I just installed a new SU HIF44, on an alloy manifold from SU Midel in
Australia, on my 1275 Bugeye. I couldn't get it to run well, it felt weak on
acceleration, like a vacuum leak, or fuel starvation.
After trying new filters, with no change, I pulled the gastank.
Inside the tank, I found a rag, about 12"x18". Maybe this was clogging the
pickup?
While the tank is out, is there any way to change the filter on the fuel pickup?
In high schooI I thought 5 lbs of sugar was the ticket for screwing up
somebody's gastank, has anyone heard of this rag-trick before?
