So, for the past 6 weeks i have been cleaning the idle 55 jets on my two weber 40s 30mm vents. Ive cleaned out the clear jelly from the tank to were the car is drivable but cannot get it to last more than about 20 miles when the webers develops poor idle transition. The mains 130 run fine. All plugs are a light tan. After i cleaned the tank it does drives much better, but it stills does not rev through the idle circuit properly after every carb cleaning and a 20 mile drive. I'm just pumping more gas/water into my tank.
I seem to be in an impossible situation since after only two fill ups, I can see the water droplets in the bottom of the tank, again. The car runs great after i blow out the idle jet and mixture circuit. In fact i can tell which jet is clogged just by twirling it's mixture needle and not getting an engine rpm response at engine idle. So, can someone respond, please, with how they are dealing with this ethanol fuel? my search is leading me to a boating marine solution, maybe. Frank in RI 73 2.0 stock with webers |

P.S. the dealer wanted about $600 to drop the gas tank. We fixed the problem with an old piece of garden hose.
Cut a piece of old hose long enough to reach the bottom of your fuel tank and a few extra feet Insert hose all the way to the bottom Blow into hose; Don't suck. You will have to tape off opening around hose to trap air and create and build air pressure. Once you have enough pressure, the fuel will back flush into the hose and flow out of the hose Collect the fuel and see how much water is mixed in. She had about 50 % gas 50 % water Refill with fresh premium fuel and pour in additive that removes water contamination. Repeat a few times. After a few fill ups the truck was just fine. |
