[urq] Stumbling

[spot.ontheroad]

I had a similar thing a while back and it was goo in the fuel tank (water
emulsion) blocking the outlet from the tank (the gauze bag type strainer on
the outlet pipe inside) slowing fuel to the pump, pump was struggling and
mixture going lean, The stumble was intermittent, rapid (i.e. just like a
miss) and gradually got worse. I disconnected pipe to sediment trap
(upstream of the pump) and no fuel came out! Anyway, blew compressed air in
to tank and then drained it. No problems since. At least not that problem!
I think I've used my quota of brackets there so I'll stop.
Hope this helps.
