Well, the Yellow Peril was running nearly perfectly when Ben took it over
to a school to recruit for a youth ministry this noon but by this afternoon,
it was acting up and so I put the gauge back on it to find that pressure was
dropping to 10 psig or lower under power. So I guess we have already plugged
the NEW filter with fine rust.
Next step (probably Monday) will be to empty and remove the tank and get it
cleaned over at the radiator shop. Hopefully that will return us to a world
of reality operation.
Would have been just as bad (perhaps differently) with carbs, I imagine.
