  • God has finally taken pity on me!

    Since the beginning of winter, I've been having trouble with my t/a stalling. When i arrive at the corner stop sign and then pull out into the intersection my t/a would stall. It felt almost like a vacuum leak, but i took the carb out and had it examined. THERE WERE TWIGS AND LEAVES IN IT!?! The previous owner let the t/a sit in his backyard for a year, and left the air cleaner off it at times. it must have pulled in some debris. The guy that examined carb, also adjusted it to its original settings. I reinstalled the carb and the car now runs!

    Makes me wonder what made it's way into the engine. Seriously.... not a good thing. Good that it runs, but internal contamination would have me paranoid.
