We received our new fuel pump today. Got it on and tried starting the truck. The engine wasn't idling down.
Somehow a non automotive screw got down into the carb and had been keeping it from idling down.
I wish I could post a video.
Sitting in the house, I heard something going on in the garage.
I walk out there and the truck is running at an idle.
So excited!
The bad news is the gas tank is rotted through.
Time to search for parts again.
