What have you done to your square lately??

[silverscottsk10]

Got carb on after rebuild
New gaskets
Started up n went to 2000 rpm
Adjusted fast idle out 1/2 turn
Barely 350 rpm
Won't change with idle/fast idle/or ratio screws
I'm at a loss of the issue

Got the motor and tranny back yesterday, my trans guy did me rite and just charged me for the housing and swapped my guts out for free and wrote fragile do not drop on the housing.

We all had a good laugh on me and thats ok, My motor guy found me a oil pan and checked the crank and the oil pump pick up and just charged me a little labor, Gods looking out for me this week.

My motor guy figured out probably what happened, I used some of my old exhaust bolts on the chain to hang the motor and we talked about them being 30 years old and them getting hot and cold everyday and they were probably soft.

Got the motor in and bolted up today(so happy to get that cherry picker off of it and sitting in the truck) rained out tomorrow with 3-6 inches of snow coming in behind it so it looks like this weekend it might be dry enough to get up under it and get this motor project on it's way

starter,distributor,plugs and wires,carburetor,hanging pumps and alternator, cooling system and wiring. dreaming about what the comp roller going to sound like, Sweet dreams

Glad it all worked out. I hope to get my motor in in the next couple days as well.

Put some ord greasable busings and new shackles on the front yesterday. The old ones were rotted out prety bad to where the axle was hitting the frame and moving around when stopping. The driver side frame mount bushing was wore through to metal on metal. Drives like a dream now, steers great. no wobbling or any of the problems i was having before.

Fast idle screw is when the carb/engine is cold. .. check the other side of the carb where the throttle cable is. ...

 

[silverscottsk10]

Yes I know
Screw and cable both are on driver side
Been -18 outside and not feeling like messing with an eddy carb in the cold

awe suit up and get err done lol. next time your out check to make sure the throttle position screw it's making contact with the throttle lever. weird that you can rev the engine but have no change in the tp screw.

Made my wife a little mad, it was too cold to work outside, so I overhauled my 670 carb in the bedroom. I was told there were fumes.

Just tell her it's not any worse than one of her lingering farts and she'll leave you alone about the fumes.

Just got my new motor back from the machine shop and went by and picked my tranny up and got home bolted it together and had it on the hoist lifting it up to get it over the core support and Bam. one of the bolts broke that held the chain to the back of the head and the motor and tranny hit the ground busting the rear of the tranny, oil pan and the fuel pump. What a DAY

Aww **** that sucks. Been there done it, but luckily for me, it was the motor coming out. Trans was junk and not to scare you, but mine also had a broken crank after the drop. It was about 4 feet in the air and dropped straight to the garage floor.

Lol none of this is comforting for a guy that about to stick a motor this afternoon. It's a looming fear.

I'm aware, but if he's going to change the oil pan, while it's off, he needs to inspect his crank.

I already spend 6 hours in the cold every morning lol
And I don't rev it
It revved up like it was getting the throttle pushed
But since messing with the ratio screws and idle I can't get it to idle or rev over 500 rpm
It's driving me insane

I meant to tell you this the other day. I would also fill the oil filter with oil before putting it on the engine. I do this every time I change oil. Old School. Taught to me by an old Ryder Truck diesel mechanic. He was a very good general mechanic as well as a diesel mechanic.

 

[HotRodPC]

I just wanted to make the point, he needs to inspect his crank for being broke. When you drop an engine like that, you can break cast cranks.

Always fill the oil filter for a new motor so it doesn't make so many revolutions before it starts pumping oil. Not a bad idea between oil changes IF and WHEN you can. Sometimes an oil filter is sideways and it's impossible to do.
