hello , Jim


It's Tully again, well I honestly think I found it (long 3rd years of Ms. Poof Poof aka my pick up)


anyway it sputters if not warmed up , a tick/sputter in a lifter/s /or cam lobe that what it really was (probably why it killed a head gasket ) found out plugging out the pcv (thought it was that make the tick tick sound


Number 2/3 cylinder exhaust or intake valve or multiple lifters

Bugzturbo is the poster.

what is the thread , that the discussion about the carter yf knock off was on ?

thank you

Hi Tully,
Someone was asking the other day if anyone had experience with those Ebay Carter YF knockoff carburetors.
The thread is not too old...

thank you jim . for helping me

I just got up and replied to your PM Tully.
It' snowing like crazy here. Got to go shovel the sidewalk.

Jim , I need an opinion on a truck subject can you pm please

sorry for and old thread hijack thing

your starter issue is/was the bendix bull gear shape the camfer is way to pointed or ground /warn to mesh properly with the flex plate gear , my big 6 ate a few starters , it turn out to be just that , the starter either just hops out and grinds its self up , or mine also weld its solenoid shut a few times

one get a better ( modifying a different starter gear ,or get a bull gear off something else like I did ) the starter gear need to be thicker at tips of the teeth ,or it ends up hoping out no matter if its bolted down right ....
