After a lot of searches without helpful results, this post is identical to the problems I’m currently having. I realize it’s from 2014, but is there an update on what you concluded the problem was and how you fixed it?
This has been around forever, but in case you haven't seen it:
I work behind the counter of a parts and accessories store.
Sometimes I'm called a genius, sometimes I'm called lots more.
I'm just a simple parts man, but when a job goes sick.
The "experts" come to me and ask "What makes this [censored] thing tick ?"
I'm supposed to know the numbers of valves and bolts and gears;
on every product that been made for more than forty years.
Mind reader and magician, and handyman as well.
I'm supposed to be Edison plus Alexander Bell.
But life would be a pleasure and I'd smile from ear to ear,
if people just would tell me the MODEL, MAKE AND YEAR!
(And in the case of a MerCruiser, serial number!)
