Whoever worked on the truck before needs to be slapped. The rebuilder didn't believe the truck even ran before until I showed him a video. It was completely packed with sludge and missing a metering rod!

Well worth $120.

Sometimes I have to stop and just know when it is time to pay a professional to do the job. Trial and error is ok sometimes, but you would never see me rebuilding an engine; it just isnt in my skill set.
I can tear a carb apart, clean and rebuild it, but adjusting it is something I get someone who knows to do for me.

Good looking project you have! to the board, hope you keep us posted !!
