My dad bought this LWB brand new in 79. It has been sitting in a shed and not started in about 12 years. It is a Scottsdale and has a 305 engine with a 2 barrel Rodchester carb. 46,000 original miles on it.
I pulled it home yesterday and started on it. I drained all the gas out of the tank and put fresh in. I got it started after sitting for 12 years. It runs pretty rough (wont idle and backfiring through the carb.) and still has all the factory emissions crap on it.
Can i just take all the vaccumn lines off of the EGR, charcoal canister etc. and plug them at the carburator?
I know i have other fuel/carb. issues that i gotta deal with but i would like to delete all this stuff if i can.
It also may have a worn cam lobe but i will have to check into that futher.
Trying to upload some photos with no luck.
