[QUOTE="mcgovern61, post: 186001, member: 59"] Round 1! :builder: Puts some air in the tires and rolled her to the back of the garage. Pulled the plugs and gave the engine a turn over by hand (turned nice and easy!) Oil actually looks brand new. Swapped the battery out of the '82, disconnected the gas line and spun the engine with no plugs. :shock: Gas flew everywhere!!! :oops: After going back and wiping down half of the items in the back of the garage to get the old stinky gas off everything, we put the plugs back in and tried a start. Only a few puffs. Next, I set up my lawnmower test tank with a hose connected to the fuel pump and tried again. Flooded out right away. Dropped the temp gas tank below the carbs, pulled the plugs and emptied the cylinders, and tried again with the tank raised a bit. Started right up!! :party: BUT, the smoke was awful! Talk about gas in the pipes! The gasoline was practically flowing directly from the carbs into the engine! We went through about 1/2 gallon of gas in 3 minutes of running at 3K RPMs. :hihihi: What did we learn? Carbs need a complete cleaning and rebuild, there are numerous exhaust leaks, the stator works fine, the engine is otherwise smooth! [/QUOTE]
