    Just finished my first restoration a 46 K-1 International Truck back to original (only have 10 miles on it). It had the carb rebuilt and fuel pump, but I always have had to use starting fluid to get it going. Now after replacing head gasket and core plugs (had some junk in there and heat problem) I need to get it running again for final torque and I can't get it going. It wants to start... Set up with 6v system and correct heavy gauge cables etc.
    The other times it ran I seem to be getting fuel ok, just not at start.

    I guessing I have some gunk in there now somewhere, because I have yet to see fuel dripping in when I do the throttle by hand. But I guess it's getting fuel pumped in, because if I try starting it too long, it seems to flood on float side. If I remove the cap for the small internal filter it sprays out after loosening. (no filter, using inline bowl filter before carb).
    Not too experienced with pulling the carb all apart. I'm at the point of pulling it off, but not sure where to start... What can I pull apart and clean without getting too dissembled... Carb pic is from after rebuild, before install and truck pic is before I finished it.

    If it won't start with starting fluid, something other than the carburetor is at fault.

    Check the ignition system, make sure you are getting spark. Today, reliable condensers for your distributor are almost as rare as honest politicians.

    Once you get it running, this link may help explain why you have to use fluid to start:

    Nice IHC. Is that a 214 or 233? Good to see it restored.

    Thanks all, Yes it's a 214. Got it running BTW, just over thinking the carb, cracked it in half and cleaned. Pretty much a lawn mower carb... Here's some more complete pics for you IHC fans. First resto and first paint job. Boy do I have respect for painters now! I lucked out and it came out pretty good.

    I restored a 1942 IHC M-1-4 USMC front line ambulance. Or mostly restored it when a life change happened. It had the 233. Couldn't find the correct green engine paint. Eastwood used to sell British Racing Green. Was VERY close. Yours looks good. Glad you got it going.

    Thanks it was fun.
    The winner on the paint was ACE hardware International Gloss green. Had tried a few.
