Till then, maybe a bit of advice.
I posted a bit of my story on the intro thread, ie barn find.
I completed the prelimanary things after looooong storage such as fresh oil/filt after turning by hand......verifying rings weren't hung up, and wanted to lift some oil up before spinning it with the starter.
There were no issues, disabled ignition and spun it a bit, oil pressure came up (well the gauge that apparently isn't said so)
Pulled 10 gallons of very old fuel and put ten gallons of fresh into it.
Reconnected and lo and behold, it lives.
BUT, within a minute it was so fat it was blowing black smoke and sooting the concrete.
I found that it seems to run quite well (hasn't yet been driven...brake work, ie rusty rotors need attention) as long as the MAF is disconnected.
Pulled the filter lid and the MAF screen held no surprises (kinda hoping for a spider web or something)
So, since I don't have a manual yet my question is, Is this consistent with a failed MAF and is there a test proceedure for same?
If there is a proceedure, would anyone post the process and values?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
