Thanks for the reminder, Rick. I had forgotten all about the notorious sock. Yikes!!

It's been mentioned here before.......

 

Inside the fuel tank, there is a "sock" on the end of the take-up line. Over the years it becomes clogged and can restrict fuel flow. If the fuel is sloshing around, it may cause intermittent restrictions on the fuel flow. It's not any easy task, but drop the fuel tank, remove the sending unit and pull the "sock" off. Don't worry about replacing it, just put an in-line filter between the tank and the fuel pump.

 

Good luck!
