It's not legal to drive a rental from Canada across the border. At least not a small truck. I know because I tried.
A few years back while coming through Canada, on the way home to New York, my diesel Ford F250 sprung a massive transmission leak. We just barely made it to the Best Western motel in London, Ontario. I had my wife, kid and a sick dog with us. Truck had a slide-on camper and was heavily loaded with gear.
So, what do you do? I decided to leave the truck behind. Maybe sell it "as is". Then rent a truck, put a my camper on it, and drive home.
To my surprise, it's not legal. Only way we were allowed to do was to rent two trucks. One in Canada. Then when we got to the NY border, we'd have to rent another truck in the USA and transfer all the gear, camper etc. Also required a lot of paperwork.
It had my head spinning and I gave up on that idea. I bought two 5 gallon pails of transmission fluid, left my family at the Best Western, and me and my dog drove all around the London area, leaving an oil slick everywhere we went. I finally found a small two-man transmission shop in London called the "Transmission Man." Really nice guys. They dropped all their scheduled appointments and worked on my truck until 7:00 PM that night. Then when all done, I tried to give each guy a $100 tip and neither would accept it. Those guys were great. Drove home the next day. Total repair on the E40D trans was $800, which is also amazing.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
