I can still think of things I wanted to do in 1984 that I haven't done yet.

That's 14,600 days late ago.

Not sure that I am capable of compounding the interest on all those dollars shorted.
Damn, 1984… I was 15 and rebuilt my first 2-stroke.

Isn’t there a statute of limitations on procrastination?

Don’t keep lists. Those are just bad reminders of stuff that didn’t get done.

Allow the forgetter to do its job.

My forgetter’s getting better, and my rememberer is broke.

My wife hates it, but I can live in bliss.

@Y2KW57

Here is my final draft for this document.

I took a look in the tech folder on my mobile device and found that PDF files opened up easily. The .docx wouldn't open on my iPhone so I converted it to a PDF.

By request I have also added the .docx document that can be saved to your device and edited.

And it's in the Tech Folder already!

Imagine that?

So you want a PDF that you can dance on?

I struggled with how to write it up.

I could have just made a simple one page flow chart but my goal here was to create a step by step guide with the procedures for the diagnosis. Follow the steps, find your problem.

What F350towing prepared IS in fact a PDF.

Did you try clicking the PDF attachment link in F350Towing's post?

The image I posted was simply a screenshot of the index location of F350towing's post link in the Tech Folder.

The actual post, and the pdf itself, is "stored" in this thread, in F350towing's post.

My apologies for explaining that if you already understood. I explained it because I could not understand your stating that you much prefer a PDF, when that is exactly what was presented... a PDF.

I think it looks great, easily understanded and even has pictures for people like me that can barely read...

Well done Les and we are grateful for your efforts.

I had been alerted to the fact that not all my information was 100% correct.

The ORB at the fuel bowl ports are in fact a 4- not the 6 as it is was originally written. Thanks Jason. I had to go back and check my receipts to confirm.

This has been corrected on the current posted version.

The beauty thing about the way Y2K has linked it, I can easily modify the document and put the replacement into the linked post.

Little heads up about deleting and then uploading a replacement file. When I do that on the matrix, the system freaks out and doesn’t “finish” the upload. BUT it will still be there after submitting the edit. Not sure why it does this but didn’t want you to waste a bunch of time trying to get it to upload like I have in the past. If it does that, try saving your edit and see if it’s there afterwards.
