The event here is related because:   1] It's over 100 mi closer for our N.E. friends, and with record fuel costs, many will not go to either.   2] Several don't know the camping season is not over, as there are a few events left through next month.  This is not about competition,  as it's simply important to get the word out;  there are some who go to more than 1 event on the same weekend.  Sorry for last minute notice!

Vanagon concerns / pertronix

The pertronix has nothing to do with Fuel Injection; It was a faulty unit, for sure.

Bay window concerns / belt replacement

Loosen the 6mm allen which tightens the belt, [upper] lube it, too-there is a 8mm nut underneath ehich locks the pivot-install new belt, tighten both.  [ Make sure the fan is tight before.]

Our campout here in West Milford is not going to be held this year due to Kevins effort in keeping Westys in the Woods as an ongoing event.  Thanks, Kevin!.  I sent in my reservation and hope to come.  I thought it had been 20 yrs. since the first event there, as some 'baby' campers then are now grown up adults.   Several of us visited from West Milford during our last event which was held at both places.  The restrictions of Stokes, first held by Ron Maxon, then by Tim Demarest, which is a state park, led to a need to find another place to acomodate other campers here.  Bill Messmer had convinced the town to use the KOA campground [owned by the town] for a minimal charge without many rules put upon us.  If there is a need to hold another here again, it will be done.  There are not many events in LiMBO which have lasted as long as Westys!

Don't replace with ty 1 hose-it's not for heat-do rust first-then find a substitute replacement

Our dear friend, John Jordan has passed  yesterday.  He was a great guy.  My condolences to his family.  His smile and never ending help to LiMBO will be missed.  May he rest in peace.

The maker of the Granny's Video [Bryan] does a great job as always and usually has it done right after each event.  I did a clutch for him shortly before the campout, and sent the video to Phil to post, Thanks Phil.

We are in full swing, with WW Milford this weekend, and  Buses by the Big Duck on June 3.   I've found going to eastern Long Island a worthwhile trip if one leaves early when passing through NYC.

To my knowledge, it's in front; check for interference when done.

It is most simple, take everything out and get rid of it.
