HELP - 8V92 will not start
Did you ever try starting it with the fuel cap removed??? (starved
vacumn lock) It is alot cheaper to hire a mobile mechanic to make a site visit. You even save $2. per the mile to drive it in and back yourself ( when they are running). the other good thing about a mobile mechanic is ;they are working on your bus for that period of time and not lineing you up behind squeeky customers. I have in the past met mobile mechanics in the parking lot of Napa in the hopes that I could run the parts without delay to the tech and get back on the road early.
