1991 WL PT 40

[mbulriss]

Dave,

I truly admire your intestinal fortitude and calm attitude with all
those problem on your trip. Can you clear up one thing for me? Like
Bob Howald, I read your original message to be that it was the Detroit
that had to be re-built on the road (yikes!). Ron Marabito read it to
be the generator engine. Which one is correct? In either event, it
was definitely not a pleasant occurance. I am not sure I would be as
pleased if my new-to-me 91 had those problems so soon after purchase.
I look forward to sharing learning experiences with you on the 91s!
