I'm thinking of renaming this blog "This Old Suburban". It's got a nice ring to it I think. Other alternatives would be something like "This Old Gas-Leaking, Loud, Rusty Suburban".
It's the gas-leaking part that I guess I need to remedy first. On Monday morning I couldn't get it to stay running. Starting was fine (it's colder this week than last), but keeping it running without pumping the pedal just wasn't happening.
I noticed later in the day that there was about a 12" by 8" damp spot on the concrete under the truck. When I first picked it up, I had to fix a couple of cracked, leaking fuel lines, and I suspect this is more of the same.
So... now my priority list for this weekend starts with this: 1) fix leaking fuel lines 2) rebuild carburetor (it's leaking too).
We'll see how long that takes. I think it'll be easy and I'll still be able to get the suspension lowered and seats mounted. We'll see...
