I got the carb on today...and it's got power again. left some nice posi marks in front of NAPA. I checked out the old carb, looks like the dead spot off idle was the accelerator pump not functioning...and I tested that thing before I put it on. I might have a dieing fuel pump though, we'll see come tomorrow morning.

Just follow close to me and put your radio on 102.7 that is what frequency my Sirius broadcasts at. I'll have on Hard Attack.

OK, here is what you all wanted to see. I made it almost all the way into the springs with only a little drag mark on the rear valance, and the taillight...and then Big Sluice kicked my ass coming out...

You did a really good job getting through all the bad stuff including million dollar hill. That one you walked right up the off camber part we just wouldn't even think of doing.

I'm good either way...I had heavy jumper cables and 6011 to spare, not to mention a hood and gloves. I was fully prepared to break my junk.
