Yeah you could just have gummed up linkages on the choke. Hard to say though

 

So I got tired of swapping out carbs,wasting my time trying to figure out what was wrong and needing this truck on the road (DDing a suburban right now); I ended up buying a new Weber and adapter gaskets. So far I'm happy to report that it works flawlessly, and now I can get on to more fun parts of the project.

 

So I got tired of a multi-colored truck so I rolled some rustoleum. In hind sight I should get more lighting for my garage so I can see what I'm doing, but it turned out okay I think though.

 

Wow! Looks great. What kind of green is that?

 

Its hunter green. So with a one gallon of denatured alcohol mixed with my gas, I passed emissions easily the first go. Should my truck sound like a diesel though? I have gotten a few people asking if it was and it does sound like one when its idling.

 

hunter green looks like that? so much for me using that color. its a LOT lighter than what I was picturing from the stripe on the can at home depot.

 

So I got some new shoes for the old girl. I like how it looks. They are 33x10.5x15 BFG All Terrains.

 

Thanks a lot now I'm drooling. I'm guessing you're still jsut on stock springs?

 

Yeah still the stock springs, when I get the time I'm going to do 63" chevies and RUF.

 

Chevies are stupid easy to do. Just pre fab your hangers and stuff ahead of time and you can have it done in like 3 hours no problem.

 

Yeah they might be pretty easy except I don't really have a welder that I would feel good about welding that important piece of suspension on.

 

thats lookin' great !!

interesting how your truck has black interior... did you paint it or did the 1st gens come that way?

 

Actually I think mine is one of those black edition. It had black interior and the paint was originally black.

 

Thanks for posting this. This will really take out a lot of guess work for furture problems.

 

What sort of welder have you got? I burned mine in with a 110v wire feed running .030 flux core.

 

I have one of those harbor freight specials that is 5+ years old.

 

I like what you've done with the truck. Keep it going!

 

sokoji, you just used a roller and some rustoleum? any sanding between coats? looks like it came out pretty smooth and even from the pics

 

my interior is black, and I don't have a special edition or anything.
