It RUNS!!!! Well, sorta.
Well, Trailerd my 1985 D100 home a few months ago, and with wonderful PA weather, it has been sitting in my yard. I pulled out the carpet on a nice day to find the floorboards pretty rusty. Pulled the radio and put in a CD player, and did a few minor things.
The truck hasn't run any farther than on the trailer to get it home, and about 50 feet in the driveway. All at fast idle. Well, I dumped 5 gallons of fresh gas in, and started it up the other day. But soon niticed a gas smell, popped the hood and sure enough, a fuel line was spraying everywhere. Shut it off only slightly aggrivated. Yesterday I got the proper fuel lines, a new filter, and new clamps, and put it all together. It fired right up like a champ. There is some squeeling at fast idle that goes away at regular idle. But for some reason it kept stalling out in regular idle. After I had it running for about 5 min, it nearly stopped doing that. It ran enough to move around the farm a little more. Brakes feel super stiff. The booster is rusty and corroded as can be. So I suppose it could be rusty front rotors, and possibly rear cylinders, and even the booster as well. The truck has sat at least 4 years.
Oh well, at least it runs and moves under its own power.

Try a little Lucas or Howes fuel injector cleaner. It should clean out that fuel system pretty good.
