    how much fluid in filter/separator? idle problem? carb issue?

    hi I have a 91SN 351 S.O. and Im having idle issues. Sometimes it idles fine, sometimes it won't idle at all, and sometimes it will idle but stall when put into gear. It seems to runs fine any RPM above 1000. For a while I thought it was water in the gas and realized Ive never changed the fuel filter/separator. I drained it last week and the canister was FULL of gas/water. Ran it once and drained it again just now and it had over a pint of water/gas. Is this normal? I have the canister out and I am about to change the filter. Should I rebuild the carb? Thanks in advance, J.

    Did you change the filter? A partially clogged filter can do this.
