[FC] ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE

[Merv Krull and or Loretta Prosser]

I checked Tim and Clark's answers first... with the bad smell happening I 
would lean toward a lean condition. My guess is bits of rust from the tank 
or anywhere along the system. Check the filters and look for what looks like 
pepper....?????
