I though that with the 76 BMW I'm working on. I topped the tank with new gas and it still would not run after draining the carbs.

The gas smells like gas but won't even burn with an open flame!

Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com 256-656-1924

Go with 50/50 mix of fresh gas/old gas and it'll run fine.
