Re: rough running and gas

Joe, Check the connector on the intertia switch which controls the 
fuel pump being on or off, You may find that if the connection isn't 
solid, and due to the amount of heat generated, the plastic connector 
will melt and cause the contacts not to touch, thus you loose contact 
for a second and get that jerking. The RPM relay may cause the same 
intermit problem, but not likly. RPM Relay's need to have the 
contacts cleaned ever so often and you may want to consider using an 
extension on # 7 fuse to avoid meltdown. The fuel pump which is 
turned on by the rpm relay goes thru #7 fuse.
