Was plagued with the same problem for years. Everytime it
stalled, I'd remove the filter, blow out the rust, refit it,
blow some air into the gas tank (by mouth!), to refill the
filter and we'd be off.
I always suspected the rust clogging the filter, but no...
The last time it happened, and I had the filter pulled off,
a friend noticed the rubber hose connecting the front filter
to the fuel tank line was split. New hose and no more
problems.
Seems the fuel pump could suck air - sometimes - causing
stalling.
Cheers, Fred
