So, I'm a bit uncertain of how long my 66 car sat before I obtained it. But I know for sure it was atleast 3 years. How many times it was ran, I'm not sure.
Anyhow, after a small carb mishap (some of you may have seen my other thread), I noticed when I tore the carb down there was a significant amount of green algae type contaminents in the carb.
Fuel had a varnish type smell to it, so I'm going to assume that there was some bad gas in there. It had eaten through the diaphram of the accelerator pump.
Can I just add fresh fuel to compensate with a sea foam cleaner additive, and maybe some stabil?
Drain the tank and refill? Is there a drain plug in the stock tank?
Or replace the whole dang thing?
Tank looks to be in good condition as far as I know.
Thanks for all the help VMF!
