I have do do a tank removal and remediation.
