[Mgs] hesitation

[Malcolm Jeffcock]

An update:

first the professional who tuned them is just that, not a "professional". I 
have no doubt in the quality of his work and and sure that their are many 
who sing his praise regarding the quality of his work on British cars.

I replaced the fuel filter, the one in line before the carbs situate on the 
inner fender area. This one has a clear plastic chamber and I notice that 
the entire chamber is not filing as I would expect to see. I have ordered a 
new fuel pump based on a number of observations including the fact this 
little after market has been on the car about 7 years and I have had the 
hesitation with both points and electronic and it always seams to be after a 
period of steady delivery at about 3-3200 RPM...we shall see.

Thanks for all the input,
Malcolm
