Friends,
Day 1 - Fuel guage ceases to register
Day 2 - Operator foolishly believes the odometer and fails to fill up - walks
to station
Day 3 - GT6 refuses to start, quickly draining the battery - much fuel exits
K&Ns
Day 3 - (later) temps now in the 30s, operator taps on float bowls, GT6 starts
Day 4 - (a.m.) temps in the 30s GT6 starts, operator leaves lights on in lot
30 mins.
Day 5 - (p.m.) battery has not recovered, GT6 laughs at operator's attempts to
start
Day 6 - (a.m.) temps in the 20s, GT6 turns over twice and goes back to bed
An unerring instinct and sharp mechanical sympathy tells me that something is
wrong. Is it likely that the failure of the fuel gauge is caused by a short
which is also draining the battery? Also likely that the empty-tank episode
yielded tank/line crap which stuck one or both floats open and caused the
driveway version of the Exxon Valdez? Combination of causes? Other causes?
