'87 Clipper 1.8 Carb: The splutter is back...
I have a 1987 Clipper 1.8 Carb and about 18 months ago I had a issue with the car spluttering and then cutting out on longer journeys. I had a load of rust in the tank and fuel filler pipe, so I had those replaced and the carb serviced. Fixed the problem.
Now its back
I have checked the fuel filter and thats clean and I had the carb serviced by my local garage on Tuesday. But it splutterd and cut out this morning on way to work. I left it for 5 mins and then it started and drove fine.
Any ideas…..?

I had a look in the tank today, through the fuel sender unit under the rear seat; there is quite s lot of very small sand size particles in there, I went fishing with s magnet on a chain and cleared fair amount out. There is a filter on the unit that sucks from the tank, this has very small holes in it and looked like some were blocked. I did consider taking it off, but I guess that will just move the problem up into the in line filter under the bonnet. I will see how it drives over the next couple of days!
