I had a problem like that with my 31 coupe. I finally was able to see (with a flashlite) something floating in my gas tank. I got a coat hanger and fished out what looked like a piece of burlap. It was about the size of a silver dollar. It just drifted around and would settle ever so often over the feed to the sediment bowl. I remember being so mad that day. She had sputtered out on me twice. When I got that piece out of the tank I stopped on it all the way home. I was flying !!! Probably hit 37 0r maybe even 40.
