[T3] Carburetor Storage

[Keith Park]

Run up the fuel pressure and check for leaks, if the injectors are leaking
then wait a few days and see if the o rings swell up and seal but most
likely you will need to replace the injectors.

Some day it might be a Volkswagen.

So then when I get the Squareback out of storage I will have issues? What
does one do? Soak the injectors first? I hope to get to the Squareback late
this summer, but we all know how life is...


Thank you so very much!
