Thanks! It's a blast to drive - I just need to be more confident about the work I did to it. I installed the engine and tuned it. When it failed, everything I could have possibly done wrong went through my head. Turns out it wasn't something I did - it was something I didn't do (replace the fuel filter). Once I get the fridge back in I'm going to venture out again.
any way Jim good luck on putting that BIG TOE out there. i have the same fears after she has sat for couple months. there old and cranky and seriously moody until she gets loosened up and then she takes off and let the good times roll. later!!!!!!!
Yeah my mind went right to the fuel pump. Everything else was new (including the carb, which I also suspected0 - but I forgot about that filter. Being stuck in the middle of the road in the behemoth has made me a bit gun shy. I made the trip I had intended to make after I repaired it, but it's only a few miles. I need to venture out a bit further to gain some confidence.
its funny how we over think the smallest things. i immediately go to the worst case scenario, or the most expensive scenario.i have a hand painted sign that says KISS. stands for KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. helps me to start with the obvious. long time ago i would have put in new fuel pump, fuel regulator, new filters, new hoses and fittings, and eventually new carb, and would contemplate converting to propane or rocket fuel. since i'm not divorced, her sign worked. auto stores saw me coming they say cha-ching, cha-ching, hes got another project. anyway glad that it was only a fuel filter and you got a spare. excellent
