My 72 RR has been sitting since the carb fire last aug. Is there a chance it's still good. I think there was half a tank left.

My car has been sitting with 1/4 tank since last spring. I went out last weekend and it fired right up. If you can siphon some out and try it in a lawn mower, that is if you can't run it in your car because of your carb. You may get lucky and be able to still use it.

It's hard to say one way or the other. It's probablly OK, but I had a heck of a time with a Cordoba a few years back. I bought it with a 318 and a blown 904. It had been sitting a while before I bought it. I swapped in a warmed over 360 but could not get it to start. I tried everything I could think of and nothing would work. For some reason I sprayed some starting fluid down the carb and it fired right away. I felt soooo stupid for not checking it right away.
