I experienced today while driving the motor began to sputter ,loss of power and would not want to accelerate.
It lasted for a short time (5 minutes), i rev the motor several times and then I turned it off. restarted motor and rev the motor and all is well. I was able to drive the car home without any problems. Any thoughts on where to start my investigation?

update:
i have a universal 12v micro electric fuel pump 2-3.5 psi installed it last year (carbole brand type). it has micro filter. i also, have a filter just before the carbs.
reviewing the engine i found a brown wire coming from the alternator harness with an exposed end ( the tape wrap was coming off) touching the oil cooler adapter line.fixed that maybe that caused the problem. will see.
first chance i get i'll flush the fuel lines.
update 2: found the problem clogged fuel filter at the tank before pump. 5 years ago i used an epoxy coating sold by a harley dealer, come to find out it's a temp fix the coating breaks down and comes off in sheets!
having tank striped and refinished at a tank restoration service.
