Default Re: The saga continues - Sputtering, loss of power when accelerating

So, I've finally had a chance to crawl underneath it (we've been moving..... No doubt it would've gone faster had the truck not been out of action) and there doesn't appear to be another inline filter anywhere between the tank and the one that's just before the carb.

There is an electric fuel pump. So, do we think there's any harm in disconnecting the battery and having a tinker to see if there's any scrud in the pump itself?

The only reason I ask is I've only ever done this kind of thing on a mechanical pump. Not sure if there's anything special I need to consider with an electric one (and the Google isn't helping much, because most of what I'm finding relates to fuel injectors etc....)
