[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4336117, member: 15054"] OLD gas will kill an engine. It will seize the valves in the guides and it is just plain not good to run. Remove the gas and possibly the tank before you end up really hurting the engine. If this fuel is 4 years old it may be fine if it is older you are not fine and some may not have good luck with 4 year old fuel. That is about as old of gasoline as I have ever ran and had no issues. But the tanks were air tight. A carb that has ran and then has been sitting is definitely going to need taken apart. If you have done Quadrajets or Edelbrock/AFB carbs you know you can take them apart without tearing any gaskets. Needle and seat and accelerator pump fixes 90% of those. [/QUOTE]
