I recently acquired a Chevy truck. I bought this, like many before, to be a driver while I work on other projects and it never fails, it is a project itself. So after being stranded a couple times due to the generator not generating I swapped that out for the one from my '51 coupe while the engine is being machined and the carb had some issues so I swapped that to, now it runs worse. No kiddin'! So now I'm headed out to try a different carb and maybe work out a few other bugs... Could be worse, could be raining! --Joe
see...ya NEVER should have touched it. Something that old, if the battery isn't charging, just keep swapping batteries, or put in a marine battery.
I did put in an Optima, that lasted a week. Got another carb on, this is it! She lives! Got just a little more tweaking to do but it's up 'n' runnin'!
Well the new carb seems to be working real nice. Just got the generator back from the shop, they did a complete rebuild, that's going on today along with some STEEL fuel line. Rubber line has let me down too many times already...
All the progress on this machine will be do***ented here... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=695955 Hope you enjoy!
