M35a2 high idle repair

[Hobbyman]

Well I found the "extremely high" running problem. The fuel control unit assembly was stuck in the full open position. Took it apart and cleaned it, Put in a new o ring and fired right up. Locked the screws in position. I guess that can be expected when it has set not running for seven plus years. Moving forward.View attachment IMG_3412.MOVView attachment IMG_3415.mov

I always forget my coffee can too.

Seven plus years parked and now your truck runs OK, , that means I can park my truck and start it up again when I be 75 and the truck be 55?
Methinks neither of us will have much value in 2024.
But I been wrong before, once on a Tuesday I remember.

Sorry about that. It was actually a video of it running.
Very new to this site.
7 years not running? Correct. I got the jeep from a friend who took it apart and it sat in his yard for 7 years, Never ran it. So yes I am very happy for right now no issues, but it is no where ready for a test drive yet.
Here are a few pics where it was a month after I got it and the others are pretty recent.
