filter or fuelpump.

could also be debris in your tank being forced against the outlet.

I thought I posted this question yesterday but didn't find it.
When I am on an onramp, I occasionally seem to fuel starve about the time I need to be accelerating. Has anyone else felt the same adrenaline rush heading into traffic without the benefit of available horsepower?

Maybe it's the g's that you're pulling?!?! I know that the Ferrari Dino is notorious for it...wait, they had heaps of carbs...sorry can't help!

I don't know if the fuel pump is original. Is the screen accesible to clean out once the fuel pump is out? I thought I'd start with the fuel filter first as a part of routine maintenance. Then I would look for junk in the bottom of the tank. Sounds like I'm on the right track from the feedback.
