    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Issues with cyl #2 not running

  • Thread starter Thread starter DrImodium

I took the compression tester back to Autozone today and thought about possible issues that could cause the problems Im having and Ive come to a conclusion: Rust on the inside of the tank. When I got home, I measured out 2 cups of fuel that was taken directly out of my tank via the petcock. I then ran that gas through a coffee filter. I was shocked by how many particles were caught in the filter. I pulled my carbs off and took them all apart. #2 was the worst but #3 also had a lot of particles sitting in the float bowls and the fuel passages. What is the best method for REMOVING particles/pieces that are currently sitting in the bottom of my tank? I tried flushing it out with water but that didnt work. Im hoping there is something that can dissolve what is in there so it can be flushed out and then I can coat with Por-15. I know Por-15 has a tank coating kit which I assume has chemicals that will prep the inside of the tank but is there anything OTC from a major retailer that I can get to clean some of my other tanks I have and some nuts and bolts?

Go get some CLR. A fair bit of it. Put it in your tank undiluted. Shake the tank a couple times a day, leave CLR in for at least two days.

Wash out with water, and immediately put a bunch of alcohol in. Drain again. More alcohol, drain again.

Reinstall the petcock.

Fill immediately with fuel.
