Yippee!
I finally have my Turtle Girl running again after she caught on fire last
summer. The injectors to cylinder # is confusing in the Bently manual. I
still need to fix a coolant leak where the hose broke off the bleed screw for
the radiator hoses and some odd ball throttle linkage situation, but it's
running again! I've gone along way from "I wonder what all that stuff under
the engine cover does", to now I can identify all the parts and pieces and
have some idea what they do. I've spent between $600 and $700 on parts and
three trips to the auto recycling yard in Rancho Cordova, CA. New spark plug
wires were extremely expensive, $75. One bum injector and a new fuel line kit
from Ken Wilfy with a nice list member discount.
Hope you see me on the road soon!
