Here is a picture of the main throttle body after assembly. The throttle plates are wide open. When you are assembling there are 2 bearings that are key to the throttle plate shaft. Mine were shot and here is a neat trick. Get some 608 skateboard bearings, then tape the outside of the...

Update: Saturday morning me an 73m819 got the carb installed. She fired up quickly but was running at WOT and had to be choked back extensively until we figured out the throttle linkage was not hooked up correctly. The carb by design is in a WOT position and the throttle plates are held by the...

Vt, the bowl was okay, lots of dirt really the problem was in the air passages and all the air valves. These were solid gunk, I went through a gallon of high dollar car cleaner and it is clean. I think these things would run through anything but now having tore apart I know what I have and...

Day 5, quick update. I was baffled for a day on why the throttle plates where in wot position when I assembled the carb. 4 tear downs later I remembered an old post where it was explained that the carb is a reverse vacumn carb and the plates start at wot. We are putting on at 7:00 am...

Okay good progress tonight, After a gallon of carb cleaner I can see the carb again and have clean passageways. Even figured out where all the parts go :beer: Here is a new picture of the clean body and original picture for comparison.

I got the M62 home to Georgia 2 weeks ago and have been working on trying to get her running. The story is that this engine has had serious engine problems as far back as anyone on ss can remember. Last Friday me and 73M set out to see if we could get the motor to fire. We actually had it...
