If you are having running problems and the spark and compression check out OK then its fuel. Either too rich or gasoline has gone to gel and plugged up the jets in the carburetor or in some cases too lean. auto stores around me have two kinds of jets which are simple brass plugs with a metered hole in them to allow for fuel flow. You can remove the carburetors and remove the jets(one main jet and one pilot jet) and clean them. Take care not to gouge the soft brass and use a small piece of copper wire to poke out the gelled gasoline using carburetor cleaner or B-12 Chem Tool.
#1 Change your oil, air filter and oil filter. You probably do this regularly but make sure that you do it before the heat of the summer takes place. Your oil, oil filter and your air cleaner will help cool your car and cause less strain on your engine. Less strain means fewer problems.
Mineral vs. Synthetic Oil: Some cars may specify that synthetic oil must be used in the car. Make sure you request synthetic oil at the auto parts near me if this is the case. Others may not specify either type--in this case, you may use mineral or synthetic oil.
OIdling. Excessive idling causes you to waste gas and in some states it is Illegal to let your car idle for more than 3 minutes. Shut off the engine when you are waiting for family or friends.
So now we know we need to change the filter, we have to buy the filter. Your local auto store near me should have everything you need, including any special tools, such as eye protection. Some vehicles require special fuel line disconnect tools to remove the filter. The people at the parts store should be able to tell you, or you can purchase a repair manual which is useful if you like the challenge of doing it yourself. Each make and model vehicle is different so you may want to have a mechanic work on your vehicle.
Depending on what vehicle you have, you may want to use some chrome polish. This will help keep bumpers, wheels, fenders, and metallic accessories shiny and bright.
You take a battery to an auto parts store near me that you think is bad, and they will spend an hour to an hour and a half checking the battery out before they will decide to replace it for you in the hopes that you will get so frustrated with the time that you will end up purchasing a new one instead. Another thing they don't tell you, is that if you come in even one day after your free replacement period is over, and you pay the prorated replacement of even a cent for a new battery, your initial warranty with free replacement starts all over again. So auto part companies do not encourage employees to give out this information out to customers.
Once you have gotten your car ready for the cold, snow, ice and wind that winter brings, it's time to stock it with all the items you will need to help you get through them. Those items include an ice scraper, a snow brush and small snow shovel, bag of sand or cat litter, road flares, jumper cables, blanket, etc.
Buy up everything, have a custom guitar like this one made, buy up some more artwork so I might visit again to see what else she finds that I can't seem to find even here in the big city.
The truck bed mat includes dimples on the bottom which if nothing else make perfect drain channels for water. Then the upper surface has raised panels as well as ridges around the outside edges.
