[Tigers] Fuel Pressure Too Low?

[FHSLOTH13 at aol.com]

How about the fuel filter?
 
If the pump is reading a strong pressure maybe the fuel filter is clogged  
enough to cause this problem.
 
Easy enough to change the filter.

Jim,
Had similar symptoms on the first Tiger I bought (probably  reason the PO
sold the car). Turned out to be the fuel tank lining peeling  off and
plugging up the crossover center outlet. Got tanks boiled out and  recoated
and no problems since.

The SU diaphragm pumps never  generate more than 2 to 3 psi, so your 
readings
are correct. The stock pump  is adequate for normal driving and sub-200 HP
engines.

Hi Listers,

Recently, I have been experiencing  some engine stumbling/hesitation after I
have driven for 30-40 minutes. It  felt as if the engine was starved for
fuel.
I checked the accelerator  pump and power valve, ruled them out and then
figured it might be the fuel  pump.
