Well @Nero walked on over on Monday, guess I got the timing right after all. Seems to be bad injectors. As I replaced them with new onesust of been a bad one or two or 3 in the bunch. He's gunna try and get a set that he's has rebuilt so I can buy them off of him. So I guess gotta wait a few more weeks.

So this showed up in my driveway.
Had to go meet him halfway there, and push him the rest of the way with my samurai.
I'll tear into it this weekend. He tried to drive er over, but stalled out in gear she barely runs.

Gonna toss in stock injectors rebuilt by Justin.

I'll follow up later.

Does anyone hear the Cheers theme cranking up?

So this truck's name is going to be "Norm" in memory?
No way, @Nero s truck is the fat one, I lean more towards the post office guy, unless there was maybe a "bum" type guy that I can't remember. Certainly not Frazier, not clean enough. But (and I know it's not a character from Cheers) because it has a really "common" look being a single cab, 2 tone blue, lots of great surface rust, what I hear is "hi, I'm Darrell....this is my brother Darrell and my other brother Darrell......" If that makes sense. Newhart, that was it.

Edit: I think Nero's camper stabilizers are making permanent indentions in the ground......( the post office guy made that observation about Norm's stool in one episode)

Oh c'mon, his name is Cliff Clavin and his pearls of wisdom are timeless.

It makes sense to me. I remember seeing it one time. I wasn't the biggest Newhart fan. I did think it went "I'm Larry, this is my brother Darrell, this is my other brother Darrell".

I've read enough editions of "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" that I'm afraid I've taken up a lot of useful space with nonsense and BS, but ya' gotta' do something while you're sittin' there.

I'm glad this thread is titled "I could use some ideas",

I'm a bathroom book reader myself. Mostly history, but whatever ends up in there. Currently reading Robert Frost poetry...... two paths diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference....

Fixed it.

Check ball at injection pump kept clogging up. So I took it out. Runs just fine now. I actually drove it back to his house and left it.
