Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 623 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 623 | Morning update- I went out and checked the linkage and everything seems to be moving fine. Sprayed all connections with PB Blaster just in case, then hit the carb with some carb cleaner. I noticed when I shot the carb cleaner down the throat, it immediately leaked out the lower butterfly's front hinge point. I've never noticed anything coming out of that point so quickly. Attempted to start the truck, but it's just cranking with no sign of firing. It's almost like it's not getting any gas. Poured a little (very little, since I was afraid I'd flooded it) gas down the carb. No help. Since I've misplaced my mutlimeter, I'm heading to the store to get one so I can start trouble shooting the electrical. But now I'm wondering if my fuel pump not be pumping. Oh well. When I get back with the meter, I'll check that first and see what's up. I just ordered a coil and resistor from CP, but even though I'm just on the other side of Missouri from them, it seems to take a week to get anything. Hopefully they'll be here by Saturday. And hopefully I won't even need them and will have this thing running shortly. New spare parts are always good to have around. I'm still open to ideas, but maybe Hotrod's suggestions will do the trick. Thanks, guys.
