MR MA70 Regular Location: Sydney Registered: May 2002	Re: Most dodgiest fixing you have ever seen... Thu, 26 February 2004 06:23 Not really a fixing but more of a temp repair. We were in Mt Gambier SA for an event (We live in Sydney), and left for the drive home at about 7am on Easter monday. One hour after leaving, sitting on 110 i got that sick feeling when all of a sudden, even though my foot haddent moved, the accelleration dramatically decreased. As it turns out, the mechanical fuel pump had craped itself 14 hours away from home on one of the only days of the year that you can not buy any form of replacement.... To get home the passenger had to hold a 20l drum of fuel on their knees with garden hose (that we acquired from the front lawn of a local)running our the passenger window through the gap in between the guard and slightly popped bonnet up to the carby, syphon (spelling???) feeding the fuel..... Had to wire the bonnet with my 6*9 speaker wiring so it couldnt fly up and if we drove over 80kph the motor would starve of fuel. Needless to say it was a danm long trip home!
