:eek: when putting gas in the car which had been sitting for a while,(about 6 mo.) I ended up with a gal. can that gas mixed for a two stroke engine! and a gal. of 89 octane unlead. now the car won't turn over? do i have to drain the tank or fuel system & how? or add more gas.egine is a 3.8 v6 fuel injected:whacked:
As Denny says, you should have no trouble with just adding some more gas. One gallon of 2 stroker mixture isn't going to hurt your engine.
thanks guys, i'm on my way to the bank and then to gas station and i'll post the results!:D

May need to clean the plugs first to get it to fire and when it does do not let i die till she quits smokin or u may have to clean the plugs again.Also u may wanna run it till she heats up and cleans the cat converter back off from the soot from the 2 cycle(nasty soooty stuff)that 2 cycle is.Also a couple of full throttle on ramp assaults will help remove any soot from the combustion chambers.:D anytime I can justify a full throttle on ramp assault i will and do!!:LOL:
The fact that you put mixed gas in it would have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the engine "won't turn over".
yes the words wont turn over ussually mean the starter wont turn the motor....i can turn over a motor with a wrench but i sure as hell cant fire one up with a wrench... sounds more to me like you have a dead battery if it sat that long :LOL:
the engine turns like its trying to start but it just wont fire up. it sputters ur ur,ur,ur,ur,ump,ump,ump,ump,ur,ur,ur...) you know ? al
Heh! - Glad to see I'm not the only one who has to hit the bank everytime I buy gas - :LOL:Quote:
