    Battery light flashes; batteries seem fine

    Nice tip about the loose connector. Mine does that and I'll check it out tomorrow. I unhooked all the battery connections and cleaned them all up and put them back together and it still does it, so I'll try the connector. Paul

    Random fuel leaks...yay

    I sprung a leak the other day and it wasn't the injectors or the return lines either. I did see fuel leaking down onto the exhaust pipe behind the engine. I need to spend some more time looking around to see what happened. Paul B
