Re: Engine staggers when given throttle

I went through this mess last year and it took a while to figure it all out. I replaced a LOT of stuff and what solved it in the end was removing the second fuel filter down on the frame rail just before the manuel fuel pump. Apparently those pumps are ment to push and not pull to the filter was blocking the flow of gas. I still have a good filter up by the carb. I have a new gas tank and new fuel lines so I am fine with one filter. I am going to upgrade to a better fuel pump later on sometime as my stock ones performance is probably borderline for my engine.
