STRESS....two broke jeeps in the driveway....

STRESS LEVEL....HIGH ALERT....

very high the past two weeks....

two broke jeeps in the driveway.......
one leaks oil like the Exxon Valdez....
the other doesn't have enough power to carry it's self across the street......
the blond I live with is going ballistic...
THE DRIVEWAY LOOKS LIKE CRAP.....
tore into the Valdez this AM...got into the left front as far as the spindle bearings....cross threaded spindle nut ruins a quick bearing repack and knuckle seal replacement in a heartbeat....
realizing that I am not going to get the kid's jeep on the road, I disassemble the right front as the kid removes the carb from the 46....
seems it doesn't want to run at anything over an idle since the weekend playing in the mud....

a quick cleaning does the 46 no good whatsoever....

off to the raceguy's house for help....

three beers....four take aparts and put together agains...one more beer and one more take apart and put together again.....thanks Vince for FINALLY showing up....
the 46 runs like a top....
seems the float was not set correctly....

I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS....

but at least the kid has a ride to school this week while I locate spindles.....


CELEBRATE LIFE..........
