[Rovernet] P5 running problem.

[peter king]

Thanks for that thought, Tom. I rebuilt the booster a few years ago, but the lines were good at the time. It’s time to do a thorough check of those as well. I’ve been focused on the 3500s for a few years, and the P5 has not been getting her due respect.

In nearly every case they were brittle, cracked, and leaking badly, requiring major adjustments the carburetors to try (and almost always fail) to overcome that large vacuum leak.
