good news Many a fuel problem has been solved by checking the ignition... :)

Weber carburetor? What size do you need for a 230? I have solex off a Unimog that I was considering although I think it will be too small.

Coil Hot starting is usually an ignition problem. Check to see if you have a fat blue spark when it's refusing to start. I would guess you have weak spark when hot. As far as fuel boiling over, check your winter/summer selector first. All the way forward is winter if I remember right. So...

Did you change the coil? When you go to start it when warm are you holding the throttle about 1/4 -1/3 open? A lot of these will boil the gas over into the manifold when shut off hot. I hold mine about 1/3 open and it fires immediately. If I don't it typically will start but not immediately...

Everyone is saying fuel but I say ignition. Check it carefully. Usually when things don't run right when warm it's ignition in my experience.

I would replace the condenser and check the points carefully. If that isn't it then I would swap the coil with a known good one. good luck. It's usually an ignition problem before fuel.

Everyone: Armada was the first to post and the first to call. Thanks for all the interest. I've been out of town for a couple days and missed the 4 million emails. At this point, Armada and I have struck a deal. Thanks again.

If you need help let me know. I am not that far away. I have a got about a million PM's about the turbo. I'll try to get back with everyone. thanks!

Go Fast: Are you driving a deuce to Oregon? WTF? :)

I thought my C turbo was pretty cool at first. I am tired of the noise now. Anyone need a C turbo for their D? This one works good so I obviously only want one that works good. I would also just buy one if you have a spare. thanks!

Goodyear 11.00 x 20s I have Goodyear 286's on mine. Rides good, great in the snow and rain. It's more of an all season though. Not as aggressive looking as I would like.

I'll sell mine. Eastern Nebraska, Western Iowa. 712-299-2279. Winch, hardtop, heater, whistler turbo, good 11.00 x20s. Drive anywhere. My wife doesn't like it much....Price negotiable, delivery to Colorado negotiable as well...

M37 A well kept M37 is a very good truck. An m37 that has been sitting, abused, neglected, etc is good hobby. If you have the ability, time, money, space, spousal support to bring it back to life that is. It's not complicated but it can take awhile to go through all the systems and bring it...

Scooter nailed it. I kinked the line somehow between the primary and secondary. Away i go. Thanks!

One other interesting thing, I just added the winch two weeks ago and I guess I could have banged up a fuel line or something. It ran fine afterwards though and I have only engage the winch for a few minutes. Wonder if the line could have been smashed by the driveshaft or something.

I do have fuel treatment and for good measure put in 5 gallons of gas. Thanks!

One other thing I just thought of. The return line, or what I assume is the return line at the tank, has just a trickle. With the amount of spray at the primary I would assume a pretty giant stream of fuel at the return line back into the tank. Scooter, should I have just as big a flow at...

I have a new problem. I was driving my deuce a couple weeks ago and it was about -25. It seemed to kind of gel up on me and lost power, could only run about 45 or so. Did not really worry about it as I know it was super cold and figured it would be fine once I got home. So, a few days ago I...

My truck weighs 10500 and it appears to be just about the same as Sasquatch Santas...

I have run mine as you describe. 55 is still a challenge to maintain on an incline. I also have a bobbed deuce and an M37. The bobbed duece is better in almost all ways at most everything. However: You can't just hop in the deuce and leave like an M37. (warmup) The stink is a bit amazing...
