I run a mechanical pump and mine with new hoses and tight fittings is at least 1/4 full at idle. 

 

The more important indicator is how fuel is entering the filter... Weak stream? Strong surging? Bubbles in the fuel at all? Any bubbles indicate air being drawn into the fuel line between tank and filter.... That would need to be found and solved.

This happened to me...random sputtering then just stopped...then suddenly started again.  I had a bad accelerator pump leak on my carb...seemed to fix the problem.

Check carb to intake manifold seal for vacuum leak.

Was that a new part or can I fix?

Just had news seals installed 1500 miles ago.

Just curious, but exactly what carb do you have on your car?

I know it's late now, and the help wouldn't be until Monday morning, but I've got a contact down there that could probably point you in the right direction for a shop- he's my inside sales guy at Ohlins...

 

I'll try to keep an eye here, but ping me if you get to Sunday evening / Monday morning and are still stuck...  dave@stmsuspension or 970.222.9597

Thanks I left it at asheville import cars. Fingers crossed.

From the pics you texted me, that shop needs to change the plug wires and sort out your ignition circuit. I suspect your carb/fuel issues are ignition-related...as the saying goes.

So let me get straight; you break down within miles from the " " largest BMW vintage vehicle GTG on the east coast that does have parts swap vendors, you have to leave your car at a shop and the only help you can get is virtual. I find that disgraceful as a "community of enthusiasts"

Why log onto a forum when you can chat in person with the people you usually banter with online?

Most people probably won't even be checking the FAQ till they're back because the forums are face to face conversations, and the classifieds are now bins and tables of parts.

No disgrace here.
