Let's play Guess That Fault!

Can you tell why this bus is "down"???




Hint: No, it isn't because the Staff mechanic's hat is on fire!

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea....does that mean that one out of five enjoys it?

Fuel pump rod or it looks like Louis or whoever is behind Chris is messing around with the oil pressure switch or pulley? Thats my best guess

Louis....

Fuel pump rod... and maybe damaged dist. drive gear.

BTW the pump in the sand belongs in the sand

After a 100 mile tow put in an electric fuel pump and back on the road!

I'm putting an electric fuel pump in my emergency supplies bag.

And here I thought it was a spun muffler bearing or a strained framastand

been told to much pressure with the fuel pump. shaft put pressure on the dist drive shaft gear and it had premature ware.. not good for premature..... you know! I did not test the pressure on my NEW fuel pump before I installed it!
All this being said..an electric back up fuel pump will be in my bag of tricks from now on!!!

In my all things gone bad experience I've never seen that wear either!

On the electric pump, I keep one as an emergency spare and treat it just like them "bicycle" spare tires. You only use it to get out of a jam. Soon as you get home, it's time to correct the problem, not keep riding the "spare".

So, the pump had too much tension and put too much stress on the drive gear?? Was it a Brazilian pump? One of those sealed units?
