masterrig 1 #30 December 6, 2007 Quote Quote Quote Quote Perhaps she could work on a litle alternator with the neighbor lady. She should rebuild the top end I wonder what would happen if you put a strong additive into the fuel system. Depends on what type of additive... I understand, there is one that comes in a blue, tablet form. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richards 0 #35 December 6, 2007 Quote Quote Well, for one-she was getting carburetion advice whe it seems she was having an injection problem I'm really not much of a mechanic so I obviously missed that point. I guess if I knew more about cars I could understand why everyone seems to feel he gave bad advice. Oh well. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
