This "little" issue left me stranded on the side of HWY 62 between Meeker and Prague for 5 hours last Sunday night.
Looks like a bad diode...
Good news is it was under warranty and only cost me a belt to get it running again.
The tow bill back to OKC was a different story though........
Those weekend after hours rates are a doosy.....

Looks like your spark tube belt ran out of oil. Sorry man. Those aren’t cheap
You need more friends that can tow you home with a rope.
Friends and relatives call me all the time if I am home to go fix their stuff or drag them home.
Probably know I will always have something that runs.

Yep would have had to do the Jeb Clampet tow company myself!!
Bel Air Towing is what my son calls mine even though it is a 210.
While doable, 50 miles, through traffic, at night, is a bit much for a rope....
Insurance should reimburse about 1/2. So all in, I'll be out about $300 for the tow and repairs.
Now I just need to find some replacement vacuum lines. When the belt went it snapped one of the hard plastic lines. I have it patched together with some stiff rubber fuel hose atm, but not sure how long that will hold up. I can't seem to locate any replacements though. Anyone know where to find them for a 92 Chevy C2500 w/ 350 TBI?

Ouch! That hurts.
I recently had a bad alternator leave me stranded in MWC at 2am. Fortunately I was with my cousin in his own car so we pushed it into a business parking lot and he gave me a ride to Shawnee and back the next day to fix it after picking up parts on the way. Without his help I would have been out a lot more money than I was.
Whoops. Looks like an AAA or Good Sams membership would pay for itself several times over.
