:p :p I have this nasty habbit of not giving up that easy.

This morning it started fine. Proceded to drive it around the block so to speak. Didnt make it. Pulled off into

[sounds of Halloween] bum bum bum bum...... whooooowooooooo clank clank eeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhh[/sounds of Halloween]

a cementary. The glass filter was.. DEAD!!

well actually it was just empty. I gave the hand pump CPR enough to raise one of those laying 6 feet under. Cranked and cranked and finaly got it started and drove home.

There I whaled on all the hose fittings. tightened the nipples and pipe fittings, rounded out one of the brass fittings by accident.

Tested her again and she runs fine.

Odd thing is if I use the hand pump while either engine opperating or not I will see tiny bubbles LOTS OF THEM form in the glass filter. They collect into one med. size bubble which eventually disapears.
