Overheating solution. 140-160 1974

My b20f K-Jet had been running hot for quite a while, and there was a little hesitation under acceleration. I replaced the fuel filter: no hesistation, and runs substantially cooler. Filter was full of rust.

My thought is that low fuel pressure was leaning out the engine.

I'll probably have to clean the gas tank of rust in the next few years.
