my "never needs anything" truck needs something...

amazing how many stalls I had today while driving in the city.
had to ride the clutch in first to get it underway.. and even with that I stalled more times than my wife learning how to drive stick..

hard starts (long cranks) were the result..

parked at office awaiting some interweb diagnostic...

could it be the clutch is just shot?  of course with the renix, for all I know its a ground issue somewhere.

Perfectly functional....    Either arm was bent on install or sock broke loose and I'm missing the bottom 1/4-1/2 of fuel.  Put 21 gal in.  Runs perfect.  25 gal tank I think...
