Anyone having gas related problems this year (more so that others)? We expanded/repainted the shop. Pulled all of the cars out in mid November. They have been on battery tenders in a heated storage area. I was able to move everything back in last week. Cars that have been as reliable as a Honda for years now either failed to start, and/or have serious gas leaks. Last time the ’60 Morris sat for 2 years and started right up. This time it sat 2 months and I had pull the jets and “ungunk” everything. I have seriously stuck floats on some (SU’s) and one where the 2 year old seal for the gas gauge sender just disengreated. Everything gets driven or at least started a couple times a month. Most probably have gas in them from as far back as August/September. I am pissed. I cant ever get the 914 done as I seem to always be dicking with something else.
Anyone experienced anything like this? |
