Great write up! Another valley plate fixed! Thank you!!

Thank you, I got this sorted out. I had the accelerator rod on backwards. It now has full movement and no binding. However the pump is still not moving. I am going to try and adjust the pump rod connectiong link again and see if I can get it moving. But now my GX460 has the dreaded Valley Plate...

Yeah, when I physically manipulate the pump, the truck starts up.

Thank you, I realized the accelerator rod was on 180 degrees backwards. 😒 I now have full motion in the pedal and the the throttle fully opens. However, it is still not actuating the pump arm. I made sure the stacking order is correct on the linkage. "The linkage must have a washer both above...

Yes, it opens, but doesnt appear to be fully open.

Can someone help me figure out why my accelerator pump is not getting action? See post in build thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1983-fj60-restore-build-elsie.837074/post-16434458

Thanks @bhsdriller , I got some washers, but I am still having issues. I have an Old Man Emu suspension lift, and 4" body spacers. I feel like when I push the accelerator down, there is not much movement and it is still not moving the pump arm to the suggested 9.5mm. Here is a video of the...

Perfect! Thank you!

Carburetor Help Needed! Another 3 years have passed since my last post. The truck has been sitting. I fixed the manifold leak, I hope, but haven't been able to start due to carburetor problems. Today, I see what the issue is. I cant find this bushing and washers. The throttle pump arm is not...

Thinking about selling this project., I just cant seem to find the time to finish. Old Man Emu Suspension LIft Installed! Message me if you are interested, I am in Denver.

Hard to believe it’s been almost a year to the date since my last post. As usual, there are not enough hours in the week. After diagnosing the broken fuel pump above, I ordered a new spacer from SOR and a new fuel pump from Autozone. After installation, the truck started on first try. After a...

So, my fuel delivery issue is the fuel pump. Here is a photo of the original stock fuel pump when I took it out. Why did it happen? Did it require a spacer? There wasn't a spacer when I did the teardown. Oh yes, there was!! I just reviewed footage of the teardown and it was stuck to the engine...

Thanks for asking! I got the motor back from the machine shop in late May of 2015. The rebuild kit they included, and machined the engine to, was a Masterkit 704230. I used the Factory Service Manual to put the engine back together. 2F after rebuild by Jay Grimm posted Mar 1, 2017 at 4:03 PM...
