Something is wrong with my Series 2. It has run flawlessly since december. Nothing has broken, nothing is leaking, it is starting right up and doing everything I ask of it.

what the hell can the problem be? driving me crazy!!!

Outta headlight fluid.

Common, yet disabling problem.

I would give you some advice but I couldn't reliably do so since I haven't experienced it yet.

normally i'd say sudden crappy running is due to points vibrating out of adjustment or fuel filter needing changed but i gotta go with LR Max on this one

You know, now that you have posted this thread, you are doomed. ;)

Well last night I consulted the crazy car guy at my apartment complex while staring at his Porsche 928 that hasn't run in 3 years (BTW, I write on it since its covered in pollen). We both came to the general conclusion that you need to do a hand stand, while hitting the tire with a hammer with one foot and sing "Yellow Submarine". This should get the truck running again.

Take a video of this so we can review to make sure you are doing it correctly if this fails. It is a very precise motion and any slight deviation won't work.

if it's one of the earliest series, check your druids...sometimes one or two will go bad

Well, now that you are doomed, you have the right thread subject line for when whatever happens does happen (or does not happen, like start)...

I can't believe someone threw down the XKCD wiring diagram. :thumb-up:

I'm going to go geek out now....
