To All, Before putting in all sorts of stuff, Turn THE FUEL FILTER aro=
und! It only works if it is installed correctly. This is a personal expe=
rience: We were traveling out west going to Tucson and stopped at Carlsbad=
Caverns for several days. While there one of our traveling companions opte=
d to do some small maintenance on his engine. When we left to continue our=
trip the coach would run great for a short time and then it would run out =
of power. We fought that for better part of a morning at the rest area jus=
t south of Artesia, NM. Looked at everything, change the fuel pump and sev=
eral other things and didn=E2=80=99t look at the fuel filter as he said tha=
t it was new and he had changed the day before. After more screwing around=
, one guy said, =E2=80=9CLets Check the FUEL FILTER=E2=80=9D! Found that h=
e had installed it backwards and it was restricting the fuel flow to the ca=
rb. You have to understand that this group of 4 were very knowledgable and=
we all missed it at first. Damn, ran well for the next 4 months and home =
to Ohio for him and for several years after that. I have got group of =
pictures that shows how to correctly put the fuel filter in the carburetor.=
