I loaded up the Jeep last night...rods, tackle bags, etc......gassed it all up so all I would have to do is jump in this am and I am off......
I get in...turn the key and pump the gas pedal a couple times to get the fuel there (she is old) and on the second push of the pedal....."SNAP"....
accelerator cable snaps!
So....not to be deterred, I transfer all my gear to my truck and off I go.....no fish but what a b-e-a-uitful day to be aggravated!
Lucked out, found a cable (20 years old I would be afraid it was not available) fixed in 5 minutes when I got home and it turns ou to be a blessing in disguise....the cable was so loose before that it was not idleing properly......now it runs 1000 times better!
It could have been worse....I could have been someplace far away when it happened other than in my driveway!
