Okay, as you all know, Christine...aka Resses Cup, friend of Buttercup, left my ass stranded in Tennessee tonight in the middle of no where and all I could hear was banjo Music! I was heading back to Memphis from Nashvile, had just run the hell out of some sweet twisties, I pull into the gas station to wash my windshied. I shut her off, did the windows, get in, fire her up, and before I can put her in gear she quits! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Fuel pump is working, motor spins good but no starting, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Mess with it awhile, checking things over and soon I have it where the fuel pump no longer kicks in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) I relax, listen to the banjo music, and finally get the pump working again. I get in, hit the key, she fires right up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Unfortunately I hear a strange noise so I shut her off. Check a few things, hit the key, fires right up again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Sadly I hear the noise again and shut her off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Do some more checking, look underneath, find nothing so I try to start her up again. FP works, bitch no starts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Repeat all the crap from the first go around with same results so I say screw it and pack up all my stuff. Hit the key and she fires right up again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I hop in, take off down the road and get less than a mile before the slut quits again in the middle of pitch darness on the side of a hill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) As I am working on her in the middle of the highway, one of the "banjo" people show up, he has apparently followed me. Very strange fellow, but that is another whole story in it self. Car runs smooth for a moment, the starts lurching and bucking and cutting out as it did before it quit. I limp it back to a station, call my friend to come get me before the Deliverance boys find me again. I leave car idling for awhile, still not running right. While I am waiting on my friend to show up, banjo boy comes back again (thought I had lost him) but fortunately he doesn't get out of his truck, and finally drives off. Friend shows up, we decide to try and limp it 12 miles back to his house. On the way back she did the same lurching and bucking as before but seemed to get better and better the farther we went. Actually was running pretty decent by the time we got back with the exception of take off and a cut out once in awhile. Thought about heading back again but decided against it. In the morning I am going to swap coil, points, and fuel filter and hope for the best. Seems electrical to me and not fuel, but going to change filter to be sure. Any other ideas, comments or suggestion? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

You're not running an AA 3 port fuel pump are you? Mine would cut out intermittently from the time I installed until I removed it two years later. Left me stranded many times.
P..S As long as you can hear the banjo you're OK. It's when the music stops that you need to worry. |

MikeCool Thanks Mike, the bar b que was awesome and meeting you was even better. Thanks for driving her while I pushed you around the parking lot to get her started. Barely made it in but at least I made it. I have covered her and she will sit alone for a few weeks for punishment. I will eventually get her going again some day. Thanks to all who offered, and provided support and information. I will let you know how it turns out when I get around to fixing her. You ALL rock! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

Hey Don,
I am suprised as hell that you did not call my brother William or me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) William had the day off. I am also suprised that you did not call us that you were here! Well anyway, you got home. Take care, John (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

90% of fuel related issues are electrical. Get it running and start wiggling everything.

Take care, John (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) I wanted to get in touch with you guys and come by your place but I don't have your number nor your address. I may have been real close to where you live. I was just out side of Springhill. Would love to see you guys on my next trip down, maybe on the way back from Hershey. Shoe |

When I see others do these video embedding, I have to confess, I better give it up for Lent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Fount it, you spelled the tag wrong. 1 instead of l ...
This is what you need to type in your post: CODE [youtube]8jSFPygl4jg[/youtube] Which will result in this display: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jSFPygl4jg (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

Thank you SirAndy.
I thought I was doing exactly as you instructed earlier and now is obvious I didn't. Cool saying about himself....duh! but you are telling me I actually did the html language right: except I used a 1(one) instead of an l (el) in the embedded code. I am going to try it and embed this forever into my old brain. Thanks again Andy. beep beep Mike now I do the corrected code here and see toy dolls dueling banjo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jSFPygl4jg It's working.

Try and grab that condenser and wiggle it. If it's loose or it doesn't shine (or the strap) it probably isn't grounded properly. I had this problem about 30miles from my house on the maiden voyage of my 914.
