I can tell you a trailer with too much weight on the back is VERY
squirrelly and dangerous. In fact, if you use a regular 16-18 foot
utility trailer to haul a car, and put the car on backwards, it will be
dangerous because the front of the car weights more than the back.

The fact that the engine blew smoke sometimes but does not use oil the

Stripping. Wind proceeded to suck the heat out faster than it could
be maintained in the fuel line by the surrounding warm engine. Once
you stop, the heat warms it, decreasing viscosity enough to allow IP
to pump it/suck it to the engine. My guess, or the fuel filter could
not keep up
More likely the wax in the fuel clogging the filter. When it sat for
a few minutes, the filter would warm up enough to allow it to run for
