Engine problem?

[RICK LAKE]

abram99768 I think you will fine that the rubber hoses where wet at one point and then dryed and wet again. The main problen is that the new gas is eating the rubber and causing small partials to get through you gas filters and into the carb. Methanol gas eats rubber. Have had the same problem with my jeeps,79TA and chainsaw motors with not running well at idle. It's the gas having lunch. You need to replace the lines with resistant hoses to methanol. Install a new fuel filter with a 10-15 micron reading. Clean out all the fuel lines that are steel. IF the gas tank is easy to pull, clean this too. This winter for storage, full tank with stablizer, but remove and drain the carb of gas. A couple of guys have also had problem with these carbs because of the coatings in them flaking or silver partials in the bottom of the blows or in the float needle that stops gas from getting to the bowls. It's the coating or sealer they use and it gets into the idle curcuits and cause the same problem you are having. Also becareful when blowing out the carb. 100 psi can also push the junk into the idle curcuits and cause more problems than you want. A good set of jet drill bits are not cheap but do help remove and debrie. One good gas filter should be all you need. IMO keep the filter in the back of the car to reduce heat soaking of the fuel when the temps are hot both inside and out side of the car. Rick L.
