ridejunky said:Pinging, by its very nature is indicative of the insidiousness malfeases within the bowels of the energy transforming unit. the resulting physical deformation of the primary mechanical entity pales in comparison to the potential catastrophic collateral damage that will likely occur if the primary cause of the pinging goes undetermined and unrectified. Kentuckifed engineering is no solution to the malfeases, utilize proper resolution techniques to ensure reliable performance when venturing out in the abyss.
ws6transam said:The fuel filter is there because I put that "Blue Lightning" tank sealer into my plastic fuel tank. Unfortunately it doesn't work on plastic tanks, no matter what anyone says. My extensive surface preparation efforts were all in vain. There's no way to get that stuff to stick to a used fuel tank. I was hoping to keep the vapors from discoloring the plastic and bubbling the tank decals, but it failed miserably. As a result, I now get little green flakes of tank sealer in the fuel which play heck on the needle/seat and jetting. The fuel filter is necessary until I find and replace the tank. I can't justify spending $500 for a new one.[/QUOTE]
no offense but how much did you spend on this rebuild? how about if you flushed the tank out well to get the gas and vapors out , threw a handfull of B-Bs or ball bearings and borrowed the local hardware stores paint shaker for a bit? and then reflushed to get the debris out?
Just think I need to re-quote this. This post is exactly correct.julien_d said:Put a new piston in it. I'd be surprised if the cylinder doesn't need a re-plate as well. Should go without saying that you need to fix your jetting. Pinging is bad....
