[SEL] DELCO LIGHT PLANT HELP NEEDED

[cgandree at mchsi.com]

Alan,
If yours is a Model 850 could you please take a look at the fuel line going into the tank and see if there is supposed to be some sort of check valve.  Or any one else that has that model.
thanks,
Curt Andree

I really hated to buy mine but my friend wanted to sell it.
It is just like the one he grew up with.
He had such a wonderful group of stories to tell folks.
If I hadn't bought it someone else surely would have.

Thanks folks. Now I'm going to have to dig it out and see about seeing if it will run.   I've had it for quite a while and can't remember that much about it.

Yes Dave, Mine uses a six Volt battery to start it.
I should have mentioned that.
