[TR] [6pack] Proper level in TR6 fuel filter

[Kinderlehrer]

Joe, I would think a partially obstructed fuel filter would result in a
hesitation when you punched it and would probably run smooth at constant
RPM.B  You symtoms soundB very similar to what I was experiencing each time
the Petronix started to give out. It certainly wouldn't hurt to replace t he
filter element, but, if that fails, try putting some points in and see what
happens.

Actually, that's exactly my concern. B Some details: B 
B 
All of a sudden my car
is taking a LONG time to fire when starting cold. B It used to start right
up as soon as I touched the key. B I'm giving it choke as usual, but it seems
like it's not getting enough fuel. B Once warm, the idle is ok - but there's a
persistent stumble happening at around 2200 RPM while under way. B It seems to
be skipping, and the throttle feels 'squishy' - like it's not all there under
foot. B When you punch it or run at a high speed however - it's ok. B 
B 
Running
with high-torque starter and a Pertronix ignition and coil. B The fuel pump
was
replaced two seasons ago. B  B
