Arrrrrrrgh! Welcome back to carb'd trucks

Damn....the stoopid truck wont start. Turns over fine, plenty of fuel...hell its even got ether in the carb. Not even a hint of starting. I am pretty well pissed at this point. Kendall told me the dist and everything in that area is new. Hell...I dunno.

Sorry.....just wanted to rant.

Don't you remember that happening before on OK roads Dave? 82BlackBeast had that happen to him while we were on our way to take pics at the park. Him and Low84 went off roading in the lowered truck.

Re: Arrrrrrrgh! Welcome back to carb'd trucks

So, like everyone else, first thing you did was to think it was the carb. Believe it or not, most of the time it's not the carb.

Welcome back to our world. Looks like you have a very nice start to a very nice ride.
