Back On The Road

Sunday, Tom spent the afternoon putting my front suspension back together. He also hooked up the new gas tank, adjusted the fuel pump (that was making a knocking noise), replaced the wiper motor (now it will actually park correctly), adjusted the brakes, pulled off the bottom engine shrouds and thermostats, and tightened the loose fuel fittings. On the test drive the engine died at the bottom of the hill. Thinking he hadn’t put enough gas in the tank for the pickup, he hiked back to the house and drove his car down with more gas in the can. Another 2+ gallons and my engine still wasn’t getting gas. After another trip home for a replacement fuel pump that he installed and all’s great. I cruise along smoothly and brake straight with no more clunking or pulling.
