Rode to work thursday and she died on me... I panicked because I was late to a meeting and got a ride, but went back over lunch and got it running.
Fuel filter plugged off tight.
Cleaned the filter out and made it home, but she did it again (same exact place where i'm running 70 mph up a hill just about full throttle) on the way in this morning.
This time I flipped the filter around and hooked it to the tank to blow the crud out. Was flowing free, but started to loose power a few blocks from work. Nursed it in but i'll have to run over lunch and get a new filter.
Oh well, if that is the only hiccup, I'd say i'm doing pretty well. Worst case scenario just carry an extra and swap it out when it dies, until all the fine crud makes its way out of the tank.
I will drain the tank this weekend and fill up fresh, hopefully get most of the big crud out. I can use the gas in my truck, it will burn anything and has the industrial size fuel filter.
