I just took my Healey out for a drive on a spectacular day.  All was going =
very well for most of the drive when it suddenly started to sputter and los=
e power. I haven=92t started to diagnose yet so I just would like some thou=
ghts as to what may be the cause. The engine was completely rebuilt about 2=
0,000 mils ago and has was running beautifully until the float to jet pipe =
on the rear carburator sprung a leak.  I changed the jets on both carbs but=
 haven=92t been thrilled with the performance ever since.  Although it has =
been satisfactory just not as good as before. The only thing I have checked=
 so far was the oil in the carburetor, which was OK  I did notice quite a b=
it of dirt in the fuel filter. I suspect that could be at least part of the=
 problem if not the whole problem. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank
