Kudos Tim, wish you were around when I rebuilt the carb on my Power Wagon the first time. I cut corners thinking that it would be okay. Well it wasn't. I went for a weekend outing and the governer stuck. It was snail mode all the way back home. It should have taken me 3 hours to get back home and instead it took almost 15. I had to listen to the bitching from the wife too.I could have gotten a wrecker to tow it home but did anyone ever have one of these trucks towed for any length of distance much less locally? It takes a mighty heap of money. I had to rebuild the carb again and that time I went the extra mile and did it right. My baby now runs like a top and I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. Never again will I ever cut corners. It was a miserable weekend that I really want to forget about but the wife is probably not going to let me for a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
