I recently got a carburetor in for rebuilding with a note from the customer saying that it had a flat spot after the last shop worked on it. Now those of us who've fussed with carbs for any amount of time know that there are many, many reasons...

After unscrewing it l never put it down...l was checking for any gunk on the inside (being curious abt the engines high temp on the gauge doing a head gasket check)...thats when l seen it...as l said earlier l may have overtightened it previously...

Could the cap have simply picked up some particles when removed and layed down somewhere dirty?

Did the previous owner indicate any recent work n the truck? Head gasket maybe? What year? I’m wondering if you have a lubricantion issue

Install like the pic you circled. The bottom isolator functions the same, lets the mount pull up, it does the same thing wether underneath or on top.

I didn’t see the need to have the display mounted permanently. I’m offroad only and it comes with me, but it stays in a padded hard-side zippered case. Not once have I needed it on the trail. For initial setup and occasional checks at home I’ll...

Used a few Ram Mount components and mounted it in the old choke location.

I put mine on the lower dash pad with some heavy duty plastic velcro type stuff called duolock. I like where it is.

I'm curious, what is the unit of power that the gauge is reporting and how is it sensed?

How bout removing one or both bearing snap rings and push one or both bearings in enough to install that last shaft snap ring? Then work on prying the bearings back out to install their snap rings. I'm not certain but I believe that's how I did...

Bueno. Got it. Thx for the clarification Steamer.

There’s really no need to do any math. The resistance to flow in the return due to height is insignificant. The return is controlled by the regulator which maintains 60psi on the supply side and the excess gets passed to the return. If you...

If I’m understanding you question correctly. As far as resistance to return flow, it doesn’t matter where the return enters the tank. The resistance to flow on the return will be determined by the height of the fuel that it is working against...

Interesting vid on break-in "HERE"

Good to know. Will keep the plumbing the same. Thanks for the help!

Yup, it's normal. That's how it maintains the right pressure to the carb during various fuel demands like WOT going uphill vs idle.

For curiosity’s sake, you could just temporarily plumb the return to the jerry can to see just how much gets returned. And you could make it all the way around block. :D

Yup! I had similar issues. "THIS" thread might help

just a heads up, timing cover bolts are hole specific, caution when installing the crank seal, leave cover loose install crank pulley to center cover then tighten cover, pulling the cam? get a side cover, valve cover and the 4 nut seal gaskets also

This is kinda what it looks like when going for the timing cover gasket. But I’m no expert!

It’s best and easier to remove the radiator and fan shroud to do that job. Chances if damaging the radiator are higher. Sometimes the pulley can be a little difficult to remove and if it slid off suddenly it could do some damage.

Mine sits on the right frame rail, basically inline with the fuel tank. ... Note, I've since ditched the return hard line for a single run rubber line from the engine compartment to near the rear bulkhead location. Also, when I get the notion...

This is a good style of puller, the two jaw will break in many cases. SnapOn has a similar one for much higher price.

I've done a mini-truck box but not a manual box, those little fawkers are a PITA. Definitely place the box in a large bin if your are fully disassembling, sure helps to keep everything self contained. Somehow I figured out a way to rotate them...

And stupidity lol. I never read the warning in the manual “Do Not Do That” till after the fact. It was some time after crawling around on the shop floor for a considerable amount of time searching for dropped balls that I finally read the...
