<VV> Time to Replace pump...Takes 30 minutes believe me!

[J R Read_HML]

Yes, I like that method!

I was thinking roadside - two or three blocks down an unshaded country road 
after having stopped for gas and lunch.  When all you want to do is get it 
back on the road before being embarrassed by too many onlookers who haven't 
a clue.
