All, I had asked for some suggestions on why my van I just refurbished would not run. It had ran great for a little bit then just wouldn't idle and eventually would not even restart. A lot of people had suggested to check gas(thanks everyone for your suggestions). I kinda put that away as not possible because I just removed the tank, replaced the lines and gaskets. Well, it was the gas. I went to mow the lawn with some gas from the same can I used to fill the van. Well, my mower acted just like my van. So I put some super and drygas in my van. Cranked it for a few minutes and she fired right up. Runs pretty good now. Feeling pretty stupid in Mystic, CT Bill M |
