Gentlemen, now that we have established what this truck is fabricated from, can we get back on subject? Les we forgot, This is the “Engine Shop“.
When I first got my non running truck, I rebuilt the Rochester B carb, then took it apart two more times positive it was a fuel issue. It turned out to be a bad condenser. Once I changed it, it started right up and ran great.
You're right, pardon the off topic discussion. It's easy to get sidetracked.
Is there any way to test the condition of a condenser or is it simply a matter of "might be bad, switch it out"?
