Sluggish engine, no va va vroom!

Post by Oldiebut goodie »

Engine had been getting very sluggish over the past couple of weeks, today got down to tracking the problem. It was the fuel filter, upended it after removal and there was a little water and a few large pieces of debris. Replaced it and all good again. I am going to open it up to see how clogged it was later. Surprising how much difference it made. I thought that it was a blocked injector to begin with so am relieved.
