Plugged fuel filter

You need to first eliminate the possibility of the problem being related to ignition. Then move to the fuel system but only after you ensure a good state of tune and mechanical soundness.

have you seen those glass fuel filters? i have one on there but it was there when i bought the car. and its on backwards, the in nearest the carb and the out nearest the fuel pump. could this be restricting fuel at all?
