If you're getting fuel past the glass bowl I would take the nut loose on the bottom of the tillys to see if the fuel is making it that far if it don't pour out at a good rate it could be the jet clogged in the bottom of the bowl or a float or needle valve issue but if you are getting good flow...

Thank you rawhidekid, when I take the motor out I'll put the vinegar in the radiator

When I started out I put 1 gallon of blue wolf (local mining equipment degreaser) to 2 gallons of water and I let it soak for about 3 days, starting it everyday and letting it warm up to get it circulating, then drained it, back flushed, then I put thermocure in it and let it do its thing for...

Yeah I realized that when I first started on it, I gave it about half a pump, might very still been too much

That makes sense because my great grandfather bought it from another guy in Williamsburg va, pretty nifty to know thank you guys, the next issue I have number wise is that I've tried every way in the world to get the numbers off my block, but I just can't get anything, and I dread trying to get...

I know I'm new at this but I would think that if you wa's wanting to drive it I wouldnt worry about originality but safety and good maintenance, I know I might stur up a hornets nest by saying this, but the way I look at it eventually no matter how many times you wash it or change the oil...

OK so I finished flushing the radiator, not much rust mostly grease, I used blue wolf degreaser which worked like a charm, now it's running at about 165, but anyway today I got to looking and I noticed a number stamped right in front of the seat on the drivers side that says nk5209 and I was...

When I was getting my a started up I ran into a no spark situation, new coil, new condenser, new battery, but still no spark, came down to tracing continuity and found that my points were not making up, had to take a file to them and it fired right up. If I was you I would check continuity...

Does anyone besides me use or have heard of blue wolf degreaser? I use it to clean everything because it does such a great job. The reason I'm asking is because I was wondering if I could use it instead of simple green to remove grease and oil residue out of the cooling system in my A or would...

Another diesel oil I can vouch for is delo, I may use rotella because it is better suited for my line of work and conditions, but my brother runs delo in his 6.0 powerstroke and his dump truck for the simple fact that it doesn't create as much stiction in the high pressure oil pump in the...

Ok, so clean with simple green then run the evaporust a couple of days and then remove the radiator again and back flush it and flush the block?

Will do, I plan on draining the radiator and putting evaporated or rust911 whichever I can get ahold of and running that thru and then back flushing the whole system:)

Re- soldered a pin hole in my float and decked the two half's of my tilly plopped it back on and road it up and down the holler.... yes where I'm from its holler.... a couple of times and got it up to temp and it's running at about 180-183 sitting still idling, is this normal?

So I ran it today awhile and got it upto temp low speed, I ran it a couple of miles and stopped and checked the temp and it was 180-183 sitting at idle, is that normal? I don't know what temps they are suppose to run?

Alittle info on rotella.... in my experience it has the best lubricating value of any oil, I had a certified mechanic tell me once that he ran into a problem with it lubricating too well and bypassing the scraper ring and the engine lost compression and he had to do a top end flush on the...
