I found on my 6 that had sat for 25 years that the gas had turned to Jelly in the fuel pump and carbs. The gas in the gas tank was pourable not jelly.
I have no idea where to start on this 1970 1.7 that sat in a hot garage in The San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles No battery in it. I do have the key. I looked on the search and could not find anything but I may be asking wrong because I thought before I had read someone said to put oil in the cylinders and let then soak a while. Why that makes sense on a water-cooled V-engine I do not see how that would get any oil on the top of the side aimed up. What do you guys think? Thanks for your help. Bob B |
