[Amc-list] 66 Ambo compression/unstuck valves

["Duane Hacking" <dhacking@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom...I considered this also.  I only put about 2 gallons of gas in the
tank.  So what was in there wasn't diluted much.  Also, wow; you ought
to see the outside of the carb now.  After pouring so much sea foam down
its throat; it dissolved a bunch that was in it too and seeped out
around and through the gaskets and ran down all over the manifold...man
that stuff looks just like burnt molasses.  Carb needed rebuilt anyhow;
but it sure does give one a perspective of what must have been going on
in the combustion chambers.  Wonder if it even might have damaged the
fuel pump...will know that soon.

I'm not taking any chances though, that tank is coming out.  I thought
about taking a bore scope home from work to look down the filler neck
once I get what little fuel is left in there; but after all this mess,
I'm not taking that chance.
