Hey all, my name is Victor and i am 17. A while ago i had a old plymouth turismo, and this is when i didnt have me license, so another family member was driving it. All i remember is the head gasket needed replacement(which i can do now) and somebody also put sugar in the tank and its been jus sitting around, and i thought what the hell might as well have some fun.
Ok what I need to know is, what parts would i have to replace and or fix to get her running again? All i know is i already have to get a new gas tank, and the fuel filter will need to be replaced, spark plugs....and the carberator will need to be cleaned.
any idea how much the engine ran with sugar in the tank?
Rofl Water, Mos Def Do Not Use Water!!!! Use Carb Cleaner Spray. And U Usually Do It While Its Running, But U Can Do It Off Too. Only Problem Is By Doing It Off, Ur Risking The Chance Of Flooding The Carb.
so i only have to change the gas tank, and fuel filter and lines, and/or clean the lines.....and clean the carberator and the engine should start running?
I wouldnt see why it wouldnt...I have never seen what sugar does to the engine, but maybe it could eat the diaphram on the fuel pump, so it may need replaced. As long as the sugar didnt harm any internals (valves, pistons, bores) then i dont see why it wont start.
now i have no problem buying new lines and a new fuel filter, but gas tank will be a problem....is ther anyway i could test it with a bottle of gasoline?
maybe connect all the line into a small container with gasoline just to try it out?
Can someone please help me out with testing the engine without a gas tank?
