Ok after bumch of BS about not working on car unless broken.
This time it did bite me in ass. I went and put larger fuel line on car after suggestion for fairly smart guy on MFI. Not Suggester but the exicution of it here. Seems new line is sucking shut between pump and main line. The dumb part is i thought about getting spring for line that prevent such crap. Be it cheap line or DA not going with installing spring. Both will be corrected as soon as ups arrives monday.

So. Ok this time you lazy chai sitters get the win. Not saying I will not be working on car non stop, just saying you won this round and I am buying back,Literally.LOL

Above/below is some clarification!

I put in a lot of work/preventive maintenance at the shop. I only work on the race vehicle at the track when I have too; I choose to focus on winning rounds, not making busy work. Wink

Us chair/bracket racers aren't trying to get a win with YOU; we're trying to help YOU!

2BKING could be a lot blunter about the subject, not that it would help.

Thats why I posted the comment you right this time. Admittedly did so as joking example.

A up grade recommended by respected industry professional in field had recommended. Not that its hisn suggestion but rqather then exicution of it. Which was done in interest of beter working combo which in turn would be more consistent. Hey I fixed flooding the ozone with unburnt alcohol from three outtings back.

I can remember the days of enthusiastically diving on the race car after every run, and trying to set a new best ET every run, being happy after a break-out loss, because we just went .02 quicker than ever......

I'm much less energetic these days.
I've been finding old time slips from 25 years ago that look just like the ones I got last week. Laughing Hard
