1972 Opel GT, Will It Run After 30 Years? | Turnin Rust

we could get it out of our gas tank, here was that choke, what was holding it back last time, do you think, yeah, I do, nice plants and things in there too, leaves, yeah, it's pretty hard to do a good job removing it. You're a straw, get that out of there Wesley and just take the shot back, suck it or of course I'll have an accident. I had one a while ago. I guess I lost it. I'll push it back to the throttle. Can we even? Do you have any carb cleaners? Oh my god, i wonder why he didn't pump fuel there?

Run that air hose over here and try to blow through it. So, I didn't blow that little bomb over there. So, uh, like it makes it a little better. Yeah, hmm, sucking in too much air somewhere. Yeah, well, maybe there's one of those. The carburetor is not fully tightened here. Well, that's the longest it's ever worked. Since we got into this thing, you have to have the choke completely closed to keep it running. So you probably have too much air coming in somewhere, you probably have a vacuum hose that's rotten or something, so it's sucking air in there, so we have to restrict the air in the choke, so we're trying to look at We looked around to see that Dad found a bolt. there with a carburetor at the base it's loose so it could be sucking in a little bit of air there's a couple of hoses here we found a couple of different hoses there with different spots that could be stuck there it's also just a water hose and probably don't even just take it out, honestly, get it out of the way first air cooled opal try again, I don't think so, I always hope for a flame to come out with that noise that shouldn't hurt at all, huh?

I think we'll probably have to manipulate the choke just right and I think we can get her to get off the trailer for us, that may be a second one too, let's do it, see if we can get some air in these tires. obviously we don't need to run it for long anyway without that radiator, it all comes down to that, we can always put it back in there, we don't have a water pump, but at least we can feel it block with a little water and that . I'll help you out a little bit, so let's see if we can get some air in these old tires that look like they should never hold up there and the engine that looks like they should never run, so label it, yeah, I didn't want to do that. first, but now it's not going to hold up for long, although this one isn't going to hold up to air, let's just say the ones in the back probably won't hold up to anything that's good, let's try this one just for fun, just because that's how it

will

be.

How does that happen? That's definitely true, most of these tires ended up retaining a little bit of air. We have one on the rear passenger side that leaked a little on us but you

will

be more than able to get it off the trailer, we have taken it out of the shop, there are no brakes on this car right now I know but we hope to be able to unleash this thing, start it up and discharge it under its own power, oh, turn it off now, well, I probably shouldn't have tried this whole thing, but it's actually running and driving on old power.

I think this car has been sitting for about 30

years

and I have to say we had nothing to lose in this whole thing, I never waited for it to run, I mean it just had loads of animal stuff on it, we dug all that up and found out that the engine got it going, got it moving, maybe someone sees a little potential in this thing and can pass it on. so so so you
