260 MAP elbow?

p man · **Posted:** July 4th, 2013, 5:26 pm

After poking around a bit with some engine problems this year I found that the elbow fitting on my horn was pretty gummed up with old fuel/ash.
Would this cause a running rich condition?

Ya but I'd like to get there (fast) before November.

Dave I think you hit the nail on the head in your pm. This issue was likely self induced as I had to fog it on the bench.

So what's the issue/solution?

I think part of the issue was that i pulled the powered last year before i winterized it. I then fogged the shit out of it by turning it with the starter motor and the plugs pulled. I've cleaned out the tygon, elbows and regulator.
Hopefully that will put some snap back into it.
