Still Life with Larry

Larry bought a bus (a '78 Westfalia, "Sandy") a couple weeks ago in Reno and is on his way, the long way, back to Vermont with her. (He's going the long way to knock off the few states he has yet to visit.) Check out his blog. That map is crazy accurate, the waypoints anyway.

A failure to idle well or start easily when warm has been plaguing him since somewhere in Washington (I think). He found us online and arranged for a visit, and why not see if we can address the engine while we're at it, yeah?

His co-pilot Lexie kept watch in the cabin.

The beginning of our crash-course in L-Jetronic fuel injection yielded no real results. It's fun to mess around with someone else's bus though. For the occasion I wore a jacket to match the bus.

Tomorrow: Larry's first valve adjustment
