[Land-speed] NON LSR but Good Advice

[joseph lance]

A letter from a Man's advice column


Dear Walter:

I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my
husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile
down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I
walked back home to get my husband's help.
When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with a
neighbor lady making mad passionate love to her. I am 32, my husband is 34 and
we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he broke down
and admitted that he'd been having an affair for the past six months.

I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months
ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I
love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become
increasingly distant. I don't feel I can get through to him anymore.

Can you please help?

Sincerely,

Mrs.. Sheila Usk



Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety
of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the
fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes
onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it
could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to
the carburetor float chamber.

I hope this helps.

Walter
