IS GIVEN, WHEN I RELEASE MY BRAKE TO PROCEED THE POWERTRAIN MAKES A LOUD THUMP, THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME....SECOND THE WASHER SPRAYERS ON THE HOOD DO NOT SPRAY THE WINDSHEILD.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
IF RUNNING WITH BOTH TANKS FULL, AND WOULD SWITCH TO THE REAR TANK, FUEL OVERFLOWS IN FRONT TANK. A MALFUNCTION CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY CAUSES A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO BE RETURNED TO THE SECOND TANK. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE CAPACITY OF THE SECOND TANK CAN BE EXCEEDED, CAUSING FUEL SPILLAGE. *AK
