I fired up most of the engines
sitting around the house a couple of days ago including
the Changs.
I drained the old gas from the string trimmer, chainsaw,
mower, etc. and added it to the CJ because it has a
sediment bowl to catch the water and other winter nasties
from the other engines. With its low compression ratio,
it tends to deal better with ultra low octane
hand-me-down gas.
After flushing the fogging oil from the cylinders to the
crankcase using gasoline, I lightly oiled the cylinders
with synthetic and it fired right up.
Of course the breather oil trap was soon belching nasty
gas/oil goo out the drain hole, but it settled down and
everything seems to be good to go for spring.
Nothing beats a sediment trap for keeping the bad stuff
out of the carbs. |
