VDW & Jimbo Im tryin

Pick one, any one

Fuel line abuse, almost there, at the downward slope

I hear ya Jimbo, forgot the fluid when I was 19, made it 2500-3000 miles before it was toast. WOOPS

They dont have dipsticks

[fredybear]

HOLY RAVIOLI

I Broke Through

Delicious

What a sound to the air at the other end

That took awhile, the whole line full of tar

I can hear the single port purring now

[VeeDubWolf]

That old fuel turned back into dinosaurs inside the line!
Nice work clearing it!

Thanks VDW

Next----How to wire up a bare beetle UGG

Where does the fat white and red striped wire go

I cant find that color in any of the diagrams

[VeeDubWolf]

Can't find it in the diagrams either, but a big wire has to go to something that requires more power, right?
Can you get a better idea of its purpose by locating the other end?
With the end being soldered on like that, I wonder if it used to have a different end or something.
Color-wise it's gotta be a positive wire.
