First Start Of F-134 Engine After A Long Time Being Stopped And With Repaired Engine

Hello
Today I want to ask you about your recommendations on how to clean the rust in the cooling system of an F-134 engine that has not started for 5 years and without having any liquid in the system. Also, if for that resuscitation start by calling it in some way after the engine was repaired, they have some tip that can help me for that next first start. Another question: do any of you use the carburetor return line? Mine does not have it connected but if it has the one planned to connect it and in photos I have not seen it connected either. I installed a pressure gauge and a low pressure regulator to adjust to no more than 3.5 PSI as indicated in the literature but I am not sure how convenient it is to install the return line.
Thank you very much

 

I don't know of any F-134 that has a return line.

They may have vacuum lines from the intake manifold and/or the dual type vacuum/fuel pump. Do you have vacuum operated windshield wipers?

What year is the jeep?

 

I’d do this. Then run water hose thru for a few minutes. Then I’d use a flush mix available at most parts stores. Flush the radiator the same way but separately.

 

PeteL can you see in the photo the red circle that I drew on the carburetor? That would be the return line if I connected it. But as you say, I have not seen one connected either.

 

Thanks Glenn.
I repaired the engine about two years ago.
The technician in charge removed the head, new rings were put, the crankshaft was rectified, with its new bearings. The engine was assembled with enough lubricant so that it was ready when the start was made.

 

I was wondering if doing the same thing, Glenn's idea of putting compressed air first also seems to me

 

"That's your problem, right there." That is not a stock OEM Jeep " Carter YF" carb.

Probably a solex - about which I know less than nothing.

 

Ummm..... is that an A/C compressor on an F head?

 

Thanks Glenn for your comments.
Yes, the engine was previously repaired.
But I still consider that it may have dirt or corrosion due to not having any lubricating liquid in the system.
And if you both saw the A / C compressor and power steering, the alternator is also 90 amps, higher capacity. This because my car has a hard top, so I am going to install the A / C and power steering for more comfort. Another modification that we made that was consistent with those changes, was to install the external fuel tank like the Jeep M170, so I hope not to have problems with gasoline vapors inside the cabin with A / C

 

Neat Setup.

I have used that Solex on a few FHeads with great success and never used a return.

 

Antifreeze/coolant blend will probably include additives for both pump seal lube and anti-corrosion.

 

Perfect then.
Another thing that I forgot to mention to you is that I am going to use a low pressure Holley electric pump, however, as the technical specifications of the pump indicate that the maximum value is 4 PSI and the engine manual says 3.75 PSI. install a pressure regulator that allows me to calibrate at 3.5 PSI, I think that at that pressure I should not have problems

 

Yes PeteL, that should contain the additives I require. I will follow the advice of blowing with compressed air before, later I add water and flushing mix, I work the engine like that for a while and later I add the coolant

 

Glenn exactly thought of that after posting. The manual clearly indicates YF-951S carburetor. Done, I'm going to set the system to 2 PSI
