It is Alive !!!
Well, My 84 Euro model has sat for 1 1/2 years. Drained the gas, put on a new fuel filter just in case, and the dame thing only cranked over twice and fired right up. It is Alive.
I let it idle for about 10 minutes, seemed like the engine is running smooth, but it sounds kinda ruff running at the exhaust. Other than that its sounding good.
Now, i have to fix the 3 amp battery drain from somewhere i suspect the alternator diodes. ( checked on a new alternator and they are avaialbe at my local store, but the asked me which one, 75, 85, or 90 amp. Not sure, Anybody know what they mean ?
Also have to fix the dam transmission oil leek around the pan, had my local oil place change the gasket, but it keeps leaking, maybe the pan is bent a bit. I took it back twice, and they cant get it to stop. I guess ill have ot climb under it myself. Any suggestions ?
Other than that, glad its running again, got to get it registered and cant wait to drive her again.
