The other day LuLu Belle left me stranded..Horrors!! After messing with it for a few minutes I decided not to mess with it any more. I would get my buddy Tom to to pull me home( Oh! the shame!!) I went back about 5 hours later and thought what the heck let me try this one more time.... No soap!
So i popped the hood and commenced looking around, prodding if you will. I noticed that the wires leading to my IP looked funny. So, i yanked them off and looked at the connections.. two of them looked corroded. Not an uncommon occurrence, since we have plenty of H2S in the air. I then cleaned off the corrosion, and cranked her up... Lo, and behold ------ she started and ran like a top. Im thinking LuLu Belle was not running properly before due to the corrosion. Am I right or wrong? who know? I just know one thing: I need a new glow plug relay cause it doesn't stay lit but 2-3 seconds if that . And she is hard to start...... guess Ill try to see how much they go for at my local store. Yall have a great weekend!!!
