[Korn, Bob]

What was the source of your misfire, I have been chasing one as well.

I decided to drop my new reservoir into the 92 this morning after 
finding and fixing an intermittent missfire. For those with brown, aging 
reservoirs consider replacing them pretty soon. They are brittle and can 
fail with little notice. I had epoxied a crack on the top of this one 
already, but when I started to remove it the 'large hole' connection on 
the bottom broke right off with little or no effort. This is the second 
one that has failed on me - and at the same place. They will usually 
start leaking to the tune of a refill a week - but investigate and 
you'll find it comes apart in pieces in your hands. Yes, you can epoxy 
it back together but its brittle - it will turn right around and fail on 
you again. BTDT X 2...

PN 441-121-403, price from Clair $71.25. Price from Audiconnection about 
15 bucks cheaper.
