was OK,
except I noticed the idle was down 200 RPM from my normal 1000 RPM.
I think that long ago I removed the bronze filter in the Holly Double pumper.
Have been using an inline filter next to the carb. If checking all easy
fuel problems
have no sucess, then I may have to try to reach into the guts of the fuel cell
in case the fuel pickup has been disloged or something. It is buried under
foam. I have noticed that when fuel is below 1/3 tank and I make a sharp U turn
or wait on traffic on a steep downhill slope, then the Tiger misses or
completely
cuts out for a good 1/2 block in normal driving.
It would seems that the coil would give more problems during
acceleration,
but I will also swap it out. The Tack was reading steady, so I do not suspect
the MSD or the pickup.
Following is non-Tiger:
Tonight, my wife had the hood up on her Chev. Checked and alternator
was out. Just finished replacement. Tigers are a LOT easier to work on.
Had to get it done right away because my wife has to go up to NASA about
midnight
for the Shuttle landing at around 4:30 AM.
By the way, her "Snap Shot" of the Shuttle Launch wound up being
better than the NASA photos, so it was put on the KSC web site. Wound up
on front page of many newspapers. Anita, Is not a photographer for NASA.
She writes all the info associated with each photo and puts them on the
Kennedy Space Center NASA web site. Her "Hot Picks" page is used worldwide
by news orgizations to download the latest NASA photos.
