I like the plot and story line. Is “Bulldozer Impossible “ the title of the novel?

Best regards, Bruce

Sounds like a very productive trip. Would you tell me more about your new wiring harness. I have a short in my harness and would be interested in a source for a replacement.

Well, I know of one in SW Illinois. Schaefer Enterprises of Wolf Lake. AKA - SEWL. Best I can do.

You will need to remove the two bolts holding the floor board, then the floor board itself...

If the vent is plugged, when you open the fuel cap, sometimes there is a sucking vacuum for a second. Some will leave the cap loose to vent and finish working until they can get to the shop and properly open the vent. In a sense you have relieved the fuel starvation.
