[Mgs] Cleaning HIF carbs

[Steve Shoyer]

I "gently tapped" the float bowls, which unstuck whatever was holding up the
floats, and the car started!  I drove it around for a while, so now I've got
a new list of maintenance items that need attention.  I'll get to them soon,
right after I swap in a new heater core.  Well, maybe not too soon.

Thanks for the help.

If it runs on starting fluid, the spark is okay and you have a fuel problem.
I hope you know it needs full choke and fast idle setting for cold start.
Wild guess, perhaps the float valves are stuck shut after storage so it has
no fuel in the float chambers.
