JMcCain8 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 You will get it figured out, think of it this way. Its at your house because know body else could fix it. And when you figure it out you will be king. And you will be happy its gone. im trying to see the humor in your post here ..and have to admit ..its at my house cuz he cant afford for someone else to fix it ..he has been burned for 700.00 before i got it ...burned big time . i am going to charge him ofcourse . but not what i would charge most poeple ...he is a good man ..plus he owns a wieldijng truck ..and i needs some done ..... .. anyway back to burned ......all i could find of what this other person did to it ..was wires rotor and cap ..heck he charged them for plugs ..funny for new plugs they sure look very old ..rip off ..... i have been sick for three days .and havent worked on it ..today i can breath just enough to pull the starter .and that took me 2 hours .......it is suppose to rain monday ..im off ..and its outside .if it rains i will have this starter done tonight ...sorry didnt notice i was on cheeze it 7.....till now ..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KISS_Racing Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I have done a lot of gratis work throughout the years... They seem to be the ones where I think I can figure them out quick and fix them when in reality they take longer and seem to test my patients the most. HT, I will tell you your payment will come. It is people like you who have a special place in my heart. There is another fellow racer who I know does alot of gratis or does not charge much for the work. When he and I first met I think we just about killed one another or at least probably wanted to. I don't get to see him alot but I will tell you it is a pleasure to call him friend. That being said HT you and your family are in my prayers. As long as you don't mind me posting things I find, I will keep on doing it on this or any other problem you have...

KISS_Racing Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Cars are together and should not need to do much, so if we can make it happen I would love to come by. As you said lets see what happens between now and Friday morning. We took the supercharged vette up to Discount Tire about a 5 mile trip each way. That sick is just plain sick. From a 30 mile per hour roll it wants to jump sideways. When you come off throttle it sounds like a huge turbo car. Can't wait to see what mile per hour it will put down. Car went 184 in October with a trashed clutch.... Woo Hoo come on tomorrow........ Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neon14 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 maybe the regulator is bad. Whats the fuel pressure supposed to be?
