[Farmall] Slow throttle response on F-14

[szabelsk at gdls.com]

Terry,

If the filter is only filled up half way you may be restricting the flow of
the fuel. This would probably depend on the relative position of the inlet
to the outlet tubes. Try  removing the air from the filter and see if it
makes a difference. I'm guessing that you have an in-line filter with tubes
on opposite ends of the filter. Disconnect the outlet tube and hold it so
that it is in an upward position and fuel fills the filter.

I've noticed that the throttle response on my F-14 is not as fast as it
used to be.  It never was instantaneous, but now there is a 2 to 3
second delay between pulling the throttle lever back and the RPM's
coming up.  I had a problem with crud in the fuel tank but thought I had
that cleaned up.  I put a clear plastic fuel filter just before the
carburetor and notice that it only fills half way up.  It also doesn't
seem to have as much power as it used to.  I've cleaned out everything
up to the fuel pump, but am wondering is there is some other areas I
need to attend to.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
Terry
