History, coach had big overhaul done in 2013. It probably included cleaning the tanks. THen it sat for seven years. It probably had full tanks during that time.
So, i got it running, drained the old fuel and drove it. Went through the first fuel filter after 20 miles or so.
replaced both main filter and carb filter- another test drive and it seems to be clogged again after 15 miles or so.
First, could it be something else?
It starts and runs pretty well. gets up to speed and slowly looses power. If I give it gas it bogs down. If I go slow (like 40) for a few miles then I can give it gas get up to 55 briefly.
I have not touched the carb. it was new/rebuilt with the 2013 rehab.
So, what do i need to know to drop the tanks and what are my options after that? Is there a treatment for the inside of the tank?
Also, which is main/which is aux?
thanks
