Please please! That's enough! Stop making us laugh, we can't take it anymore! :nabble_head-rotfl-57x22_orig: Yup, Gary is choking us up with his rich humor! Stop! Stop! :nabble_laughing-25-x-25_orig:

Don't worry Matt, this keeps the suspense. We stay tuned and are looking forward to the next episode.

LOOOOOOL! You got me!

Ok Gary, I abdicate. The Peter Principle won, I just hit my English level of respective incompetence... And Google does nothing to help. Please fix my lack of knowledge, what DCBS stands for?

Yep! My brother in law is on a ski trip in Colorado's mountains now, cannot come back home (my sister and her husband live at Whistler BC). They are blocked there, 40 inches of snow in one night!

Was a very nice day here today. Sunny, couple of degrees over freezing point. We feel that this winter will finally ends up! Little wood job for Big Bro.

Today, tried to manually fill the carb bowl before start (after 6 winter weeks parked). See the result here.

Gentlemen, TADAAAAM! Big Brother suffers of dry carb bowl syndrome, it's a fact! He was parked since last January 31th. Six long winter weeks, no block heater plugged, only battery maintenance charger. Usually, the engine would have cranked a lot before start. Mechanical fuel pump has to work a bit before the carb bowl fills up. This morning, I tried the "syringe method" to pour some fuel in the carb vent tube. Success! Big Bro started immediately! a YouTube video.

Wow, beautiful cars! My neighbor is German, really nice guy. We communicate together in English, he with his big German accent, me with my big Frenchie's one. We sometimes have funny language misunderstandings and loudly laugh about it! I suggest that Gary move your thread to this topic, where some members have developed about their backstage lives.

Sounds good!

My dream! A Bullnose fuel tank that magically fills up while driving!

Good design. As I already said in couple of other threads, why designers are continuously trying to complicate things?!? Happy to see you were able to make it working on your Ranger!

Is a pun confessed half redressed? Good news! They'll be able to settle down a little bit, after this horrible experience. Waiting for the conclusion of you seat tests!

Gary, I found that pasting a GIF, we must not resize it. If resized, the software freezes the gif to its first image.

I used to drive with the back very vertical. Having some backache problems, a chiropractor suggested me to angle the seat back a little bit, just couple of degrees. This made a huge difference! I have to admit I was at first skeptical, but I was surprised to see that my back troubles disappeared! The doc was right.

Amazing! Maybe same fridge brand as Indy's one, when they nuke the fridge?

This is what we call a complete dismantling!

Wow, that's a quick an in-and-out! I'll be on vacation with my family at Sutton for 17-18-19-20, supposed to be back home 20th evening. Nothing special on my planing for 21th. Let me know if you find to have time, but I understand that it's going to be a very-busy-short-trip for you!

Ok, so Big Bro is correctly wired. A mistake on the wire diagram (Haynes). I know that Gary dislike these books, this will give him one more argument. Their 1984 diagram is so much different than Big Bro, I use the 1980 diagram, it is really close to Big Bro's situation. But... rear flashers colors are wrongly indicated.

If I am right, driver's rear flasher wire is supposedly orange, and passenger's side green+orange. Never understood why, but on Big Bro, rear flashers wires are reversed: Orange for the passenger side, green/or for driver's.

Before getting Big Bro, my wife's father had two Scouts. Here in the salted roads country, you could see them rusting in real time, fascinating. I didn't drive them a lot, but just enough to remember how the road-holding was terrible, was almost looking drunk for other vehicles around.
