<VV> 110 PG with rough idle and wanting to stall at stops

[Stephen Upham]

   The filter has about 7000 miles on it.  It was the one installed  
during the first rebuild.  I got another filter with the new fuel  
pump that I installed last fall, but it was smaller in diameter, so I  
decided to keep the one that was already attached to the line.  The  
tank is a new Clark's ultimate (again, 7000 miles) that has Redcote  
on the interior.   No removal of sender since the installation of the  
new tank.   The sour gas would have manifested itself this spring  
after getting the wiring harness back in.  It has had at least seven  
to eight fill-ups with good ole 93 octane (good)  / 10% ethanol (not  
so good, but tolerable) since then.
