Tomorrow Breckfast at 7 and stands up at 9. For those with Ikes that run...

Soooooo.... looks like it's fixed....or everyone gave up

[Whiskerfish]

No not fixed yet. Going after the ignition system next. I think the good Doctor has a set of coils at his house. Probably play with that this afternoon

When it first happened yesterday we pulled the plug and it was bone dry. That is why we went after the carbs first. IR gun showed 300 degrees or so on 3 jugs and 90 on # 1. So it was fairly obvious where the problem was. it lied!

[Whiskerfish]

Sorry no trip for you Oldewing. Fuel pump fixed it.
