Re: Carburetor Rebuild Help - won't idle after rebuild

One more thing, I'm testing the carburetor without the air horn and air cleaner. I did plug the intake manifold hold where the air horn bracket bolts to. I can't imagine testing without the air cleaner makes a difference

Re: Carburetor Rebuild Help - won't idle after rebuild

I'm thinking that I don't have the throttle valve arm adjusted correctly and that the throttle valve is not completely closed when the gas pedal is not depressed and therefore not pulling the vaccum through the idle discharge port (and low speed fuel circuit) that is just below the throttle plate. D...

Re: Carburetor Rebuild Help - won't idle after rebuild

I removed and replaced all the aluminum plugs. The new float needle had a needle seat, spring, and solid plunger that hits the floats whereas the old needle did not have the solid plunger. Regardless, I reset the float level to 5/32. I set it by attaching a piece of hose and blowing into the hose to...

Carburetor Rebuild Help - won't idle after rebuild

Here's the story on my all stock 1954 M37 which was running just fine. Compression tests recently range from 95 - 102 psi, not great but has run fine. 1. Tune-up done with new cap, condenser, rotor and points was completed and truck ran great - better than before 2. 20 miles post tune-up and I'm dri...

Re: Blowing Fuel Pump Mounting Gaskets

Hi Bob, I removed the pipe in question when I removed the fording valve assembly. It all looked very good. Both fording valves (from block and from oil fill pipe) are open. When I run the engine and close the fording valve going to the crankcase it quiets the engine but does not effect idle speed. W...

Blowing Fuel Pump Mounting Gaskets

Hoping someone can help me figure out why my M37 with stock 230 engine is blowing fuel pump-to-block gaskets. I rebuilt the pump due to gasoline leaking out of pump and onto engine block. Now, after running engine for 10 minutes I hear a whistling noise which is air blowing out past a newly created ...

Rear Diff Pinion Shaft play

Well, replacing the notorious rear differential yoke gasket. Upon disassembly and removal of the yoke I find a lot of up-down and side-to-side play (1/8" at least) in the pinion shaft. Knowing that there is a bearing inside of the differential casting, I'm thinking the bearing is toast and need...

Re: LU-4 Winch Part ID

I did install the ring on the main shaft. This is too small to fit on the main shaft.

Thanks for your input

Re: Help with my brake problem

UPDATE - not sure if the brake lights were on or not. The MC rebuild did not resolve the problem. With all new wheel cylinders and flex lines, ample free play at the brake pedal, shoes adjusted just shy of contacting the drums - I still had the packing problem as described in the initial post. Insta...

Re: Help with my brake problem

Thanks. Is the valve positioned correctly with the radiused side of the valve inside of the spring? I'm referring to the second part that goes into the bore which is on the right side of the spring in the photo. I have it shown with the radiused side of the valve facing the spring and part of the va...
