Annoying intermittant power loss

Matt, I have personal experience with this. I too have a '87 accord that is carbureated.. I began intermittantly losing power. I initially replaced the fuel filter. It did not seem to make a difference. the problem got worse, especially at times of high fuel demand, such as when climbing a big hill. I looked on google groups for an answer. I found a posting that said that the 87 Accord was one model that had had some corrosion issues with the fuel filler hose that would clog the screen on the fuel pump pickup line. I bought a new pump, and screen (about $65). It completely resolved my problem. The pump is very easy to replace. there is a access hole behind the drivers side rear seat. lower the rear seat, and you will see it in the floor of the trunk.. hope this helps. Mike

I guess it's easy enough to give that a look, but I still doubt it's a fuel issue.
