sorry to bump the old thread I am going to drop the tank and clean it out .. as blowing with air is getting tiresome. any tips/suggestions for a non-mechanic who hasn't done this before?

I'm certainly no mechanic, but found the LP an easy job. The 5/8 flare wrench helps some too. I put the LP for a '93 on my '98.. seems an improvement.

ain't that the truth:laughing: I'm just relieved to be able to move on to the little things on the truck that need fixing. -blower motor for heater/ac -rails for power windows -wiper circuit board and start my jar of pennies for when the IP really does go.

If I had known about the 2stroke oil thing, I'd of been running it all along. It's not like I don't have it laying around for the ATV(Polaris 350L) and chainsaw... she's never been so quiet.. ty again gents and ladies. I've run her up and down the road a few times, harder .. much harder than...

I wasn't able to pick up a gauge.. grr.. damn small town Ontario.. however, I did blow some air back up through the sock in the tank. drove it to the closest gas station for me, about 15mins of driving at 80-90km/hr put half a quart of 2stroke oil and filled her up.. I put most of the other...

TY very much folks. I am heading into town in the AM and intend to purchase the vac/pressure gauge to test fuel pressure. I've a bit more reading to do to figure out where to hook it up.. Plan to blow air through the tank sock to see if I can get things back to normal... for awhile. It...

My wire is long enough, but I live in the bush and feared it getting smashed up by rocks or chunks of ice. Its running barely, but no response from throttle.. sometimes it feels like it wants to catch.. but just can't in various spot through throttle travel. It finally stalled as I...

This last time it happened.. there was a point where the speedo was locked at 60km/hr, the tach also seemed frozen, and she was barely chugging at idle, if that is familiar to anyone.

ty folks, this gives me a few more things to think about. I am able to idle to 2000rpm, and bring it down slow, but takes a very gentle foot till down near 1600.. then she is very easy to bring down. The FSD is remoted by the front of the drivers side wheelwell..behind a battery. The...

ah, sorry 98 chevy 2500 4x4 ext cab/short box no check engine light is coming on I'll have to have a buddy check for codes stored.. if any. no smoke to speak of.. other than cold winter starts when I don't plug her in long enough. no change in smoke that I can see..at least

yikes, I've been fearing that one.. :( ballpark figures for a new/rebuilt pump? and I doubt I can install it myself..

This problem is getting on my nerves and I could use some suggestions as to what to try next.. The truck starts and runs great, after sitting all night. The trip to town is about 40 mins.. starts acting up just around that long. Will miss and fish bite a bit.. if I don't let it cool...
