Not sure I agree.

Been running the Ethanol (garbage?) for years.
My 76 truck and 77 van start right up after two pumps on the gas pedal.
Sets choke and adds fuel.
Sometimes they sit for months at a time.
Maybe it's the low compression but they always fire right up.

I have a 75 Cordoba that needs a shot of fuel dumped down the carb.
I think the Dobies trouble is sticking front brakes.
The heat created boils out the fuel after shut-down.

Come spring I'll do a brake job, then I'll know the outcome.


I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.
