last time i started it was in 2001 has mabe 2gal of gas in tank was wondering if i will need to flush out lines and carb ?? it is a 89 ram d50 2.o motor is the orgianl. but needs valve seals.that is why it has been setting.
THIS GOING TO BE MY PROJECT TO SAVE ME FROM BUYING ANOTHER TRUCK

THANKS FOR ANY HELP

LOVNTREE

BUMP

Carb is going to need a good cleaning at the least....I'd go ahead and replace the fuel pump, the fuel line coming off the fuel pump to the carb and the fuel filter all at once...

THANKS
WHAT do you think i should use to clean out with?? and i will be taking off the tank and flushing it out with laq thiner and letting it air out for a few weeks does that sound good?

I wouldn't think you'd need to do that to the tank, just drain the old gas out of it...Berryman's Chemtool should do the trick...

OK I sure THANK YOU for any and all info
like i said THIS GOING TO BE MY PROJECT TO SAVE ME FROM BUYING ANOTHER TRUCK
it is small but i don't need a big truck

thanks

If the engine has seized up from sitting, PM me and I'll let you know what to do...

I'd also go ahead and change the plugs and oil/oil filter while you're working on your project list...

i have two cars so i can take my time doing this . now i need a good shop in fort worth to do the valve job . the reason i am getting a valve job is cause the valve seals were leaking and need replaceing

I don't know any mechanics in Fort Worth...I know of one in Cleburne, but that's probably too far for you...

It's best to take your time on something like this so you can be sure to get it done right...

i was planing on replacing the oil/oil filter and have the rad checked or replaced if needed. nice thing is the trans is manuale
and the cluth stuff replaced just 2 years before .

i have all winter.

need to go thanks for now

will keep you informed

i would remove the tank and flush it if its been sitting that long. rust will build up in it over time and break loose once you start driving it. all hoses are probably dry rotted, and will need replaced. (fuel lines, rad hoses, vacuum hoses off the carb). it can be done, but will require lots of time to get it back into reliable condition.

THAT is what i was thinking will try to get under this weekend and start checking stuff . do you think laq thiner or chemtool put a bottle in and slush around sounds good ??
