I hope I am not talking out of turn but I have been out of town and just got home. I talked to Larry a couple of time and tried to help out. It turned out he had a plugged fuel line. he got out his air-compressor and blue out all the lines then filled up the filters and ran it on starting fluid until it picked up fuel, then he was off in a trail of dust. I talked to him again just after he hit the road and It was running just fine. I wish Larry a safe trip and when he comes back thru town I would like to meet him. Maybe but him dinner or something.

Hope this helps

Don

If you have never seen the black alge that can grow in fuel filters it's a sight to behold this fuel had been in tanks about 2 years as last year only to Bus for 4.5 months to Avondale AZ about 230 miles round trip for cancer radiation and the chemo treatment.
Don for your enlightment when I got off in Lodi to head to Hwy 5 it dies at stop signal drained filter the sock filter and got more junk out and restarted and ran rest of trip to Mt Shasta City and hope lovelife got a shot in arm also. Will chat more tomorrow all day.
