I had someone installed a rebuilt starter in my 2.25L gas, because I don't really want to be laying on the frozen ground.
It had been sitting for a few months and when I got it back it is really lacking power. I ran it a week ago and it was not great but OK, now it won't get up to 40 mph. It has no power.
All the plugs appear to be getting a good spark and it idles nicely, but when you accelerate, there is no umph? (Well, It used to have a little)
I was not using one of the tanks and I think the guys at the dealer may have run the old tank for awhile. Could it be the old gas just messed up the the carburator? I ran a little carburator cleaner, but the inside is pretty black, what can I do to help my poor friend out?
Thanks in advance,
James
