Like many of us, there are times, due to work, family responsibilities or illness, when my old A4 sits dormant for too long. I have learned long ago that if I run the engine every week, it starts and runs like a dream. As soon as it sits for over 2 weeks, trouble starts. 'Carbureter cheese' seems to be a by-product of gas with ethanol.
Right now she won't run, and before that it was obvious the idle jet was blocked. I don't mind doing improvements to my A4 but doing the same carb service too often annoys me.What is the recommended practice for saving this work? Run it dry or leave the float bowl full? Add stabilisers or keep away from them? Convert to fuel injection?
thanks!
