    Need some help here

    Well I found out what the issue was. Anyone have an idiot of the year award they care to bestow? I guess somehow the tank selector switch got moved from RH where my only fuel tank is to LH where the original tank was chopped out. Someone can go ahead point and laugh cuz I sure have been. So if...

    Well kinda good news. It's not the fuel pump. I bypassed the tank entirely routing a jerry can directly to the inlet on the pump and she runs fine. So I can at least get her home and tie into the issue completely in the proper work environment and wash off the two inches of mud that coats the...

I'll see if I can get to the top of the tank without having to drop it to inspect the hoses and fill it up and try to purge the...

    Great timing. I am wanting to do the same thing with mine. There are some big puddles I wanna go play in but worried about drowning her. Aside from the snorkel and diff breather hoses what all would I have to waterproof
