    Thanks zman! Exactly how the list is intended to be used, any of the hundreds of hamb members that have the list p***ing on the local hambers contact numbers in the area who have pledged to help out a hamb member in need of mechanical help on the road.

    Any help I can, just let me know. Stuck at the parts counter (harley) until 6 tonight. I've got good hookups at NAPA though.
    Hit the main (BIG) one at the north end of town and tell Joe that Jeff sent you.

    Or tell any other store that you forgot your rod and custom club card... PM me and I'll send you the # for it

    bad gas is probably just dealing with modern formulations of gas, along with the al***ude change. they ship different gas to different regions and elevations, it can really make a carbed engine throw a fit, the magic cure can be as simple as filling up with local gas. it's not a bad idea to have extra jets with you too, if you are making large changes in al***ude, especially if you are tuned lean at high al***ude, which is easy to get away with up here, and travel to sea level. be sure to schedule your jet changes for some sleepy town on a country road for the full "Two Lane Blacktop" effect.

    Hey guys, thank you so much for everything.... can't count the number of times I was on the side of the road, easily 20+... Here's a list of bs that happened...

    New plug wires that arced like crazy
    New distributor cap that wasn't made quite right
    Needle seat somehow backed out of the carb
    Bad coil
    Gas with sediments in it
    Gas with water in it
    Left rear almost catching fire when the bearing decided to let go down Sherman P*** east of Laramie, WY
    Coil installed in Colorado turned out to be defective, was able to limp it into Eastern WA, but died in Cle Elum, WA

    She runs like a top now & went over the Cascade Mountains without breaking a sweat. Thanks for everything guys...

    These were all shot on 200 speed film that was $5 for a 4 pack.

    Broke.
