Sounds like fuel pump on it’s way
out. Bob Kinker From: mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[mailto:mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On
Behalf Of Jim Poltrock Hi all- My ’55 sedan just started hesitating
while at cruising speed. It is acting as though it is momentarily starved
for gas, then it runs fine, then starved again. If I take my foot off the
accelerator pedal and get back on it runs fine again for a bit before it
hesitates again. Since I got her back on the road last fall
she has run like a top. It still starts and idles fine- no problems
there. And the only time it hesitates is when she is warm and running
down the road. I installed a new fuel filter and put a can of Seafoam in
the tank (always filled w/93 octane). It has been warm here lately and I
wonder if that has anything to do with it. The carb was rebuilt last year
and, like I said, she has run fine up until now. I still have the stone
filter inline (for looks as the Wix pre-filters for it). The clear bowl
is only about 20% full while idling and the stone looks clean. Any suggestions or input? I have
really been enjoying driving the old girl lately (gas prices be damned) and
look forward to solving this riddle ASAP. Thanks in advance for any
help/direction on this. Jim Poltrock ’55 sedan Wisteria blue/rhapsody in blue 41k miles |
