Ray the downpipe is a PITA on all of em. Nothing you can do about it. It makes a huge difference having another person there to help out.

Yeah, I did them in the winter, all my help was laid off, all my friends have real jobs. All I do in the winter usually is wait for snow.

Its actually a lot of fun trying to do yourself, like a challange. Floorjack, Stepladder. repeat 10-20 times per truck, yeah fun, thats it.

Manual tranny SD's have a cat. Auto trannies are catless.

Trackspeeder, I put the lights in at the North Branford High School Football Field, way more years ago than I care to admit.

Catless, like my house 2 pitbulls = no cats

The field was more fun in the dark ages. Way way more years than I care to admit.

Aaron:

I got around to tinkering with the Suzuki.

The plug-valve in the fuel selector valve was dry and wedged in place.

The motorcycle quit because fuel was right at the reserve level.

After pushing the bike around / transporting it, fuel would slosh into the 'normal' line and eventually refill the carb.

I have new o-rings, bolts and washers on order.

Then I'll grease the plug and rebuild the valve.
