Hopefully I've got the welding behind me.. I had some time this morn, so I bit the bullet, went to town and got 5gal of gas..poured it in the tank..hit the switch several times and primed the fuel system..
Nothing left but do it.. so I tried cranking it, it would hit a little, but never would fire.. fooled with it for about 20 min., still no crank.. there was a few ounces of gas left in the jug, as last ditch effort, I dumped it in the throttle...
hit the switch and it came to life.!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. for about 10 secs..Haha
So I'm betting the injectors are plugged ...at least that's my thinking..its been sitting for several yrs.
I looked into new acdelcos , oreillys wants $117 each.. I'm gonna pull these and see if i can clean them..I've got a new ultrasonic cleaner Im itching to try on them ..
That's cool Greg. We are going to need some video when it moves under its own power.
