I wrote a few weeks back on my Tiger that was acting up. I think we all
realized that it had to be either ignition or fuel. Since I have a Petronix
ignition I called them. I was told that normally I wouldn't get the symptoms
that I described with a bad Petronix....sometimes working and other times not.
I was told that the igniter either worked or it didn't. If the coil was
weak, it could act up when warm, but that I should be able to recreate that
symptom just by idling the car for 1/2 hour or so. It idled with no problems
so,
based on what Petronix tech told me, I assumed it was fuel as some listers had
suggested.
I finally had time today to get it on the lift and for the first time I
found flakes in the transparent fuel filter that I have between the tanks and
the pump. So, I am going under the assumption that this was causing the
problem.
Now the questions are: in little ole Vermont there won't be the choices of
shops to fool with tanks like there is on the left coast. Would a radiator
shop be someone to visit if I can't find a tank shop?
Next, after the interior is cleaned should it be coated with something or
left bare? If coated...use what?
Anything else needed with the tanks? Should the metal 1 1/2" crossover
lines also be cleaned and coated with the tanks?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
