[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 349498, member: 1931"] The black sludge is the fuel line being ate up. First thing I'd do is take the spark plugs out and spray some oil/wd 40 in the cylinders. Then I'd make sure it turns over. If it does, I'd do a compression test next. If that is good then I'd move on to fuel and clean all the carbs and replace all fuel lines. Personally I'd try and start it here and see if it will run, but just for a second. If it seems as though it will run, I'd replace the water pump. ( that way you're not putting parts in that may be a waste.) This is just how I'd do it. [/QUOTE]
