Default HB Problems Fixed

It seems that as I get older, forgetting the obvious seems to be a pattern. I posted that my HB was a bit of a disappointment. I decided that It must be the ps pump and ordered a rebuilt from VB&P.
Turns out that my hose was loose and I was loosing fluid when I was running. That is why I didn't have a mess in driveway to alert me to the problem. I did have a leaking intake man that covered up the problem. They tightened the hose and fixed the oil leak. Now I have a ps pump in reserve for when this one quits. Lesson learned!

Take nothing for granted
Think outside of the box
Don't forget the obvious

Since there haven't been any responses to this I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't know what an HB is.

It's a HamBurger BK. Just think outside the box (yes Jack in the Box) and don't forget the obvious BK. He called Vette Burgers and Potatoes to get the correct combo from thier menu. Now if he wanted a cheeseburger of course he would have written (said) CB. But no, it obvious he wantes a big Hamburger but not a juicy one with fluid leaking from it.

Hope this helps,
