    Hard to start

    :idea:I took the O ring out and it was cracked up. I took it to Autozone, O Reilys, the Chevrolet dealer and nobody could match it. So I drove to a Hydrolic repair shop and the guy matched it and gave me one for free. So first I put it in wrong and fuel was leaking bad. Then I put it around...

    Quick fixes/ emergency repairs/ jerry rigging/ inovations that will get you home.

    kennyw your such a party pooper.... Yes I am going to weld the sheet metal... This forum is for quick fixes. I think the 2X4 is a pretty clever Idea. I hammered it in and it locked the seat in place. No more wiggling.

    Fuel Filter Unit help

    In the center of the STE fuel pressure switch there is a black rubber plug. Looks like a pool cue tip. Is that what leaks?

    my cucv

    (I cut and pasted this from another forum I posted in) I just went to Radio Shack. I showed the guy the picture of ^ that green resistor(from a different forum) and they didn't have one that big. They had no 300 Ohm resistors. What they did have was a 5 pack or 150 Ohm 1/2 watt resistors for 99...

    Hard to start

    My 1009 does the same thing. Starts for a few seconds, then runs out of fuel because there is air in the system. I open the hood and open the bleeder valve on my fuel filter. start it for a few second, and it bleeds the air out of the filter, then I shut the valve after some fuel has bled out...
