Fuel Pump

[Dave64 <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been having trouble with my poly running rough at idle.  At higher RPMs it's been running just fine, though.  After looking at the plugs and other basics, I replaced the fuel filter - just in case a chunk of crud got caught in it.  I put a see-thru filter on it this time, and it ran really fine until I got it up to temperaure.  Then the intermittent missing came back.  This time I'm getting more of a bog at speed with harder acceleration, but better running at low end rpms.  While undr the hood, I noticed that at times fuel seems to be just trickling into the filter - to the point of the filter having just a bit in it below the element.  Other times the level of fuel is over the top of the element - which looks more like it should.  So I'm thinking the electric fuel pump may be starting to take a dump on me.  This got me thinking - if I do end up having to replace it, why not put a mechanical pump back on?  I'm interested in the group's opinions on mechanical vs electric fuel pumps on a stock Poly.  By the way, I haven't eliminated the coil as the possible culpret to my problems, either, but the fuel flow running through the filter doesn't look adequate to me regardless.

 

Thanks,
