Re: Fuel issue
Thanks to all who replied. After having him disconnect the lines at the carb and at the fuel pump, and see if gas was getting thru, I had him pull the sending unit. Guess what? It was dry when it came out. So I had him put a piece of pvc that I had laying around, down the tank and low and behold that was dry too. So, I told him I thought he was out of gas. He still swore that he put gas in it, but I showed him that there was no gas on the pvc pipe. I sent him over to the gas station with a two gallon gas can, put it in the tank, and damned if the thing didn't start right up. Lol. He just bowed his head. I told him, Son, you haven't made a mistake that your daddy aint made when he was your age. Now, we learn and move on. I told him, it cost him 20 bucks for a new fuel pump and filter, but he learned a valuable lesson. We had a good laugh, he went and got gas and all is good. Thanks to all who replied and gave me good info. RR
