Tell that to the two blokes I've known who have run them and now sold them. The one was a mint ES, lovely truck, all the toys, he's now trundling about in a Series III which is gaining in value instead of costing him a fortune and letting him down.
Whatever you do, don't run it out of fuel either! If you do, read the manual and follow the instructions, you'll very probably need a spare battery too. They are an utter pig to get going again.
Pump the accelerator pedal 10 times i think it is and they will prime themselves up so shouldn't be too bad.
Was going to say, these things are a piece of piss to bleed....they have a lift pump? They bleed themselves, and fire RIGHT up....when lift pump stops on ignition on, as Frosty says, just pump the throttle 5 times, and it will cycle the lift pump for 30 seconds...motor will fire right up....
