I am restoring my truck and the carb was a total mess. Although it operated well enough I wanted to get all the parts cleaned and re-plated. Now the carb looks better than new but now I have this load issue. My intent was to keep the truck all original so I'm not sure if the Carter would have been original for my '49 1/2 ton.
As for the vacuum advance, I can not rule it out. Is there a recommended method to confirm it is operating properly? Its the only engine part that I have not specifically test, rebuilt, or replaced.
I've managed a lot of issues with this truck but the carb has always been sort of hands off for me. I'm going to check the float - sounds easy enough.
