A3 Wont stay running.. Fuel issue.
Picked up my Dads M35A3 yesterday up in Sparta... The guys there wanted to get us loaded up quick so they fired the truck up and drove it out of the lot so we could get it on the trailer easier. It ran for a few minutes while we were getting ready to load it then stalled out. Wont fire unless you hit it with either, and it wont run for more than a few seconds... Turns over fine.
Now the fuel tank is half full of some nasty smelling stuff so were hoping the works are just gummed up.. Fuel filter said it was changed in 06. Everything looks good, just dusty.
What is the correct way to clean the lines and tank? I'm going to drain the fuel out today after work. Can I blast compressed air from the filter back to the tank without damaging anything? I have TMs for A2's but can't find what I need for A3's.
