Greetings from Reisterstown, MD. We are brand new owners in need of some
advice...if you have time to read our tale and make suggestions to the
mechanic, I'll be grateful!
Last weekend, we bought a 1976 Eleganza II from a mechanic in Erie, PA. It
passed PA inspection and we took it for an hour-long, issue-free test drive.
When we got into some stop and go traffic in Pittsburgh, it stopped running.
We tried switching to auxiliary gas tank and it still didn't run. So,we had
it towed away. The mechanic to whom we towed it said it started right up
for him. We asked him to give it a good head-to-toe look and he gave it a
clean bill of health.
Yesterday, my husband flew to Pittsburgh to drive it home. He hit some
traffic, it died. He waited, restarted it, and it ran. Then, on 68, in the
hills of WV, it died. And did not restart. So, now it is with a mechanic
in WV.
Some other facts to consider:
We know that it sat for a long time, unused, before the mechanic we bought
it from aquired it.
A friend who was following our beautiful new coach commented that the
exhaust looked rust-colored.
All thoughts/ideas will be greatly appreciated. We just want to get it home
so we can learn about it and gear up for our first family outing!!!
Gratefully,
Lissa Caltrider
