    Thanks. Its always a good feeling to have to fix something that was done wrong by a previous owner. Now I know it is correct.
  5. Re: Negative battery cable connector melted right off battery post

    Fixed the problem. The previous owner had the power wire to the starter running from the top around and it was rubbed bare. So note the starter wire should run underneath.

    Re: fuel leak at fuel filter

    Its hard to tell exactly where the leak is but it is surely on the lower half side. I am going to replace the unit and be sure to use new washers. Hopefully that will solve the problem.
