Re: New member, new project
So I starting a bit of a check-out and some testing, Ran a compression check only to find it was very low, as in 0 on 3 cylinders and max of 50 PSI. A couple or shots of oil helped and a bit of penetrating oil and now I have some compression across the board. I figure if I can get it to hit a few licks it can only get better. With that as a goal I started looking at the fuel system, as you can see, the gas was the color of root beer and smelled dead. I tried to pull the drain plug on the tank to no avail. Set up a 12 volt pump and used a jump-it box to pump about 2 gallons of root beer, put 1 gallon of fresh gas and repeated this 3 times. I think it should be good enough to fire it off, time will tell. Final picture is new fuel compared to whats coming out of tank now.
More later.
