I have put a LOT of work into this car, a lot more than anyone in their right mind would have, considering the large amount of rust when I got it. The funnest part would have to have been removing the dash to pick up the pieces of the wiper linkage and reassemble them. Then of course there was the gasoline soaking I got daily trying to get the fuel pump to behave.
I have my own 240 that is in much better shape but still crying for attention and needs some work. My father has a '91 245 that is currently on jack stands while the brakes/calipers/lines are being replaced.
I do not have time to fool with a car that should've been a parts car from the start.
I LIKE the K-Jet, it's easy to understand and fun to work on. And nothing makes me happier than to keep old 240's on the road. But I'm trying to sell the car and have already put twice what it's worth into it. I don't know about you, but I can't afford to spend another couple hundred dollars in parts to make it run a little smoother, then sell it at a loss. If it is not a cheap and easy fix, and no one wants to take it off my hands and do the tinkering themself - I live in yuppieton where no one would be seen in anything older than 3 years - then all I can afford to do is part it out and use the parts to keep running the 240's I actually drive. If I was keeping the car to drive, I would put any amount of work and all the money I had into it, but I'm not.
However, since the fellow on the other thread just started pulling crap at random to replace with no understanding of any of it, I think I'll study the problem and see if it's an easy fix, such as cleaning the throttle plate perhaps.
And yes, it would seem Seafoam is not the magic fix that it claims.
