Hello Wayne -

WC>>> Saved a lot of other more labor intensive maintanance. 

->> Yes, dirt and/or metal filings in the carburetor would be a

WC> Yeah, I'd find all that in my fuel valve trap and float
WC> bowls. Adding the inline filter helped a lot and thereafter
WC> I I'd just removed the fuel valve's bottom to let the water

WC> ethanol in with a tank of gas. 

I've become a 'gentleman' driver these days. Kick the tires,
pump the gas, clean the windshield. If we still had "full service"
gas stations I'd not even be doing that. :-)
