Strange idle problem fixed.

[Stuart Thomson <stuart.thomson@domain.elided>]

Hi all,

I posted yesterday about a strange idle problem with the 1750 GT Junior. 
I got one response, checked the idle jets were screwed in tight.  They 
were, car still felt like it was flooding.  Whilst I was mucking about 
with the car, had it running, and noticed fuel dripping from the 
mounting plate (the car has air horns).  I think I found the problem!!

At the last race meeting last year the fuel filter blocked (actually on 
the way there), I had just fitted a new fuel pump, so I must have 
disturbed a whole lot of crap, which blocked the filter.  Pulled old 
filter and discarded, drove a short distance to a petrol station and 
bought a generic filter, plumbed it in place.  In doing so I have taked 
the fuel pressure regulator out of the system.  Obviously my float 
valves leak!!

Replumbed the pressure regulator in line with the filter, hey presto, 
car idles fine now.  Now I can put those big jets back in  :-)

Cheers
Stuart Thomson
