Not everybody has to carry everything. One guy has the spare pulley, they other guy has the jack, the other guy has a spare set of plugs, etc, etc. Lets see, 2002, John J's carb messed up, I crawled under Jim A's car and smacked the starter for him once. We all push started John J's car a couple times, when the starter wouldn't kick in. When we got back to my house, we rebuilt John's starter and he was good to go. BTW, John, Is that starter still on the car?? -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
