Fuel Filter

Going to install a new fuel filter. Think water is probably sitting on the bottom of the other one :(

Need to get some gasoline.

Wonder if that puppy is gonna start. I'm gonna start calling everything "puppy".

Nobody should scare me about the fuel injection. I can only handle so much.

The thing is, I need to get it started (if possible) so I can find out if the rods are bent, gaskets blown, heads cracked, transmission flooded and all that fun stuff. I understand pessimism. I won't get my hopes up. Don't worry. The fun part is that there's not that much to lose in trying.

And yes I know that if I do get it started, it may only run a while and seize like a rusty cage. I've had turds in my punch bowl. I know. I KNOW!

There's a left handed, upside down, self-clogging, pinlike, teflon coated, KaNooder diaphragm (similar to the '73 GSX Suzuki) that probably you'll search for forever but never find.

But...if you do it's 20mm.

It's clogged I tell ya!

20mm is close to 25/32 and maybe close enough to 3/4 so that if I ream it, I can fit that puppy.

I'm ambidextrous and can handle left and right handed coordinate systems.

I'm used to thinking in space, so upside down is right side up half the time. No problem.

Self clogging. I'll invert that puppy or blow it out my vacuum cleaner, some duct tape and square boxes to that round pinlike hole.

Pinlike... I'll use Bernoulli's equations and find the right pressure to take advantage of that to throttle this puppy.

I had a '73 GSX Suzuki and parts are in my attic. I saved them just in case - redundancy is my middle name.
