I had posted that my water pressure gauge would not function. I made a STARTLING
discovery that could help everyone. I found the kink in the water pressure line at the bundle that comes out of the engine. When the engine is raised or lowered, the cables shift and crimped the water pressure hose and prevented the water from reaching the gauge. I cut the cable tie and ran a weed-whacker line through the disconnected water pressure tube and it STUCK right at the point the bundle was tied, coming out of the engine!!! Must be a common problem. Hope it helps!!! So, I just have to find out how to free that hose from the bundle or shift its position so it does not kink when the engine is raised/lowered. Happy as a pig in ----now!!!
