I pushed my car out of the garage and down the driveway to give it a bath. But I couldn't get it started to drive it back up. So it spent the day on an incline with the charger plugged in. Hours later its back in the garage.
BUT the dipstick is WAY over full and smells like gas. I suspect carb floats are not doing their jobs and let the gas tank just drain right into the engine. Or is a 25ish% incline too much for the floats to work properly? |
