Nice to hear Terry getting some well deserved accolades Cheers Mick ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Andrews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 3:36 PM Subject: RE: Wierd and annoying ignition breakdown
Guys, Well I was driving over to the gf's place last night (I haven't taken it on a major uphill trip since it started) with the supercharger on. And it did the wierdo thing again.. which turns out to be not so weird after all. It seems Terry's middle name is `Oracle'. I checked the level in the carby when it died and she was bone dry. This is in keeping with the symptoms of dying while turning right (ie fuel sloshes to the fill side of the fuel bowl). This is good. No major wiring headaches to come! Yay. And since I'm going to EFI in a month or so I've decided to just stick with it.. and borrow the flatmates care for uphill trips. :) Thanks for all your help, Dave >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 8/3/03, 12:51:34 AM, David Andrews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote regarding RE: Wierd and annoying ignition breakdown: > Terry, > Sounds like a plan.
