Hi Henry,

If it makes you feel better remember what I initially wrote some weeks 
back, the fuel pump package is a messy job.  It looks easy enough but, 
always seems to present a number of problems.  Hopefully, you will find 
the rest of the task less of an issue. If yet another problem crops up, 
don't be too surprised.  Most everything else on the general maintenance 
of the 126 is easier.  Most of my issues have been due to rust in this 
one area of the MB.

Take care,
Dick
