oczuk32 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Tried starting the engine this evening and it sounded like it completely lost compression. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cranks, but then stalls out. Based on what someone mentioned, the old varnished fuel may have damaged the valve seat seals or piston rings, causing a loss of compression. I drained the old fuel from the tank and blew out the fuel lines with compressed air. Then I added a couple gallons of fresh gas along with a treatment. I suspect the treatment is doing its job by breaking down the varnish in the tank—but that might be sending residue into the engine. I’ll monitor how it performs over the next few days.
