Not been fun the past week...
more issues popped up...
Water leak under the shower area... old pipe has small crack, kept hearing water running but couldnt see anything. keep searching people, its going somewhere. lol ( still working on this issue... may have to pull shower to get to it. )
was getting hot while searching for leak, and turned on AC unit to cool down... compressor comes on but no FAN blowing... ugh.
Ended up getting on roof and removing the cover, and the shaft has a greasey dirt buildup on it... clean it up, lube it good and remove a huge dirt dauber nest, couple live wasp nests, and a few leaves, give it a spin and its is smoother when it turns. I close it all up, put new stainless screws to hold the cover, ( others were really rusty. ) go back down and check it... good to go!
So, last night I want to go fill up the Honey, for a trip to TN this morning, forgot my phone inside, ran in to get it and on the way out i noticed fluid splattering near rear passenger tire... get under and gas spraying all over... shut it down and the fuel pressure regulator has prob deteriorated over time and from this lovely Ethanol gas. ugh.


So I googled and found this is a problem for some old coaches. the regulartor has been discontinued so that didnt help.
but here are the parts you would need if you come across this problem.
Holley repair kit part# 12-807 $12.99
Holley Fuel Regulator - part# 12-803 $35.99
came across this helpful video by a youtuber named Nathan. I really appreciate it and a few other videos he has shared.
Replacing Fuel Pressure Regulator Chevy 454 P30 chassis
so, I hope to have this issue fixed by tomorrow, trip canceled.
Thankful for seeing it, before going down the road and being stranded or something worse.
Thanks for stopping by,
