Re: Ok guys need some help desperate lol

yeah, if u got some help, have somebody start the truck, then while its on, disconnect the fuel feed hose that goes into the carb, and try to keep the truck on as long as u can untill it dies out. if u got an air compresser, then u can blow some air into the fuel inlet on your carb, but be careful cus it could go everywhere. then blow down the top vent tubes, dont use alot of air pressure.

this should clean it out, now just reconnect your fuel line and crank her back up, warm her up and tune from there.
tunin is easy with a vacum gauge.

Personally, I would never intentionally disconnect a fuel line while the motor is running. Sounds like a good way to end up with a toasted truck and a lot of painful scars. JMHO
