Fuel issues

The red tooth let's you know the hh is timed correctly. It can be 180° out.

Thank you folk. Y'all truly are a treasure trove of information. Got the little bugger out. Now just waiting for that beautiful brown truck to show up Monday, & maybe some decent weather. This really is an addiction isn't it? Havent got this one running again yet, & I've managed to find a 5 ton at a car lot today I get to call about Monday. Craziness I say.

There is still usable parts in your old IP. If you decide to not hang onto it, I'd be interested in buying it.

 

[mattgunguy]

If I sell it, I'll give you a call.

It's alive!!! Well sorta. She running again anyways. She wont start on her own unless I have the pedal to the floor or a shot of starter fluid is used. Then the idle is way up there. Around 1500rpm, with a lot of grey exhaust. Back to the TM's. Good times.

This is the IP we put in.

Matt sorry your having so much trouble and she is still not right. Did you install the pump?

 

[welldigger]

Once it cranks does it run smoothly or does it shudder when you try and give it throttle? I'm wondering if you got the HH timed 180 degrees out.

 

[mattgunguy]

I did install the pump. Followed the TM directions. She doesn't shudder at all when I give it throttle. Real smooth and even both up and down. I didn't take the HH out of this pump before putting the IP in.

Up and running. Went for a twenty mile or so spin around town. Didn't notice any new issues. Still idles a bit higher than I am used to, but not to the point that worries me. Also need to turn up the fuel some, kinda sluggish uphill.
A funny thing though, I took the time to install a NOS exhaust kit while she wasn't running ( the one she came with wasn't anything but a monoxide hose with a muffler ), she is actually quieter now. Looks a heck of a lot better too.

 

[gimpyrobb]

SWEET! Glad to hear shes alive. There is an idle adjustment on the ip somewheres. Maybe she just needs broke in.

 

[mattgunguy]

I'm gonna give it some time before I go and fiddle with things. See what she does first. Gotta get a blasted headlight now. Fix one thing and something else gives out, go figure. Thanks for your help though. Without you and Floridianson I'd still be throwing things and cussing a lot.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Hey now, throwing things and cussing a lot, is a favorite pas-time of mine!

Me too! Threw a 1/2" impact through a customers windshield once! Didn't get fired either! That was when I was a lot younger though.

I suppose that's worse than me throwing a fist through my own windshield. Twice. Different trucks. Not to long ago. Oops!

Thats funny right there! Back in high school I installed an alarm for a buddy in his truck, he wanted to test the "shock" setting, so he smacked the windshield cracking the sh!t out of it. He never lived that one down.
