I thought I had the problem with the Jeep fixed. But it persists.
I was driving it around the subdivision and stopped at the Lucier residence at the southern end. While talking to Larry Lucier, the engine conked out and it wouldn't restart. Prior to this, it seemed to be running fine. It is not the fuel pump as it was working and we tried to avoid flooding the carburetor.
The efforts to restart ran the battery down and we tried several battery chargers, but the same problem would happen. It wanted to start, but couldn't for some reason. The battery is only two years old.
I was trying to avoid taking it to the mechanic's next month. Their vintage vehicle specialist was booked up when this all started a few weeks ago and I have to call them next month to get an appointment to bring it in.
My AAA membership had two tows left and I had to use one of them to tow the Jeep home. I have one left. But the good news is that the renewal kicks in August 31.
It took AAA about four hours to get the tow truck to me. It is definitely not like in L.A. when a truck usually arrives within 40 minutes.
