Thor might be fixed?

With Beast leaking oil out front and rear main seals, needing tires, and closing in on 500k miles. Beast needs work to keep him going. Mark suggested to try looking into Thor. Luckily my fuel pressure test gauge made it and was intact and undamaged. I checked the fuel pressure key on, engine off, barely 7 to 8 PSI of fuel pressure. Now start the engine, the fuel pressure drops to 2-3 PSI with WOT stab of the throttle. Ugh! Now I pulled the check ball and spring and did my typical spring mod bending the last coil to block the ball from getting in the coil. Now shimmed it with two washers. Barely made 10 PSI. The grid heater light is off. I'm going to replace all the fuel filters see if it improves the pressure and stability.

A simple job like this should be much more than a few minutes to fix. When your tools are all scattered and the box is in ruins. We are still missing sockets and tools in the dirt of the yard. Highly frustrating to spend nearly an hour to find 1 socket, 1 ratchet, and just take the fitting out and modify a spring. Absolutely frustrating!

Let's see if Thor holds up now. Time and mileage will tell!
