How often do you drive the mobil house? Old gas could be the problem. If you
don't drive it at least once a week gas can get nasty. I put Stabil in my 55
Chevy and the wife's motorcycle -Lawn Mower and such. I had a problem with
the 55 three carbs nasty inside-electric fuel pump-blew two starters off-the
carbs float stuck and I had to change oil three times ten quarts each time.
I put stabil in and no problems since. 55 has 454 mark 4 in it.
Good Luck -------Wayne
