Thanks for the reply Charles; Yes I did go into the carb inspecting for debris, the gentleman that owns the vehicle had purchased the rebuilt pump from vintage power wagons! But as anything there could be an internal concern with the pump and I agree with that! I have been trying to make a rose out ...

I apologize for the hit and miss on the events and repairs, let me back track. All was well after the maintenance was finished. It would run right up to 50-55 mph no problem, then I found the fuel pump leaking into the crank case, I replaced the fuel pump with a rebuilt pump and that is when I was n...

fuel screen/filter

Thanks for the reply Kevin I guess I am a little slow on the posting the fact that I located a screen and I think I also looked at those on eBay and they were in pretty good shape! I will keep you in mind if I come across some else looking for one.
Thanks again

Gary what kind of noises were you hearing? What it appliers that you are seeing the play in is the synchronizer set for third and fourth gears! I assume that you are reaching these gears through the shift tower and that they mate up to the shift forks. This slop in the gear set can be caused by the ...
