I replaced the ICM and Ignition coil today. It still runs a little and stumbles off after 2 mins. I noticed fuel leaking on the leftist of the carburetor. Approximately 10mL. Im stumped

Fix your fuel leak and make sure your carb base is sealed to the manifold

Could have saved $20 on a 11/2" socket, my Husky 1/2" drive ratchet and 1/2" drive breaker bar by using one of the 2 grinders I bought yesterday, wound up using the one with the 1/8" cutting disc on it. Still got the deck unhinged, moved and ready for the cut down.

I know my dents aren't in this picture. But just wanted to show just how much snow we've gotten over night. My pickup in the pic. is a 2011 F150, and was parked at about 8:45 last night. If you notice you can't even see the rear window.

Snow sucks. No snow here but the wind has blown 20-25 for 2 days now w/gusts up to 40. Tattered my flag and wadded it around the flag pole. Acted like a parachute and broke my flag pole off last night.

The thing is this is the first real measureable amount of snow that we've seen so far this season. It's about time. Can't wait to see how the wife's Lincoln handles the snow. It's AWD and she got it just before Christmas. It was her early Christmas present.

I measured an untouched part of my retaining wall about an hour ago when I cleaned off my steps and the wife's car. And it measures then at 9 1/2". Not bad for less than 20 hours snow fall. And it's still falling.

Not my usual lurking forum, but in north central MD we're up to 26 inches, not much more snow coming, but about 20 miles away there's 30+

Living where it normally snows must be fun..... NOT!

I consider snow and ice a significant inconvenience to modern day living. Your opinion will likely vary.

Into each life a little rain must fall.

Glad our rain is light and fluffy and at times it's down right enjoyable

Oh yeah I did enjoy driving in it this time. I just wish I had both of my 78's and my 86 on the road. Now you can have some real fun in those rigs. This new truck has way too many "Nanny" features to have any real fun. But I still like the truck and had some fun with it until the nanny took over.
