So it finally made it home with me. After the test drive didn’t go “perfectly” the PO insisted he take the truck to his new shop and get it right before I took it. Let’s just say if you are in Raleigh NC and want to hear about a terrible experience,inquire with me and I’ll fill you in. After about two weeks I finally had enough and limped the thing home myself.
After finding the shop had in fact not drained the varnished fuel, I flushed the tank with e85(really great cleaner). I believe I still have a carburetor issue but I haven’t been able to diagnose anything yet. Unfortunately it’s been raining ea evening and I’ve only tinkered with it a few minutes at a time. It’s pretty complete and completely rusty but I love it so far.
