My 85 300D was found sitting in a field.I will rebuild it this spring and summer but I want to solve the bugs first.
It has very bad low end acceleration, but great full power acceleration. Believe it or not (it may be my imagination) part of the low end severe sluggishness went way when I stuck on the missing Exhaust system,someone had cut off the old one 1/2 way down the header.(I also replace both fuel filters)
Before I start breaking down the Fuel System, someone suggested checkingthe Tank Filter. Apparently it gets clogged with algae at times.
Is this true?Does the Tank Filter get clogged (235K) Is it worthwile draining the tank and removing to clean it?
