And literally last night my odometer method failed me... foiled by the choke wire getting unplugged.

Went about 1/2 as far as I usually do... dad wasn't impressed going up town at 12:30am to get me some gas...

I noticed it didn't seem to have quite the punch it usually does... but it the cold weather I usually baby it anyway.
Choke? What's that? lol...haven't had a working choke since I put this intake/carb combo on 11 years ago...it usually started first crank every time, even in the coldest of winter...but I used to park it in a garage.

Yabba Dabba Doo !! :icon_rofl: (Sorry, I couldn't resist)-
Don't laugh, it still has dinosaur mechanic prints on it from the day they installed it...

You know you owned a Ranger when you miss so much, you want to go buy another one. I was thinking a 1st gen with a 20B dropped in it.

You know you own a Ranger when your turning around in your driveway and your tailpipe falls off. Just happened today. I've lost two tips already because they just fell off. Must be that 143 hp beast under the hood.

I've blown up three fairly new mufflers...one was due to a broken distributor and two were due to cold weather starting...well, not starting...and the gas just keeps on flowing down there regardless of enough spark...

so...

You know you own a carbureted Ranger when you've spent more money replacing mufflers than actual upgrades...
