Mine were Mubea's, a Piranha, and one new one from Belgium that was a total POS failure.

Yes, lift pump was bad, luckily. I upgraded to AirDogRaptor and all new fuel lines. Starts with a bump now.

Stuffing it all into the bag is the easy part. The hard part is getting it to come back out in a manner that's useful to you when you're 2000 ft in the air and approaching a planet at 120 mph.

Do I need to hook-up the switch to the engine or can I just connect the 2 wires by long, brown thing?
There was a few sparks when I cut some wires, but I don't think they went to anything. I hooked the 2 batteries together, but not sure if I did it right- do the red ones go together, or is it the black wires???
SOOOOOMEBODY PLEAAASE HELP !!!!

Funny, I had just the opposite problem. Pulled out about 110 lbs of wire, restarted bus, checked everything still worked that I needed, thought I was golden. Turned off key and engine kept right on going!!
Your last line was me exactly. Lucky my son-in-law used to be a diesel mech.

Ha- I bet you were pretty impressed with your skills- bus started right-up. 
...Go to turn it off...and you're sitting there waiting....maybe it's just "dieseling".
