Default Re: Driving the Million Dollar Highway (Colorado)

I have had to conclude that the "carburetor stones" that Old Henry was suffering with on the trip were a result of the failing and ultimately failed generator since as soon as I replaced the brushes in that so that it worked right the engine smoothed right out again and works great. It wasn't a fuel problem, as I had supposed. It was a spark problem caused by the low voltage of the dying generator. It's constantly amazing to discover things that seem totally unrelated being attached somewhere in the cosmos to affect each other.
