Thanks for the great explanation Scott. This vehicle had been sitting for three years with a full tank of gas in it.
It started right up but runs like crap under load. When you mentioned adding good gas to it and burning it off slowly did you mean just keep adding to it until you've done a complete transfusion to get rid of it or did you mean after you've pumped all this crap out of the tank? Lenny
