Hopefully that's not over your leach field

Old tech ... I remember the x-ray glasses advertised in the back of comic books ... (Right next to the one-man submarines) LOL

You and your wife have my deepest condolences. It may sound trite, but he really is in a better place now.

If algae, pour in Biobor to kill & try polishing the fuel in the tank. Look at Boat videos for DIY polishing systems (basically a 12v fuel pump/filter/lines) & run that stirring up the tank. Here's one option:

Hats off to you. Between ABSOLUTELY hating electric gremlins and the trend towards more & more electrical/electronic components in the late 70's ... I finally quit working on cars for a living in 1980. You have WAY more patience than me.

Good luck with that saatva. I wound up with 2 (one taking up space in the garage)... wife bought one in CA that was OK, if a little soft & "hot" for my taste. When we bought a house in FL, ordered a second one based on the first. Could not sleep on it as it was way too soft & I could barely...

After checking all the above ... What is the voltage reading at the fuse panel? same as at Battery? I had a similar issue caused by the Hot side wiring, specifically, corrosion at the 100 Amp main fuse. Battery read 12.6V, fuse panel showed 5V.

Bought the LS in Colorado at estate auction (got to transfer the Warranty), the Kubota in Texas at auction, & the Cat in Georgia at auction. All used in FL. No problems with any of them.

check the fuel pickup tube in the tank for a hole/corrosion/crack.

what is the actual voltage reading at the key switch & fuse panel? same as at battery?

In your leak4 pic. Maybe my eyes, but it looks like light is showing between the gutter and the fascia. If that gapping is happening along the length, that could be how you're getting water behind the fascia and into the soffit.

How much will the dam project cost? Have them escrow that cost to reimburse you for time and materials, then increase your offer by 1/4 - 1/2 that amount.

Fuel solenoid operating properly? Do you have an electric fuel pump on that model? is that working? Intake screen plugged in tank? Vent? Will it start if you loosen the fuel cap? If all that checks out, maybe try bleeding the lines again?

You & your wife have my deepest sympathies for the recent loss of her mother and the ongoing struggles with her father.

The problem with roof leaks is that while you may see water evidence from below at say a seam between plywood panels, the leak could actually be higher up on the roof & traveling over/under the underlayment until it finds a break to the seam. I wish you lots of luck, but if the roof was fine...
