Guess how many fuel filters in all my car had?

[Zendalar]

Previous owner of the car was a moron.
My car had originally fuel injection and it was replaced with webers, and while I have had it, it has never run very well.

So basically there were seven, yes 7 (!) filters along the cars fuel lines:

One in the tank (the net),
Fuel injection filter after the tank (aluminium),
2 plastic filters before the fuel pump,
one after it,
and 2 in the engine compartment, one for each carburetor banks

No wonder the car did not get enough juice...Talk about stupidity...

Yeah but I'll bet those carbs are still shiny inside. Kinda like using Perrier in your coffee machine!

Zendelar, you also may have one additional filter element if you have a Bosch fuel pump that goes with the carb. setup...... and that is a porous filter element in the bottom of the fuel pump housing, which can get clogged and cause poor fuel flow.

Hah! Nope, I had to clean the carbs twice to get them clean, since the car had been standing 3 years the goo (gasoline) had gone bad inside and it/water had cause lotsa corrosion...wish they were clean...

Hello

A know a guy who runs tree large metall housing filters in his race car. Just to have a bit more capacity to have enough in the final rounds.
