Thanks to Mary Lou for Sending this
one!
Dear Walter at the advice desk:
I hope you can help me here. The
other day I set off for work leaving
my husband in the house watching the
TV as usual. I hadn't gone more
than a mile down the road when my
engine conked out and
the car shuddered to a halt. I walked
back home to get my husband's
help. When I got home I couldn't
believe my eyes. He was parading in
front of the wardrobe mirror dressed
in my underwear and high-heel
shoes, and he was wearing my make up.
I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have
been married for twelve years.
When I confronted him, he tried to
make out that he had dressed in my
lingerie because he couldn't find his
own underwear. But when I asked
him about the make up, he broke down
and admitted that he'd been
wearing my clothes for six months. I
told him to stop or I would leave
him.
He was let go from his job six months
ago and he says he has been
feeling increasingly depressed and
worthless. I love him very much,
but ever since I gave him the
ultimatum he has become increasingly
distant. I don't feel I can get
through to him anymore. Can you please
help? Sincerely, Mrs. Sheila Lusk
Dear Sheila:
A car stalling after being driven a
short distance can be caused by a
variety of faults with the engine.
Start by checking that there is no
debris in the fuel line. If it is
clear, check the jubilee clips
holding the vacuum pipes onto the
inlet manifold. If none of these
approaches solves the problem, it
could be that the fuel pump itself
is faulty, causing low delivery
pressure to the carburetor float
chamber. I hope this helps.
