OK.........73 that hasn't started in 15 years........already drained the gas 'n' put in new high octane gas with some seafoam..................I was thinking of adding some seafoam into the oil just to possible unstick maybe something that the oil comes into contact inside the engine...........is this a bad concept...........you never know where rust might lurk ('specially on a 914)..............any other suggestions to help me kick this thing over and bring it to life would be deeply appreciated.............THANKS

just revived my 70 that sat since 89 outdoors. replaced all the tires (one of em even had an inner tube!), replaced all of the rubber fuel lines but one- yesterday that one little piece broke and pissed fuel everywhere so now it has all new fuel lines. make sure all the wires are hooked up right (and yes evidently you need the CHT wire for it to run!) replaced the fuel pump cause it was seized. replaced leaky injectors. replaced battery, removed plugs put some 10-30 oil down cylinders turned it over in 5th gear by hand for a few minutes, put in new plugs. replaced rusty fuel tank and front fuel lines under tank. replaced fuel filter. replaced all vacuum hoses. bled brakes after making sure new master cylinder worked. replaced point, condensor, plug wires and coil, cap and rotor.
that's all i can think of for now- for the love of god replace every damn fuel line on it or you will regret it!!! |
