    Well then that meens it WILL run. The gass is probably junk, if it has sat more than 30 days. Octane booster wouldnt hurt and might need plugs and or wires. ( Fire / Fuel or both ) If you can get it to run, even if its rough then in my book its worth lots more than 50 bucks. - ALOT MORE! I guess thats why the junk yards pay 100 dollars for cars. They know they will get it back.

    I will clean he plugs later. I have been sick all weekend. I was just spraying starting fluid in the carb it would second for a second and die. I don't think it is getting any gas. I am going to unhook the gas line and run it off a bottle of new gas

    I've ran a car on gas that was 13 years old... of course it wouldn't do anything but idle, so I just let it idle until it ran it all out. Not really good for the engine to run gas that old, but I didn't know that at the time. It stunk, BAD... :)

    I got a picture of it in my gallery. I'll tell you where a 69.5 maverick is for $350 but it is a basketcase
