Jake in NY said: (quoted from post at 19:41:40 01/24/10) Finally got a chance to work on the M again today. Put the carb back on and discovered that I have weak spark so need new distributor and rotor. Pulled her around the place with the Oliver 550 and managed to make her run a few times, which makes today the first time the M has run in close to a decade which was awesome to finally hear her run again.
But, the fresh gas that I put in the tank quickly turned cloudy from all the rust inside the tank and it started pulling so much junk into the carb that the progress we made was quickly halted. So I need to remove the tank and clean it.
I have never done this before. My buddy said that I can put some sort of solvent in along with some chain or steel shot to loosen up the rust? Anyone have any experiences to share on the topic? Would love all the advice y'all have to give.
Thanks,
Jake
DO NOT put rocks, steel shot, or anything else in the tank. Any of those objects can and WILL become lodged behind the baffle and you will NOT be able to get them out.
