Re: R1100RT WILL start!

["Murray Olson" <mdolson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have another suggestion,  At my 600 mile service, I had them install the
"quick release" fittings on the fuel lines.  I now have over 40K miles and
am doing my own servicing.  What the mechanic did was install each line
opposite the other.  In other words, when you disconnect both you have a
female and male fitting on the right and on the left.  Makes it REAL easy to
see what goes with what, and also much easier than clamping lines, etc.
Just a thought, works great for me.
