    She's running good, diligence paid off. Glad I did not give in to heavy explosives that crossed my mind a few times.

    I agree, of course hauling a deer home would have been good too.

    Well don't leave us (me :D) hanging man, what was it?!
    I need to get my paws on some Red Elm too :yes:.
    I should have went back and checked out the one I smeared down on Rt 13 after Walts GTG...might have been able to get some straps out of it anyways...never know now, didn't go back.

    Great that she is still working hard for you and you were persistent in fixing her up. Nice looking score and great weather for it.

    Final issue that had me stumped ended up being the connector that plugs into the top of the in tank pump had come loose enough that the in tank pump was not working. It had me baffled because it would start and run for a few minutes and then shut off. I kept looking for something that was causing the fuel system to shut down. It seems the high pressure pump on the frame rail was pulling enough of a siphon to start it but then it would lose prime without the other pump pushing it.
