Hey guys...
So, i'll be spending spring break on the farm, and i really want to get my dang tractor going...
Theres just one problem...
The carb is all messed up now. Last summer, i payed some lowlife in dayton to clean and seal my gas tank for the thing...
He skipped the cleaning part and went straight to the sealing. Which diddnt work. So basicially i paid someone $100 to pour a $20 can of redkote in my tank and spread it around. I was furious. I still am.
Not only is my gas tank ruined, but the stuff (supprisingly... who saw this coming?) all came loose and clogged up my carb. The gas was orange.
I dont know what to do here, i dont know how to rebuild a carb, and i cant even find a rebuild kit for this brand new $200 model. I think im screwed. I have a couple old zeniths and marvel carb laying around, but i cant rebuild them.
Any ideas??
And, it was a really, really stupid thing to do, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. I added a little of this orange gas to my ranger's fuel, thinking if i diluted it enough with good, regular, not orange gas it would be fine. I was wrong.
Now my truck doesnt work.
I replaced the relays, and fiddled with that crash-reset thing, and it still wont work. I cant hear the fuel pump kick on.
So i guess i need a new gas tank, a new fuel pump, and new sending unit? I dont know what that is, but i know it is before the filter, so its probablly shot.
How do i know none of this stuff made it through the filter and clogged my lines/ injectors/ whatever??
I dont think i can afford this stuff, do i call him up, tell him what happened and threaton him with a lawyer or what?? Id think this is definatially grounds to sue someone...
And, can i just blow out the fuel lines before the filter?? Id think so, but with my luck, thered be some reason not to.
