Hey fellas:
Well, the good news is, I got it started. The bad news is is won't stay running. After sitting for 4 years, I changed all the fluids and filters (oil, gas, tranny), got the gas tank reconditioned, replaced plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, points and new battery. When I replaced the points, I didn't have it set correctly (cam wasn't even opening points - duh!), so I the set gap to .016" and hooked up the remote starter switch (as instructed - thanks!). Turned it over with switch (key turned on) and it started almost instantly!!! That made me really happy!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) It ran for about 30 seconds (a little rough) and then quit. I tried it again, and it started right up again. This time it didn't run as well or as long and quit again. I tried to start it about 10 more times and it started every time, but it seemed to stop running sooner and ran crappier, each time. If I let it sit for a while (5 minutes) it will start stronger and run longer, but still not stay running. If I try the accelerator pedal, it dies even sooner. I can't even get it to rev up before it dies. I have about 8 gallons of gas in the tank. I noticed a small almost transparent loooking hose (1/8" ID?) with a short length of rubber hose on the end of it just hanging there unconnected. I can't for the life of me, see where this hose should connect. It's coming from the botton of the engine compartment (thru a hole in the metal at the bottom), just to the left of the battery. Anyone got any ideas where this should hose go? Could this be a fuel line? Any other ideas? It seems like it might be a fuel problem now. Any help is appreciated. Sorry for long content. Hope you guys can shed some light... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |
