Fixed problems 1, 2 & 3 (heater valve, dizzy cap, lost clip)

And by providence of Morris' Laws of Probability, allow me to introduce Problem #4.

She won't stay running. Not for a second. Carb is flooding constantly.

And on top of that, they wanted $1.75 for a cucumber. I needed 4 for the salad tomorrow. So I spent $3 in gas, took the Solara 15 miles one way to pay 99c for a cucumber. Do the math, spent $3 to save $3. But I feel okay about that.

What I don't feel okay about is the fact that my son's Midget is in Emma's spot in the garage with the front wheels off. I'm charging him hourly garage space because hellerhigh water I'm taking Emma out on Christmas Eve.

Did I mention it's 60 degrees and sunny here today? GRRRR.

I should have known after last night, and after the coffeepot brewed 12 cups ALL over my countertop at 6:30 this morning that it was going to be one of those weeks.

I feel better now.

12 does not go into 10

Should have asked us first Janel. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif

Gotta love starting fluid.

Fired right up. Temporary fix, but will get me to the outlaws and back on Christmas Eve.
 
Exactly how many towels does it take to absorb 12 cups? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
 
3 bath towels.

Sounds as though you may have a sticky float, Janel, if it's flooding.
Rap on the carb with the coffee pot, and see if that helps.

But, a properly setup ZS does not suck - just ask Naomi!
 
Where the heck is that girl? I haven't seen any posts from her in a bit.

If I could just figure out how to use the starting fluid AND start the car at the same time, I'd be okay for the next couple days or until I get my SUs in.
