Started having problems with my 1850. It would run for like 5 minutes and then sputter out... It is a gasser and the fuel pump has been bypassed, just gravity feed with a fuel filter between sediment bowl and carb. I have taken the tank out to clean it and found a very odd black oil like sludge coming from the take that will harden and dry out when not mixed with gas.
Any ideas what this is or from???
I have an old four wheeler tank rigged up now with no filter between tank and carb and it runs fine. After I clean and probably redcote the tank should I rebuild or find a fuel pump or will they run OK off of gravity? And should I also have a filter before carb or are the too restrictive?
Also will post numbers here for which front crank oil seal I need since no responses on other thread...
Pictures of aftermath of draining tank.
