[Morgans] how I spent my day

[John T. Blair]

Gang,

Today I spent it working on the Morgan.  As I said yesterday, I wasn't
getting any gas to the carb.  So I pulled the output pipe from the fuel
pump and blew it out.  Then I pulled the fuel pump and cleaned a bunch of
gunk out of it.  Then pulled the main fuel line from the tank and blew it
out.  And finally drained the remaining 4 gal of stale, yellow/browish
gas out of the tank.

Put everything back together, put 4 gal of new gas (@ $2.80/gal) in.  She
fired right up and purred.....  So now I'll have to take her for a spin
in the next couple of days.

One nice thing about the 4/4 and the Zenith V32 carb, is that you can drop
the float bowl, similar to removing the float bowl covers off the SUs.  So
I could fill that up with gas, and have a few minutes of run time.  So 
moving the car around and getting the pump to pull fuel again, is easy.
Not sitting there cranking forever, until I get a dead battery. :)

John
