Default "Baby it's cold outside...

It was cold at 0600 too! After leaving Dunkin Donuts my car started to really buck, fart and backfire all the way to Buckeye. As I turned right to go up the gravel road to the show, It decided to quit running. It wouldn't restart of course. It backfired so hard one time it blew two of my stack filters off and I lost them forever. Left the car off the side of the road to rest. Grabbed the donuts and walked up to the show to assist in spotting our Cobras. Good turn out considering the weather. Nice sampling of vintage aircraft, cars and vendors. Around 1100 hrs I called a tow truck for the ride home ($150.00). Now for the testing to see if it really is the fuel pump (Granatelli in-tank). Can't hear it operating when key is on.
I promised Dunkin Donuts and I delivered to all! Will post when I find out what happened. Thx to all who attended. BB
