Re: Winter car work 2018
That is quite a list. Lots more than I do.
Suggestions. Check differential fluid. Repack wheel bearings/seal replacement if needed. Service Fuel System Check for Gas Shutoff Valve leakage. Flush and completely Drain Gas Tank. Clean - Pencil filter, Gas bowl and screen, Carb Filter. Drain Carb Bowl. Fill Tank with non gasohol Gas mixed with Marine Stabil. Check Float level. I assume your steering wheel mounts to the Dash on your 31, if not update it. Check/Clean/Gap Spark Plugs. Check Rotor Gaps. As long as you have got the radiator off and are changing the head gasket backflush the Block/head, visually check for rust/scale. Change over to Antifreeze for storage if you are running water in the summer. |
