    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
