RE: Convert points to electic

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

After going through the usual torture of trying to start the car after 
sitting for 5 days,  I noticed the clear plastic inline fuel filter had 
no gas in it.. 
after pumping the pedal (countless times) still had no gas in it.. 
I cranked the engine a few times, still no gas..
I walked away for a while (thinking I needed a new fuel pump, and went 
to search the web) 

when I came back there was gas in the filter and it started right up... 

go figure
