. . . for people who need a diagram to reference when they are directing a neophyte. Should it go to the fuel injection sticky?

That's fantastic!
Any chance of making it bigger or splitting it into 2 pages?, the key is a little hard to read.

Colin,

This is a great drawing! I imagine it would be tremendously helpful if you were new to FI. Thank you for this (and all!) of your contributions to the community.

Just about all of your drawings I have seen are at this resolution. If I magnify them they get really pixellated. Maybe it's an incentive for people to buy the book (and enrich your estate).

If these are hand drawings, you might have luck just scanning them and selecting the resolution you want. Even taking a good digital photo of the drawing could get better resolution.

The tough part is, if it is at higher resolution, most browsers will expand it and it will be huge on the screen. Maybe a better techie than me would have a better idea.

Many thanks!!! This is going to help me a ton when I put mine back together after replacing the fuel filler neck and vapor hoses.

Excellent work Colin.....

coming along very nicely.

while photobucket would allow the owner to 'download' the image in it's original size, the code to share the image elsewhere only shows the smaller version to save on bandwidth.

you'll have to buy the book when it comes out to get the full resolution images. as it should be.

curtis4085 - if your not already on the list you better hussle over to Colins site and get on it, as the schedule looks to be filling up quickly. I already sent in my deposit for this years tour.

the best spent money on my bus is it's yearly visit from Colin

xxx2!

A good friend of mine is a technical illustrator; she'd love this stuff.

BTW, Colin, if you want to turn up the ability to do even more than paint.net will, take a look at GIMP, which is a photoshop knockoff. Its Open Source and Free, and caused me to hang up my Photoshop spurs about five years ago, because it would do anything I used to make the pricey photoshop do.

Again, great diagrams.
