Bought the '54 1 ton panel 2/07. It was hauled up out of Bakersfeild, CA where it had been parked for at least 10 years. It arrived 3/07 and with a bit of tinkering and gravity flow gassoline it ran beautifully. Overall it is in GREAT shape, but sat and dried things out. Now it has duel brake system and brakes done all around, (looking for 16" rear drums however). Fuel tank cleaned, lines replaced, etc. Then, wouldn't start, no fuel, fuel pump dried out, new fuel pump put on. Still won't start, carb leaking, EVERYWHERE. Carb rebuilt, obviously has been rebuilt several times in the past (rebuild marks). New glass bowl filter connected just before the carb. Argh, now there's fuel in the oil too. Still doesn't start and fuel still leaking from carb (small amount) and carb filling up with fuel.
What could be causing this? Too much pressure from the fuel pump? or what? If to much pressure, how is this corrected? Oh, also has new starter switch. Sorry, no pics, no camera, no knowhow. Bettyann
