Good morning Jim, Jim and the rest of the crew!

Sure is nice out this morning. Looks like a good day to take the Mustang in for a detailing. Shucks, guess that means I have to drive it again.

Enjoy the weather while it lasts!

Unfortunately, no. But i didn't think it would. The last time it ran a few years ago it would quit after 20 minutes or so, a sign of a weak pump. So i think it needed replacing anyway, as well as the filter. I also cleaned the carb and at least it fires for a few seconds now. When i release the start switch it dies. I'll keep throwing parts at it until it runs i guess. I just need it to run so i can sell the camper.

Ignition module?

Shutting off after getting warm seems to be Ignition related

Yes. My wife's arthritis and back are getting to the point where she's not comfortable staying in a camper anymore. It's why i didn't renew the lease on my campsite. She says she would stay in it for the nationals at BIR in August, but that's it. And i can't see keeping a motorhome to use one week a year. I'll try to sell it on my own first. If that doesn't work I'll see if i can trade to a dealer for a cheap tag pull camper and some cash.
