Hi everyone - removed the inline filter - it's black plastic so you couldn't see inside but when I removed it - oh brother... so no wonder it's been having difficulty. I performed an autopsy on the filter with a hacksaw - and wow.... So I'm going to go through the truck end to end. I replaced the filter and flexible lines - and the fuel coming through now seems pretty good - removed the oil bath filament and have cleaned it and will replace the oil - and have removed the plugs. They're a bit Keith Richard - old and coked up. So I'm now in the process of knocking over each possible problematic problem one after the other. New plugs, leads, coil, condenser and so forth. So - the truck has been an older restoration - and since I've had it it's been in storage pretty much - and it would run like a sewing machine when I give it a short run - but short runs aren't what it needs - and sitting around obviously hasn't been great but I'm determined now it'll be crackerjack.
