I agree the known fuel leak scares the piss out of me. But without hearing the car run I do not want to hand over the money. A fire extinguisher will be on hand during this.
Yes the Marvel Mystery Oil is to soak the rings before the initial crank so it is not a dry start. Can this oil foul the plugs up? If so how long should I wait before reinstalling plugs?
Tested- This can mean so many things to so many people. So I dug into this more. The car was tuned and has been driven approximately 50 miles since the motor was built. Three years ago the owner of the car passed away and the car was put in storage. Two years ago it was fired up for a respected buyer and the buyer did not purchase the car. It has been in storage ever since. I plan to hear the motor run and drive it around the parking lot before the purchase.
The game plan is to test the motor then haul the car to Junction City, Kansas or Austin, Texas. I am undecided at this moment because I am looking for somebody to rebuild the Carbs in a nearby city.
