A little prep work/cleaning prior to stabbing the motor

So this thread has been napping for 3+ years. I started my own business 3 years ago (Senior In-Home Care agency). Could not be happier but the first 2.5 years were 70+ hours/7 days a week. Have barely had the time to work on my own rig these last several years. Have this 12HT long block that...

Problem is finally fixed. I sent the computer board to @Engineer8000 and he gave it a clean bill of health so unfortunately that was not the issue. I have not been on mud the last week or so but the truck started dying again. Exact same symptoms. So Russ recommended I clean the terminals and...

Quick recap and apologize for the slow responses. My day job takes a lot of time so I get very few hours in the shop and on MUD. This is a good thing as it’s my own business and it’s been rocking the last year or more. Hence this being my first thread activity since maybe September of last...

I assume you’re referring to the fuel cut solenoid. If it performs well being hard wired then where would that point me to as an issue to resolve? Is that controlled on the emissions computer board? And thank you for your input

I appreciate your input and some good points. Your question about vacuum leak sparked an idea. I extended my vac gauge through the firewall yesterday so I could read it while driving. Everything seems good. At full throttle vac drops all the way down. Cruising it holds steady and as soon as...

Absolutely. Great suggestion. Actually have a bunch of notes written on a page back at the house and will add this one to it. Have one of those in my tote with 60 harnesses which is where I pulled the spare AC amplifier.

One note to consider is this 60 only shuts down at HWY speeds with AC on and clutch engaged. Another discovery I’ve made is shifting through the gears (at lower speeds) with the AC on you can watch the tach every time you push the clutch in and the tach drops down towards 100-200, then bounces...

Jim, this is a great point. I thought about the solenoid being negatively impacted at operating temps or possibly based on load/demand, but when I switched the carb from this gentleman’s other 60 over to this truck in question, the same symptoms presented themselves. Then I put the carb from...

Yes sir. At idle in the shop I get close to a 200 increase in RPM’s when the ac button is engaged. Great suggestion on checking igniter connections. I’m also going to advance the timing a few since it’s fully desmogged. Right now it’s at the factory 7 degrees.

Good thought Jim and don’t hesitate to keep throwing ideas out. The fuel cut solenoid checks out. I thought having the fuel cut relay (vacuum connects to the backside of the carb) deleted during the de-smog could be impacting this. Was told this has no impact. The previous shop capped this port...

Ah yes. It’s still on both the carbs involved. Thank you for clarifying.

I do plan on clearing both the fuel lines again just to be certain

Hey Matt. So I’m on my 3rd Napa (opaque) filter. The second one I removed and cut open was very clean. I can shine a light behind it and get a pretty good visual on the one currently in there. I’ve been stumped by a fuel filter before and it’s not a good feeling. The difference with this...
