Oil Injection Hose Whats needed to do a total tune up?
Ok i have a 1985 camaro i want to know what to get it.(i dont know the terms) an oil change, tune-up, injection cleaning or i dont know. Is there a term i can tell my mechanic (i go to mcune dealer ship) like 23-point inspection or something that just includes everything i need? To give you an idea of what i want - Getting all my hoses replace, all liquids flushed and renewed, tune-up, all filters replaced-(air,fuel filters). Check other things that it may need. My grandma gets something that costs $500 every like 10k miles and shes gets alot done. What is the term to ask for that? she says its a 23-point inspection but i dont know. Please help thanx!
normally major tune ups are done at 50-100k miles interval.. but for starters heres a list
sparkplugs
sparplug wires
distributor cap and rotor
air filter
fuel filter
oil ( 10w30) will be good enough) castrol gtx
upper and lower radiator hoses
pvc valve
transmission fluid
rear differantial fluid
aslo lube the chassi( steering assembly)
dont forget the air freshner!

whats wrong with my chevy 350 motor?
ok heres the story, i have a 1988 cheyenne 4x4 regular cab long bed v8 fuel injection, and the bottom radiator hose got a hole in it so i went ahead and got another one, filled it up with water tho =(. and in the winter time my radiator would bubble and bubble. then stopped...by the way my heat guage doesnt work. and i was on my way home and i looked behind my truck and a huge trail of steam was following me.. the truck didnt want to start up after i just shut it off for a minute, but it did about about 5 mins later being jump started. i watched it drink a whole gallon of antifreeze right in fron of my eyes. no leaks and no water in the oil. whats going on? intake gaskets head gaskets or the heads cracked? please help its gettin nice out and want my baby out on the road again.
i would take it to a mechanic or read codes. get a new rad with some new fluid and get that gauge sending unit fixed
sounds like the scooters throttle for the ideling is out of wak therefore it cuts out also maybe the fuel is not going through properly, would ask Ryan to look for you, but not sure he'd know how. Ask him anyways if its not too late. I used to mix my own fuel you need to find out if it is still a two-stroke engine or not.
Vespa scooters were introduced in 1943. Early scooter models were 2-stroke models that used a magneto to provide power to the spark plug and for the headlight and blinkers. Later models added modern features such as a battery, electric start and continuously variable (CV) transmission to do away with the need for a clutch and gearbox.
2-Cycle Issues
# Two-cycle engines use oil mixed with the fuel for engine lubrication. Very early Vespas required the rider to mix the engine oil with the gasoline before adding the fuel to the scooter. Later models, which were still quite early, used an oil injection system. If your scooter has an oil injection system, in some cases this system can fail. If it does, you can still manually mix your gas. However, it is not as convenient as simply adding gas and oil separately when they run out.
Starting Problems in Vintage Scooters
# Older Vespa scooters can be difficult to start during cold weather. Vespas use a manual choke system to help with cold weather starting. Once your Vespa sputters to life, it will run fine. However, getting it started can be a challenge. In reality, each scooter, choke and carburetor are a little different, so what works on one scooter might not work on another. When starting your Vespa in cold weather, start with the choke 1/4 of the way out and increase it every four or five kicks on the starter.
Older Vespa scooters that will not start even in warm weather may have a number of problems. The carburetor may need to be rebuilt on a scooter that has not run for many years. However, if your scooter has been running and now will not start, the problem may well be the scooter's coil, magneto or kill switch. Many older models have no key, and when the kill switch fails, it may prevent spark from reaching the spark plug.
Modern Starting Problems
# Modern Vespas are as complex as any other modern scooter. This is an advantage when they are working well. Modern Vespas are easy to start. They have automatic chokes and automatic transmissions. Usually, starting your modern Vespa is as simple as turning the key, squeezing the brake and pressing the start button. However, some modern Vespas have had issues with faulty kill switches. The kill switch is designed to cut all power to the engine in an emergency situation or other situation where you need to turn off the engine but cannot reach the key. If your modern Vespa won't start, and you know the battery is good, try replacing the kill switch.
