My 79 TA (traded for the mustangs) sat for a year, and the kid drove it home. The only problem Iran into was the floats in the carb stuck, which a screw driver took care of. di=ont worry about it.

 

It won't hurt anything but if I don't have a chance to drive it all week I'll start it up and let it run (once a week) just for ****s and giggles. As for our horses, I really haven't figured out how to start up a horse...

 

There is no point in starting the car up, unless you can get it on the road and heat up the transmission and rear-end.

The motor can sit for months without any potential problems.

 

you guys just aren't as creative as I am, that's why you can't start up a horse.

 

Nope everyone gets them.....I'm not prejudiceDont mind me, I just give dumb answers to crazy questions

 

^^^just seemed like anyway im not here to start fights with anyone btw was it really that dumb of a question

 

Like I always say the only stupid question is the one you dont ask....But ya it is kinda dumb,but i wont hold it against yaYou car would be fine for a year sitting,the worst that would happen is the battery would die.Dont worry about it ,go away and have a good time

 

My understanding is the concern of an engine sitting for a long time the gas will "oxidize" and gumm up the carberator. There is an additive I add to my lawnmower (called Stabil) that will protect the engine from getting gummed up. I use one a year to winterize all the lawn equipment.
but yeah , a week? I'll come over and make sure the tires dont get stiff, give me your address and leave the keys in the mailbox.

 

No worries about leaving it sit, but man be careful when you get back and take her out! That horse will be SO full of **** and vinegar that it will want to go VERY fast [8D] And I'm guessing you will too!
