Carb tuning issues - 82 F250, 351w

[Shran]

I ordered a new gas tank for it. $126 shipped is worth more than my time trying to clean out the old one. Hopefully should have this truck drivable in the next couple weeks so that I can park it somewhere other than at my house, I'm kind of tired of looking at it.

Found the problem... this was "cleaned out..." right. I never witnessed these kids eating tide pods or anything but I'm starting to suspect it.

New tank is in, I sucked about 4 gallons of gas out of the old tank. I'm not putting it back in, gonna run it in the lawnmower or something.

I cleaned up the China carb and put it back on. The other one had a bit of slop in the throttle shaft. It runs better but not really good… kind of rough idle and I can’t get the vacuum above about 16. I’ll play with it some more this evening.

That looks pretty good compared to my Bronco II tank I replaced.
