I'm about an hour outside my previous failure location (transmission failure), now north of Harrisonburg VA..

Was driving along fairly happily when then temp sensor dropped to below C. I had been watching, but am not sure if it went high immediately before. Oil gauge was bouncing around a bit, but mostly hovering slightly below 1/2.

I stopped at a rest area to take a look, infrared says the engine is 200* or so on the top of the block. Within normal range, though it feels darn hot as I am presently sitting on the hatch cover.

Coach now won't restart. I'm waiting for it to cool down, and hoping for better luck. The carb throat is wide open and won't close by hand. Starter fluid evaporates off the carb immediately.

Oh yeah, and it's pouring rain.

Anything else I should try while I wait?
