All — As an update, I discovered the issue. The rear driveshaft had three bolts missing to the pinion yoke (yikes, I know). A bit embarrassed to discover this so late, but I just ordered new bolts. Highly confident the shaking will now stop. Appreciate all the feedback. I’m sure I’ll be back...

Got it, will do. Thank you

I’ll take a look. Anything specific to lookout for ? I’m a total beginner here.

Hey everyone - hope all are well. As an update, I got the rig started again! WOO. And it no longer sputters in second gear. I replaced the spark plugs, coil, condenser and breaker point. It’s running ~well~ However, (always a caveat) the rig is still shaking when I accelerate. It does not...

Hey all — As an update, I was able to replace the second fuel filter with the toyota filter (thanks, @MatthewMcD !). It looks good, no more leaks. However, the truck still won’t start. I got the Hayes book and I’ll poke around for general information, but any folks have an idea of what’s...

Noted, will do.

awesome. much appreciated! will chase it down.

do i need a different type of filter for this newly discovered filter ?

I thought I did as well. I have been replacing another one near the carburetor. I did not realize there were two (welp).

In other news, I just tried starting the rig and it cranked but never started (welp). I looked under the hood and noticed this was leaking (whatever this is, it’s attached to the fuel pump). I’m guessing another type of filter ? You’ll have to excuse my ignorance. learning with trial and error...

Does not shake while i’m stopped. Only shakes when I start moving (shifting into first, pressing gas, etc).

Hey all — sorry for the radio silence. some updates: - I’ve replaced the fuel filter several times. each time, it seems like it runs better and stronger. however, occasionally, i still sputter out when shifting to second gear. i’m not sure if this provides any helpful context, but i always...

@FJmaine exactly the same thing is happening to me (except the triggering event is hills/inclining). will keep driving it locally and hope the gunk clears out. if not, i will look to cleaning the lines. (sadly, I just paid for the fuel tank to be cleaned and apparently that wasn’t too helpful).

I’m beginning to think the same. I bet there’s a bunch of gunk in the fuel pump. will figure something. many thanks again
