[Tigers] Anyone Recognition These Symptoms?

[Randall Antosiak]

It sounds familiar.  In my case, the problem turned out to be the old SU fuel pump.  If you are not sure you are getting fuel, you can install a clear plastic fuel filter near the carb.  I did this and found it very useful.

Due to travel, weather, and life in general, I haven't touched the Tiger for several weeks.  Until today. 
At first it would barely run, like it was running on two or three.  I had to keep my foot on the throttle or it would instantly die.
So I left it for 20 minutes, and tried again.  It started ok, and if I kept it at 2 - 3000 rpm all seemed fine.  But when I took my foot off the pedal, it dropped to idle, then started pulsating, like I was turning it off for an instant, once a second or so.  Finally it died.
Its a stock 260, stock 2 barrel, original points type ignition with most everything in the ignition replaced in the last couple years.  The automatic choke appears free and functioning.  Its a hot and humid day.
Anybody recognize this behavior?
It's days like this that make me start to think about Hemmings...
