[TR] Proper level in TR6 fuel filter (now running rough)

[Joe Merone]

Bob.  You have jogged my memory a bit, and you may be on to something.
 
I
accidently left the key in the 'on' postion a few weeks back for a very long
time - maybe an hour.  I have heard that this is one sure way to ruin a
Pertronix.  Maybe the coil too.  I thought that these things either worked or
they didn't.  If this is an urban myth, someone please tell me, but I think
I'm looking at swapping a couple of things out to see.  
 
Thanks,
Joe

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.  You symtoms sound very similar to
what I was experiencing each time the Petronix started to give out. It
certainly wouldn't hurt to replace the filter element, but, if that fails, try
putting some points in and see what happens.
