Old fuel filter out, new one in, system bled through and truck started. 5 mins. OiC HF took longer making the brews lol
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)

First time in about three weeks............Jeezze it felt good and felt nippier than I remember
Went out to pick up some wine, when I got back the Mrs said "I thought you had taken the truck, I heard a beefy sounding tractor pass the back of the garden" ...result 
Anyway, the wine

I must be losing the touch.... 
CB's in, all hard wired incl the antenna and I've even fitted another speaker (ex nokia phone kit jobby). It even turns on and what do I get? A speaker full of breaker breaker or a load of mush.......
Aye, you guessed it, a load of mush lol
Me thinks I need to a. re-check the earth at the antenna base and b. get hold of a SWR meter thing and do a bit of tuning!
And no, the stick bit does NOT short to the body. Been there, done that on a VRC 321 when my ex mate started slammin morse out at 20wpm as I was sticking the whip in the mount. I made the circuit
