Title: Thanksgiving Trip
Post by: Toedtoes on December 17, 2014, 09:15:25 AM
Spent Thanksgiving at Glory Hole Campground on New Melones Lake near Angels Camp.  Had a great time with not a lot of folks around.  The view was great!

And on my last day, these weird folks showed up...  Bat-dog has her doubts about them! :)  But that 2nd clipper in the background looks great!

I'm game for an outing.  Of course, that's if I can get him started and out of the driveway...

He suddenly won't start again.  My boss is going to come over and take a look to see if we can figure out the problem.  I think it may be the "no spark" problem reasserting itself...

Welcome to my world...!   Starting.  It's been a crapshoot lately, carb adjustments so I am told. If that doesn't work, it's a new carb and electronic ignition. I did exactly that on my 78 boat and solved all my starting issues. The middle of the lake there are no Clippers to save me!
Well we'll all be stranded together Anyway!
Keep us posted on your "Spark".

I just had the carb rebuilt, so I'm hoping it doesn't end up with me having to put in a new one...  I also had the choke parts replaced.

My boss thinks possibly the starter fly wheel.  I'm going to try a few things this weekend and then he'll see what he can come up with next week.  At least it did it at home and not out camping.
