It was the engine out of his truck and he said he never had any problems with it.

School is out Monday so I will have a full day to work on it. What should I use to wash out the tank? Would water be ok? I am guessing no. I was gonna clean it out along with the lines. Then check the oil and try to crank it up.
NO,,water is not what you want to use. Just drain it (keep the EPA in mind.... ) and let it dry out, if there is any rust flakes you can dump them out too. Check it out with a flash light inside, if you need a new one they are really cheap for a carb'd version. You can flush the lines with slovent if you think they need it, but again new ones are reasonable if your are shot.
The numbers when ever you want. Just shoot it over in a PM or email.
