Something to think about. Thanks!

I think that he was implying that dirt in my fuel system was causing the problem.

I have read some forums and most recommend installing a flow through pump near the fuel tank to be used to prime the carb then shut off. Does the electric pump push fuel through the mechanical pump then fill the float bowl allowing you to then prime using the accelerator pump? Some run the...

Thanks for the reply.Not familiar with a flow through electric pump. I will investigate that option.I did find a fuel leak where the fuel line connects to the carb and tightened the connection. Haven't attempted to start the truck today. Will try removing the carb and setting it in the bench...

I have a '65 F-100 six. It has a Holley model 1940 carb. I have been having trouble starting after it sits for a few days. Seems that the accelerator pump is either dry or the linkage is not engaging. It has that strange triangular linkage with the three slots. If I pump my gas pedal and close...

Put it back on the truck and the darn engine fired right up.Shut it off, tightened the air cleaner,collected my tools and closed the hood. Prepared to drive to the gas station to...

Float bowl full,acc.pump seems to work, engine starts but won't run.Manual choke and pumping gas has no affect. The take off carb is a holley 1940 like the one pictured. When I put it back on the motor will run. Seems that I should rebuild my Holley.

Bought a '65 F100 that has a replaced engine. I think that it is a 230,but it could be a 300. I bought rebuilt carb and when I removed my existing carb I realized they were different. Mine is I found out a Holley 1940 and the one that I bought is an Autolite 1100. It bolted up and the linkage...

Looking for 2-1" 5x5.5 wheel spacers for my '65 F100

Thanks for the reply. My truck is all black. The underside of the cab and bed as well as the bed wheel wells are painted what looks to be Caribbean Turquoise.

I have been off this forum for several years since I sold my '35 pickup. Got a lot of useful information here. Just bought a '65 f100 flare side short bed out of Texas. This is an original paint black truck, however the bottom of the cab and bed are painted a green color also original. Tag says...
