Folks, I started to install the new points and condener. I removed the dist cap and as I was checking all the wires to make sure they were all tight, and not grounding out, the wire from what the manual calls IGNITION COIL CAPACITOR, pulled right up out of the capacitor!! It was not even...

I am so frustrated with this truck. So the elec fuel pump, not the original but an after market one does stp running at times, seems like when the carb may be full. We turn on the ignition and the pump runs awhile and then stops (Engine not running) just power on. I tap on the pump and it...

Thanks so much to all. I was looking at elec fuel pumps on line. Some said that they would stop at a certain high pressure. That's why I thought perhaps that is what mine is doing? Also, there are what appear to be, three "condensers" in this distributor? Although I believe I know one of...

HAd a thread going on fuel pump and carburator, but am still having trouble. Spent some time today trying to find out what could be wrong? My Son's M135 will start right up, and seems to idle fime. I was thinking fuel all along, but then maybe condenser? Would run down the road just great...

Well friends, seems this problem is not soved? This truck will run along just fine. Then it shuts off. But it will start right up and run fine for a while. But then stall out again? Seems like a fuel problem to me. But, if it were a condener or points could it be intermittant like that? I...

Folks, I really appreciate all the in-put I have received. I was not able to help my Son last evening when he sent me those pics. But he cleaned that screen and everything he could in the pump, lines etc. Seems that was the culprit. He tells me he took it for an extended run and it ran...

This is the electric fuel pump that has been on this truck since I can remember, 20 yrs or more? Also a look at the screen filter in it. This is the M135 that was running fine and then started romping and lurching at times. We changed the other filter and even removed and cleaned the carb...

Thanks to all. I received everything and do appreciate it. Now if I can only get this thing running right. I did take the carb apart and clean it. It was not dirty. It is still running bad, romping, I call it. Next check will be the electric fuel pump, and the wiring to it. Perhaps a...

Thanks, I'll try it.

I know this is not the correct place to ask this, but I do not see an appropriate place to do so. I need to PM someone, but for the life of me, I don't see how?

I been trying to figure out how to PM you, but can't fine it?

Thanks guys, I appreciate this all very much. I checked with "Mikes" earlier and they do have the kit. But it will be great to see some actual directions on how to do things. My e-mail is : Thanks again

I have taken the carb apart as far as I dare, and cleaned up pretty well. Really didn't see much signs of dirt. But it could have been something in the float valve I didn't see. Anyway, it would maybe help if I had an exploded view of how this thing goes together, and of course, how to adjust...

Thanks to all, I have some things to try now. I am leaning toward fuel / carb problem, but am going to check points also. When we checked the air cleaner there were wasps and wax in it as well as some pieces of corn and acorns. in the oil. So we dismantled everything and cleaned it. Someday...

We been trying to get this 52 M135 tuned up and tightenup for the upcoming parade season. We use it to ride veterans in all the parades in our area. It was my Dad'esdream for his truck, and it has served uo well for some years now. We finally got six new tires and tubes on the truck and will...

I'd have no trouble staying with 24V. Would an aftermarket switch designed for 12 V work for 24V? As for the wiring, our truck is needing some re-wiring work as it is. I think I'd be better off just wiring in / adding, a totally seperate system. Much simpler I think, whether 12 or 24 Volt...

We plan on adding turn signals to our 53 M135. It is still 24 volt, but I believe we can just go off the first battery for power, and install a 12 V system? But not sure about that? Will the ground cause a problem, being that all the other lights, etc, are 24V? Also, and suggestions on a good...

Thanks

Hello to ya'all! Have not been on here for some time. So we bought 6 NEW 11.00 x 20 military tires, tubes and liners. All new. And even found folks that will change them for us at a very reasonable price. I do not want anyone getting hurt by these rims. We had been running 55# in the old...

So I changed the oil to Rotella T 15 W 40. At first seemed to have higher oil pressure. But after a good run it is about the same. At idle it is near zero? Could this be normal for these engines? I have heard some so it is? I sure don't like it. But it runs fine and seems to be ok, but...
