Talking you were right Carl

When in trouble , when in doubt, grab the fuel filter and rip it out !!!!!! Made a new car of mine and have at least two new ones on hand at all times. just because its new dont mean that gas can go through. thanks to all that finally convinced me of that.

I guess I might do this on my car. It feels like it has nice power on small courses, but on the roda you notice how painfully long it take to get to 50

Yes Carl, If you have a clear plastic shell wear it with pride ! 3.50 bucks got the filter and made a new car for me, I apparently immediately picked up a slug in the last new metal one and couldnt see or believe. Carl has saved our bacon so many times in the past ,maybe at some time we should have him bronzed and put in the park . No pigeon thoughts please !!!!!! Thank you Carl.
