So I just got what I thought was a sweet deal on a motor. A box of knives (value of about 6.5 bucks) for a 19** Sea King motor vw8 52179C. ** is because I cannot find what year it is. I think it is a 79 or 80 but not sure.
It runs for about a minute after having to spray a bit of starter fluid in it but then soon dies after. It will not start without it but however I know that the fluid burns up pretty quick so it should be running on gas for the most part for that minute.
Question #1
I thought that there was a place here that I could find this out?
Questions #2
It will start but not run for a long time. I can see an Idle screw and one screw on the carb (not 2) so what would be a good adjustment for this?
Question #3
I am sure that the oil that should be put in this is TCW3 but if I do not use that type of oil will it run good or do as described?
Sorry if I have gone over my question limit and I am sure I will have more. Thanks for the help.
