Fuel Filter Saga continued
So a "quick" overhaul of the fuel meter ensued. The cover was removed and all the gas was emptied. Everything was blasted with air to try and clean everything. The canister was flushed and blown out with air. A new Float needle was installed as well as a new (used) main diaphram and gaskets. After this the car started up but was hesitating. The mechanic said it would take the new diaphram a while to "break in". By the time I got home, it was running like normal. I will keep a close eye on it
