After I got my axel boot debacle settled I decided I should change my grungy clear fuel filter and spin on filter. Wow, what an improvement. Usually I recall clogged filters limiting my top end power.

But I had plenty of power at speed. The issue was I had low stumbling power off the line. Well, I’ve heard it mentioned here many times that clogged filters can hurt tip in acceleration if the fuel pump is tired. That is probably my case.

I’ll need to look into rebuilding my lift pump at some point.
