Change the fuel filter, diesel grows algae. The genset is taking more work as it is a gas unit in mine. Carb was all gummed up and still surges.

Blue Bird used specific materials and components that would indicate factory or not. As to the engine working, My '72 prototype sat neglected for 6 years and started right up with only a new battery. Have put a couple hundred miles on it already. > > > > > > Jason > > > > > > > > > On May 18, 2011, at 12:03 PM, wbostow wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > Help!
