This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    my car bog on the idle and when I drive. It makes that since my car sit for 2 week. can it be my battery? or the carb ? the gas because my tank was empty?

    I have a 80 riviera

    Thanks

    gs4u2c Is that a 442?

    Sitting for two weeks shouldn't really affect it. My cars sit for months and still start and run fine. If it is starting, that wouldn't be a battery problem. May either be bad gas, dirty carb or a clogged filter.

    Replace the filter and just a thought here , your tank may need to be boiled out due to varnish in the tank and you have the bottom of the barrel going in the carb. and filter .

    Try fresh gas , replace the filter ( buy a spare ) you'd be wise to change it after the first tank of gas is used. Clean carb. with a good can of Gumout carb. cleaner .

    And keep gas in these old gas tanks , winterize the gas when stored . This gas today is garbage .

    Good Luck
