greetings!
i picked up a 1987 K75 (submodel eludes me, haven't read all that yet) last night that has been sitting for about a year after it "suddenly stopped running" shortly after being dumped on the right side. here it is in the back of my truck:
the headlight is not on, in fact there is no battery in it, the sun is at just the right angle.
the engine spins and lights come on but no firing. the PO said it ran on ether last month... well i'm pretty sure the fuel pump is shot and the sender might be as well. this is how i found the fuel pump, which i gather is not correctly mounted (not mounted at all really, it's loose)
the strainer is somewhat visible in the background here. what's not really clear is that it looks to have sand in it. all the hoses in the tank are peeling and the rubber isolator gasket is more like black RTV than rubber.
i think i'll piece together my own aftermarket fuel pump and test the fuel sender once i get it all pulled out and drain that nasty nasty whiskey gas. if anyone has tips and tricks to share i'd appreciate it. i've read the thread a few times:
