dear brion
 thanks for the info -i will watch this more carefully over the coming
months and may even change out all of the fuel lines just to be sure
the next investment will be a fuel pump primer bulb similar to what is put
on marine applications in case i have a failure on the road and need to
prime engine and get rid of air

Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
