I wrapped the fuel line with DE heat sheath this morning. I'm hoping that the shit ethanol fuel will either blend in or get treated with the Lucas ethanol additive.
This is the second carburetor I've out in this thing. First was one I bought from AutoZone was a reman with a year warranty which would still be affect, and the one on the engine now is reman from O'Reilly's, with a 90 day warranty which expired about 4-5 months ago.
The "mechanic" that installed the O'Reilly's carb said, "If I were you, I'd get rid of that junk from AutoZone. I don't know why anybody would buy anything from them." Everybody that I told that I was going to have my car worked on by the "mechanic"
would say; "Oh yeah. He really know's his stuff. He'll get you taken care of". Didn't prove a fucking thing to me. Would've been better off attempting it myself.
If I had stayed with the AZ carb, I would still be able to get an exchange it for another one. Now I'll either have to buy another or have this one rebuilt- again.
