[Mgs] Sputter

[John Linkosky]

I have been having the same problem with my 72 roadster, HIF carbs, over the
last month. I first noticed the loss of power going up hill at speed on an
interstate highway, checked the fuel filter and discovered it was full of
rust. I ordered a new tank and replaced it along with a new fuel filter. The
symptoms returned. I switched out fuel pumps and still no joy as the car
continues to periodically sputter and lose power going up long grades. I
think there must be some debris that is blocking the fuel intake in the bowl
of the carb, or the float occasionally gets hung up in the closed position.
I will find out tonight as I plan to disassemble the carbs to look for the
cause. I will report back if I find anything. John
