My stock '88 GW 360 shut-down on me yesterday. Problem: no fuel to the carb.
I let it cool for an hour and poured cold water over the fuel system; finally it started and gave no further problems.
I don't get it. The day was was hot, but not the hottest of the year. Yes, we were using the A/C, but we were not towing or otherwise "loading" the vehicle.
I checked the gas tank vent and it was working. The timing chain set was replaced four years ago. The fuel pump is apparently the original and I plan to change it (along with whatever rubber hose which I can reach without dropping the fuel tank) soon, but good grief -- one week earlier, we towed a trailer up the side of a mountain with it without so much as a hiccup!
Suggestions?
