UPDATE: Fixed! 200 1993

So, I'm an idiot, there I said it!

After talking with a co-worked who is an ex-mechanic, we/I came to the conclusion that my problem was fuel related.

Tonight, I pumped out of the tank tonight 5 gallons of very, brown, nasty, and old gas. That emptied the tank. The good news through all of this is I now know I need a fuel level sender as mine is stuck at half full.

Once the old gas was out, I poured 5 fresh gallons in with some Stabilh in the tank. I then pumped it through one more time and then placed it back in the tank.

I put it all back together and it popped off, but still ran like crap.

I then dumped a container of Berryman's injector cleaner in the tank and got the engine running. It took awhile but all the injectors and cylinders starting coming back around. It may take a while for it all to come back and settle down, but it lives again.

I will not let this happen again as this was very frustrating.

Plan now is to finish up with some more minor tasks and get this puppy registered and on the road so I can enjoy it.

Thanks to everyone for all of your advice and help.

Regards,

Matt
