Let me know what day in July you can fit me in. Still here in Leucadia and looking forward to it. Very seriously considering making this my daily driver....
On another note, My gas pedal fell to the floor. The metal piece fell into the little hole and a little spring popped out. It still feels like there is tension on that line that goes back to the engine though. At least it feels like it from the engine side.
Hoping to get it back on the road by thursday or Friday, so if you get a chance give me a call, number is the same. I can always call you back so no long distance charges accrue on your end.
Ah vwdreamBayb. . . . yes, here you are. The bell has already rung!
Anyways, how about August 1st? It is a Friday. I want to have some extra carb parts from satchmo for birdibus AND YOU (particularly jets for you)if you'd like.
There is a relay lever that ataches to the floor under the bus (drop the belly pan if you have one, it's held on with just 6 little 10mm bolts). It takes the "down" from the accelerator pedal, and turns it into the "pull" for the carburetors. That relay lever needs to be present and accounted for.
It sounds like the link that runs from under the accelerator pedal to the relay lever has fallen off. It is normally held on with the accelerator pedal spring, the end of the spring acts like a circlip. Go forth and investigate. You can just stick it back in the relay lever and slap on any sort of retaining method you can think of (originally it was a little spring clip deal)
