I can receive fine. Dale RE: RV-List:YUMA, AZ Hi Yuma, and nearby Arizona RVers, We are departing Abilene TX this morning and will stop in Yuma. Trying to reach the nice builder there who said he would join visitors for lunch. We will check email on landing today and see if you are available. We had a beautiful ride from Ft Lauderdale, FL to Abilene yesterday. San Diego or bust!

In talking with Van's, they said they had no info on this configuration and couldn't offer any help on how the throttle and mixture cables are routed and mounted on the engine. If anyone has done this, I would appreciate any pointers or pictures you could provide Thanks, Jim Barrilleaux ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
