Can someone please advise:
I know a but about mechanics but not been in the trade for years:
I'm just replacing the accelerator pump diagphragm on the carb (Motorcraft 4 barrel)
I notice the two rear barrels on the engine base have some kind of tarnish or carbon build up in the barrels and I heard that it might only be using 2 barrels?? Now I was a mecahnic in the coal mines for year but I'm not auto guy.
Can this or does this make sense?
Its an older RV and I plan to takre her cross country, 1985 with 43K and I've driven her about 1000 miles. The RV runs pretty good albeit 5mpg as expected. I know I was losing gas on the perished diagphragm.
If the old girl starts to become too much of a $$$ investment (I paid $2600) then sorry she's going to the knackers yard so I'm hoping to limit the amount I put into it.
Does the build up in the rear two barrels indicate any serious threat?
I am replacing the vacuum hoses etc. Hoping not to do a rebuild if the bus runs. 5mpg is already budgeted in my expense.
Thanks for your time folks
Cheers
