ROB, inline filter has not been removed, except to ensure it was was not plugged.
KENDELL, don't know how long my brother let the 582 sit without starting or draining gas. All I know is that it was running up unitl yesterday, althougth it did fail to start last week and I had to prime carb to get it to run. It ran and smoothed out and was fine until now. Does this call for a carb overhaul or will it clean up?
I borrowed the 582 to work with while I restore my 169. So far, all I've done is work on the 582, rather than work with it. I'm getting tired of this. Front end, voltage regulator, rusting wheels, leaking gas cap, grease fittings broken off, broken wiring, yada, yada, yada!
