Default The last straw

Funny you should ask ... I are one (small engines to heavy equipment,
including diesels), but I've not been able to keep up with these
computerized injection systems due to working other jobs and because I
didn't go to one of the diploma mills like WyoTech (my middle son went toWyo
@ Laramie and was constantly calling home to learn how to do things his
"instructor" couldn't do)... and I am 68 years old, you see.

Oh, and being on fixed income I can't afford the $100+ /hour diagnostic fees
IF they have the right scanner (currently $1500+ US to buy if they can find
one) for an OBD1 (no retained codes) system.

The symptoms, if it a carbureted engine, are like gasoline contaminated with
water but the first thing I did was put in two cans of HEET (alcohol) at a
fill up from a trusted station (where I've got my gas for years) so water
isn't likely and a settling test (a small amount pumped into a glass
container by the fuel pump and set aside for an hour) shows no water or
foriegn material.

Tolerance cannot be legislated, demanded
or coerced.

It must be given freely and unconditionally.
