-he says to me" well it ran the other rig back THEN" !

I have a poor sense of smell, and also figured that since he had JUST installed the tank prior to hand-over, it would have been clean... Or at least empty !


When I pulled the injector the other day, thought it looked a bit varnish-y, but after removing the FPR, it was almost that golden color, rather than on the clear side...and no filter means it was getting into injector. Looks like there might be water as well, when I look down at the throttle plate.

epic.
Just looking to get it to drive so I can enjoy it a bit...

Can't thank you enough for your kindness; w/o finding your page and then subsequently finding this forum, I would have had to start from scratch...instead, I was spoon-fed!

To all viewing this, the lesson is:

always start w/the basics and troubleshoot your way through.

In my case, I could have moved a wire and cleaned my tank a month ago...but I had to go through a process to get here.

Knowing what it was not, led me to what it was.

You CAN do it.

Whether it's installing your clutch or making it run right, if you follow the steps, you will get 'r done.

Of course, having a guy like Mr. Jerry around don't hurt either...

Warm regards.
