  • I bought this one-owner 1967 Mercury Commuter station wagon from its original owner last week. It had been sitting in his garage for over a decade. Now, my job is to bring it back around. Let's do this!

    The one real, indisputable beauty of working on an old Ford V8 engine: distributor located on the very front of the engine!

    Okay so the reason why your remote starter button failed.... It's because you're supposed to cross over the solenoid not go straight to the starter wire..... Next time try pouring gas in the float bowl vent so that you actually fill up the float bowl instead of just flooding the air horn that way it will idle for a minute...... You don't see all the metal in the tank because it all fell down in the fuel filler hose..... And if you want to know what's wrong will the fuel system blow down the fuel line to see if you hear bubbles in the tank.... If you don't it's a blocked fuel line or a pickup sock now replace that fuel pump and start that thing like you mean it

    You do have a fuel filter. It is the piece that the fuel line was attached to, to the carburetor. Also most likely the fuel in the tank has turned to varnish. You night want to try hooking your gas can to the fuel pump.

    If you haven't figured it out by now the fuel pump more than likely is shot,after an engine has sat for awhile the diaphragm inside is shot, I learned that from experience on a '73 International pickup I was working on almost thirty years ago.

      I figure I'll run the engine off of a boat tank and an electric pump for a few minutes to make sure everything sounds right. The next project it to remove the gas tank and clean it.

    Se não seguir os passos para funcionar um veiculo parado a muito tempo vc sofre à toa...
    1° trocar o óleo e filtro de óleo.
    2° retirar às velas e colocar WD nos pistões para não quebrar os anéis dos pistões( ferrugem nos cilindros)
    3° limpar carburador e vefificar bomba de combustível e tanque de combustível.
    4° verificar a eletrica... Platinado e condensador e todo o chicote elétrico.
    5° Liquido de arrefecimento e mangueiras
    6° girar o motor sem as velas para facilitar a lubrificação do óleo do cárter até apagar a luz do óleo
    7° colocar às velas e conferir a faisca de ponto de ignição.
    8° coloque combustivel no tanque e coloque na cuba do carburador
    9° verifique eventuais vazamentos de combustível nas mangueiras.
    10° faça funcionar e verifique o nível de óleo do cambio automatico.
    11° Tem freio? Se não tiver revise
    12° SEJA FELIZ... ACELERE E APROVEITE À VIDA...😊😊
