My '85 GSL-SE has some type of fuel problem, which I don't have time to fix myself, but I want to be able to depend on it this Spring and Summer.
Anyone recommend a shop that can clean the tank and diagnose/fix whatever else is wrong?
For the past several years, I've driven the car very little each summer, gotten mad and parked it for another year. Each time I drive for around an hour or more, the car starts to stutter/buck and then finally dies. After sitting for about an hour it starts easily and drives normally.
Thanks for any recommendations that'd get me back into my RX!
John
Recommend fuel shop in/near Boulder?

Welcome. I don't have any recommendations for a shop, but I may have some input on the problem.
If you think the fuel tank needs cleaning, than your best bet is to pull it and take it to a radiator shop for cleaning. I know you said you didn't want to work on it yourself but it is easy to remove.
