Sometimes it's the Simple Things
Hi Everyone,
Had a great couple stop by concerned about "low pulling power" while climbing grades in comparison to previous experience with their 3126c/330 HP.
Test drove and sure enough she was a dog. Installed my HEUI pressure transducer and again test drove to find the HEUI pressure was spot on at all loads. I noticed the fuel filter, frame mounted rear, had some rust around the top of the canister. I asked how long ago it was changed (should have asked this sooner). the reply was: "I don't remember". removed the filter, cut open at the top of the can and found the worst mess of debris I have ever seen. I happen to have a replacement handy and installed after pre-filling.
Power was back! Simple fix at times.
Travel safe!
