best thing to clean out the fuel tank is fresh fuel of the same type - remove tank from chassis along with associated pipe work, 1/4 fill tank keep all openings and pipes sealed, shake well until all sludge becomes fluid, blow down pressure pipe from exhaust and drain via feed pipe - repeat until clean (should work first time really)
Engine wise, remove from chassis (preferably) remove exhaust, plugs and squirt a little clean fuel in all holes, turn over by hand - after fuel has gone through engine, resistance will drop a little due to fresh lubrication - hold engine plug hole down and continue to hand turn sludge and gunk should come out / re-assemble engine (and preheat if possible) then start and let tickover until warm before gunning it...then turn up Feb 20th to race!
All of the above can be done whilst still in buggy - but just makes job harder! |
