"Guys,
Last fall I aquired a 1987 Galaxy Classic with a recently rebuilt engine or at least a new block. I havent had much time to check it out all that well because winter creaped up real fast. I winterized it and covered it up till spring. Before winterizing I did get it started to be sure that it would. It seemed to idle smoothly which was a good sign so I just shut it down and proceeded to clean it up and get it ready for a long winter sleep. One thing I noticed is that after shutting it off, fuel kept running thru the carb for a few minutes. This is not normal is it? what could be the cause of this? Like I said I havent had much time to look it over yet so just asking so I know where to start. Also the fuel in the tank is probly about two years old. Even tho it had conditioner put in I am going to drain and replace it. What else do you suggest I do? I plan on replacing the plugs, wires filters etc. Should the pump and carb be ok as far as shellacing is concerned ? Thanks"
