Default Re: Carbon Buildup and Stuck Valves

Thanks for your reply. I drained both fuel tanks of approx 40 gals of very stale old fuel before we attempted to start the bus. I did not flush the tanks. It has 3 fuel filters, all have been changed. We have prob run approx. 100 gallons + thru it at this point. Both taks are full at this time but if you feel it best that i drain and clean them , i will.

I have not noted any oil in the PVC filter element. I have not replaced it but do have one on order. This engine looks brand new inside- absolutely NO internal wear. The inside of the intake chambers where the only thing that looked bad. I will attempt to attach a photo.

We know the complete history of this bus and feel certain the engine has less than 20,000 miles.

I appreciate the input! Jerry
