Where are we today ?
Plattsville Ontario
This morning got things done then into town at 8 am. My doc appt at 8:40 and Suzie at 9:15 am. Perfect timing then Suzie dropped me off to the hospital for a couple more checkups. Next stop at the bank, fuel the car, stop at Old Navy to shop a bit for Suzie. No deals for her so back home in time for lunch .
Lunch done she can enjoy her books for a while. And I puttered with our Genny for while assessing a couple more issues. The fuel pump is fine, it will pump gas from an gas can, so need to replace the fuel line to the main gas tank, it must be blocked or deteriorating, which will be a big job, to remove the gas tank, but right now its full of gas about 60 gallons of it, gotta do some travelling.
Now relax in the sun with our books for a while, perfect!

The meal was excellent, service quick and friendly. The company and conversation was perfect as well, my how time flies when we are having fun.
Was too late when we got home to begin this posting so finished it off in the morning
Another busy day again on Saturday as well.
Glad you dropped on by again.

That genny sure has been giving you problems, even after the new starter. Hope you get it running. Fuel lines can be tricky to work on.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a big job, removing the fuel tank.
DeleteIt seems you're having one problem after another lately. Hopefully, you'll get everything fixed and it will all run like a top soon. Looks like you did have an amazing day other than the fix-it stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great day, hopefully can get all the issues taken care of before we head south again in the fall.
DeleteYummy looking food there! It's a real treat to go out every so often especially with family or friends!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are still having genny issues.
Excellent food as usual.
DeleteThe issues will be resolved eventually.
Hope things get squared away for you! Bet you are having a lot nicer weather than we are! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice here today in the low 90's and no wind.
DeleteI do hope those tests and check ups are heading in the right direction. Nice of daughter #2 to take you out, you must be a special Dad :) In my family I am #1 daughter. Sometimes Dad would just call out the numbers if we were in trouble " #2 and #4 get down here right now!!" Great memories.
ReplyDeleteWe have great childhood memories too.
DeleteThe tests are all pretty much check ups. Will see how things go.
Great fun with the family dinner outing but not so much with the ongoing generator issue. Removing the fuel tank does sound ominous!
ReplyDeleteWe take the good with the bad, makes for a nice balance.
DeleteWait George, before ya pull the fuel tank. The fuel line at the tank or close to it should be rubber hose. Go to the auto parts an' buy a.....shoot, what they call them things?....to hook two rubber hoses together with little hose clamps. Cut the hose close to the tank. Disconnect the hose at the fuel pump. Using compressed air, or lung blow power, blow through the line from the fuel pump side. It should be a easy blow if it's not plugged. Now, blow into the line you cut into the fuel tank. Compressed air should eliminate a blockage if there is one....which I seriously doubt.
ReplyDeleteThis test only takes a short time where pulling the tank is a two day affair.
Dang, I forgot to mention....a squirrel chewed a hole in my rubber fuel line one time. It won't pump fuel with a hole in it.
DeleteThanks Billy Bob, will be checking into that, when we are back in the area here. Very difficult to see where the fuel line goes, but think it might be worth a try.
DeleteGood troubleshooting on your genny fuel problem. Those lines can deteriorate with age. Not fun pulling a fuel tank down, but ya' gotta' do what ya' gotta' do. You'll be happy you did! ;c)
ReplyDeleteThats the plan we will fix what needs to be done.
