Jesus, where do I start. Couldn't get the dual carbs working right, so I pulled the dual carbs, installed the single carb, redid the throttle cable and choke cable. Couldn't get it started unless I sprayed starter fluid. Pour fuel into the float bowl and it would run for 30 seconds or so before dying. Figured the mechanical fuel pump had died, so I picked up an electric pump today. Installed the pump, but the damn thing wouldn't draw fuel from the tank. If I ran a line into my gas can it would work just fine. Finally came to the conclusion my gas tank has a clogged strainer. Guess I get to figure out how to work on the gas tank now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png Still need to clean up a bunch of wires and get the thing tuned in once I get it running. I swear i've traced problems all the way from the ignition switch clear to the gas tank now, it never ceases to amaze me!

FUn stuff.. Looks Damn Nice..

Oh.. I was being Sarastic about it being fun.. but still.. great memories.. Hope that that is all it needs to get her runnin..

I've never seen one of those. Thats a really cool pickup...like it alot. Looks really nice. Good luck with it! I'd really like to hear how is sounds, maybe some vids of it movin'.

Thanks, I wish it ran as good as it looks. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png When it runs it sounds pretty mean. I was so disapointed today after realizing the gas tank is clogged. Clogged fuel filter sure, but clogged gas tank...get the **** out!! I just want to drive it some more https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

it does look nice, is the fuel line in good shape?

Yep, fuel lines are good.

That truck looks great!! Now if it only ran great. :(



Look at the bright side, once you replace the entire fuel system and eleictrical system it SHOULD run fine.......



......I am not helping am I????

Haha, no ****. Ya know the truck was restored already, and I think i've done more restoration than the guy who originally did it. Sucks not having a garage, its cold as balls outside and I really don't feel like having to slide back under the truck to fiddle with the gas tank.
