Hello again all. After having the truck for almost a year, I finally got it to start today!!!! I think I need to get the carb rebuilt or tuned as it shakes like nobody's business when it's running and dies as soon as I let off the gas. Now I've got 60 or so days before we move back to civilization to get it running consistently (or I'll have to sell it ), rebuild the clutch master cylinder, put in the e-brake cable, change the door windows, and remove/clean/reinstall the fuel tank. Y'all have been a great help throughout and I'll keep everyone posted on how it's coming along.

Congrats Kevin! I hope everything else goes smoothly...

 

Way to go Kevin! It's always nice to hear another old truck is running again. What year, model, etc. you working on?? ...Terry, '52 F1 and '90 F150

 

Right on! I'd check for vacuum leaks and mess around with the timing before tearing into the carburator. Good luck!

 

Way to go! It's a start. it's all down hill from here.

 

Kevin,

Congrats. It's always a big boost to finally fire up a project you have been working on for awhile. Keep up the good work.

good news is always well received ,, check for crossed wire (plug wire) and or spark arc between wires, carb should not cause shake.. will cause lope not shake
