This will be interesting Lewis. For sure keep us in the loop!
Lewis when you notice this condition, pull over and check a few things. Can you push it? If you cannot, see if any of the brakes are getting hot. If one or more brakes are hot it could be a few...
gm has a few good ones. He will jump in here.
I was thinking a Snap On might fit in there. I might just wring out my wallet for one. Is that a vintage Snap on gm?
9" brakes vs 11" brakes are a huge difference. There are a few different brakes out there. We are speaking of the 9" Bendix style found on the early Military and CJ's. They are very touchy and...
Good catch Larry, yes if there is a restriction on the suction side, it will starve for fuel and it can be hard on the pump. A "no restriction" screen is usually right at the pickup in the tank.
gm has you going in the right path. I have a tool drawn up to make, I just haven't gotten around to the machine shop yet. Here is a photo of what I use. The lower jam nuts up front are the worst....
Lewis, the idle circuit is probably the culprit. I have written a few times about that circuit. Even in a brand new old stock rebuild kit that circuit gets blocked. The circuit has a tube jet with a...
I would consider a new one. They have a tendency to keep deteriorating.
Or we can all Bitc$ in unison and feel better together!
gmwillys likes to use RED-KOTE http://damonq.com/red-kote.html and I do to. I used it on my new tank to keep it from rusting. Good Stuff.
Larry's point cant be overstated on a good filter between...
Lewis, I hope you got it. If the points and coil don't cure it, I am with gmwillys, it sure does sound like a fuel problem.
Wow it's got spark, skip that test and move to Timing and fuel. Does it run with some choke? Make sure it is timed correctly. If it is see if it will run with some choke. Are you sure about the...
Chris take out a spark plug and ground it to the block. Crank it over and check for a good spark on the plug. If you have good spark, give it a little shot of ether and see if it will fire. If it...
gm that KW filter is a nice looking piece! It has me thinking.... Expensive little bugger however.
Chris, though some do get away with the filter between the pump and the tank, it belongs between the pump and the carb. The suction side of the pump is not very forgiving of even the slightest of...
Chris, I would take a look at replacing the points and condenser as well as the cap. Recheck the timing and see how it runs. I do think you would have been better off with any Carter Carburetor...
