Any idea and suggestions on what to do and where to start would be awesome! From the information I've gathered the engine won't stay running once it's started. Maybe a air/fuel mixture problem? Planning to drain the fuel and add new soon. Does it need to be ethanol free? I'm seeing a 50:1 mix...
We have gotten the inside cleaned up! All the seats and the carpet are in great condition, so a BIG step in the right direction. We used a mild mixture of dawn, a very small amount of purple power, and some vinegar. Almost all the stains are gone and the dirt came right off. The pleather and...
Thanks for all the advice so far!!!
