Re: Stutterning uphill
So, another update: The issue came back a day or two later and I was back to square one again. After it got a bit colder I started to see bubbles coming through the fuel filter. It seems there is a crack or leak in the line that got worse when it contracted from the cold. I picked up 15 feet of rubb...

Re: Stutterning uphill
It looks like the culprit was the float. I opened it up and it was closing about a half inch low. A bit a guess and check and everything looks good now. I took it for a couple of drives and it has great steady power and the governor kicks in around 45 mph. I'll probably leave the governor there sinc...

Re: Stutterning uphill
My situation sounds exactly like the first story you described. I have no idea how to adjust the governor so I'll look into that. The float is also on the list though I'm not looking forward to taking the whole contraption off again. This truck also has a civilian distributor with 12v ignition so th...

Re: Stutterning uphill
I've checked and adjusted the timing. It was about 4 degrees slow so that is fixed now. As far as fuel flow goes I decided to add a water separator and after starting the engine again it refilled the water separator and the filter in less that three seconds so I think that is fine. I think the next ...

Re: Stutterning uphill
The reason I think that isn't the issue is that I can press the clutch in while the problem is at its worst and immediately rev the engine. As soon as there is a load it comes right back. How would I go about checking the flow?

Stuttering above half throttle on hills
Hi all, I have been having an issue where my truck will begin stuttering above half throttle or so when climbing a slight hill. I have already replaced the governor as it seemed like the obvious culprit however that had no effect. The truck has no problem on flat roads, downhill, or even up steep hi...

Stutterning uphill
Hi all, After reading in some thread here I thought I had my issue worked out and bought a replacement governor and installed it. However my issue is still happening. Anytime I am running uphill over about half throttle the engine will start stuttering badly and occasionally shoot a bit of fire out ...
