Do send it a bit further north, we could use a little cooling off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I am at my office in a High Rise office building in Houston, the thunder is bouncing off the buildings and the underground parking is flooding, so I'll see what happens when I go home at 4:30, my car may be flooded along with the other few hunderd that work here.

not one to let God get in my way...I went home for lunch and put some gas in it....NO LEAKS!
then I tried the new pump....no pumping was going on, I couldnt see fuel in the clear filter I installed just for this purpose. I popped up the tank and found the hose off the bottom was kinked. I re-routed it slightly and replaced it. Tried pumping again and SUCCESSS!!!!!!! Fired right up and idled beautifully! I goosed it a little and it seemed a little freer with the goosing. My question would be... does putting a regulated pump on there make any difference? It had a facet, unregulated. It was really sputtery and kinda hesitated at idle. Is this possible? By the way....knock my motorcycle exhaust...but god-damn does it sound good. I missed the sound of my red & black sex machine |

Put the top on the damn thing and drive it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Just like Texas, it will dry out.
