Walker, congrats on your first MUD message & I will give you your first "like"! I was most fortunate to catch Marshall at a weak moment to get him to sell me the one he had stashed away! Will keep an eye out for you....winch or non winch?

A winch would be nice but it's not necessary for me right now. Im just looking for a nice used one that's a good bit cheaper than new
Also thanks for looking.
@JToobe, I noticed OTMT was moved to October this year vs August. Typo?
Good catch, I had in my mind that it was October......Also didn't mean to lock down the calendar thread and trying to figure out how to undo that!
Well. Stranded on the side of the road. Looks like the 60 is headed back to Dr. Marshall.
That sucks, need any help?
Currently sitting in a parking lot. 432 N. Pleasantburg. Gets up to cruising speed then loses all power. Some kind of oddball fuel issue. Idles fine, revs up pretty solid with the choke, but when at speed while pressing the accelerator, it stops responding without any indication and the engine dies outright.
Tow should be here by 2130.
Edit: Idle was pretty high, 1500rpm. Pulled the choke cable from the carb and it dropped down to the 600-700 I'm used to seeing.
If the choke was being semi-engaged while I was pressing the accelerator, would that flood and cause this behavior?

Sounds more like it's not getting enough gas...fuel pump or carb most likely
So we've arrived at the point where there's too much fuel, or not enough? I figure if the pump was on the way out it'd have an issue idling, but it'll sit there and hum through an entire tank if I let it.
Debris in the tank maybe?
Possibly? The tank was swapped a few years ago I believe. Though it's only a 14gallon capacity. Think that might need to change soon.

Well If it has something to do wth the fuel then never mind.
Thanks! Scouring the boards now that I'm home. From my reading, it could be vacuum issues though I didn't detect anything noticeable. Didn't see any cracks in the intake manifold when I had the carb off.
I didn't check the air intake tube. Should have done that, and made sure it's not clogged.
My new toy/project to learn.

Gabe does Drive do tours? Would be pretty cool to see how they make body panels.
