It could have well had a hornet’s nest in it on the bench possibly but I think the only problem with the carby at the moment is the fuel supply not hooked up to it. It’s only running off what I’m tipping into the bowl. You may well be right but once it has a fuel supply it will help determine if there’s anything else needed from the carby. Thanks John

It's always a good idea when you are sanding or filing points that you turn the Sandpaper upside down so you're using the back side of it and run it through the points after you're done sanding what happens in a piece of sand from the Sandpaper will get in between the points and stop it from sparking I've seen this many times in the last 30 years it's so easy to do and so easy to check and so easy to forget. That is a very cool ride I hope you get it where it can be used again in some limited fashion. Thanks Bob from Virginia USA

The one next to the trailer is the ford v8 blitz. She’s stuck that one. I got it years ago and have had trans fluid down the plug holes. We will do one on it, whether it’s a start up or a fix it video. They are a great looking cab. You’d have to do the trans and diff as well to make it easier to use and a decent road speed. Maybe the cab onto a late model dodge 4x4 would be the go. I will video any shows that I go to. The last one I went to in the trucks was rained out. But got some in cab stuff of the white 4000. The tractors I will be doing as well mate. The last tractor one I put up didn’t do so well but that was early in my KZread journey. Plenty more to come Neil.

Have a 1990 toyota that had a real head scratcher issue. She would cough and fart occasionally, but refused to run for more than a few revolutions. As spark was intermittent, i in turn Replaced coil, distributor cap, rotor and condenser, points, all leads checked and cleaned all wiring, earthing connection, including trying powering coil directly from battery, and bypassing ballast resistor. Checked dizzy insulator for points wire entry, vacuum advance operation and still no luck. Checked compressions, even replaced all spark plugs. After all that i decided to start pulling dizzy apart, and noticed baseplate earth had an oily film on body contact surface. gave it a clean, and tried again. She instantly fired up, and ran sweet. 3 months later issue was back. So checked same connection again, even replaced that baseplate braided earthing wire, no luck. Eventually decided to try putting back old parts i had replaced, one at a time. Turned out the new condenser (Japanese made) had died, after only 500km's. They may be simple systems, but they sure can be frustrating at times.

Hi mate great comment. I know what your saying. The most basic stuff can sometimes be a head scratcher. That’s what this one was like, the points weren’t earthing through the distributor. She’s had years of rain on it and all the old wiring was all corroded connections. I copped a lot of nasty comments over it from armchair experts no doubt some of them know what they are doing but until you are actually here seeing it, the input doesn’t mean too much too me, unless it’s friendly advice. I don’t like replacing stuff in these start up videos because I like showing how things will go with the parts they were sitting with. Money will make anything go. One bloke said that I near filed the points away but they were that corroded, which the camera didn’t show. Anyway mate I will be doing a drive video on it when I get a chance and she will behave then. Great comment again mate and thanks for watching

the condensor may be short cct...the dist is loose...how about setting the points....make a half decent job of the wiring.....youve just about filed the points away.....clean them.....check the carbon brush on the top of the dist cap..... Gavin.

Just as a matter of interest for you. When you gunna' try and get an old donk running its always best to take the points right out of the dissy, clean the base and the face's and just make shore all connections are clean and tight. Spend a bit of time on all your before you try and start it work and it'll save you a hell of a lot of grief and unneseccary fuckin' around. Also, really you should give their throats a dose of oil and wind them over without the plugs in just to lube the rings and walls then don't be shy giving it a drink to start it with. There will be sludge and build up in the manifold and ports that will soak up some of the fuel before it gets to the point of fire and brimstone. Love all the old stuff.

Hi mate yeah I’m not sure. They may have shared a lot of different parts with other vehicles of the same era. It would make sense being in war times

Should restore it

G'Day Steve . I didn't hear if you said or not. Do you reckon that engine to a 216 ? I believe they had a 194 up till about 1936 though . Prolly a 216 would be my guess. Took a bit of determination to get the old girl to crack off for sure . Cheers mate 🌵

Hi Scott yes it’s a 216 in this one. She has a lot of open, rough wiring so I’d say it was a corroded connection between the coil and the dizzy, battery maybe. There was that hot one I couldn’t find till it burnt me😂. Good fun playing with them

No street bike mate. Got a few old dirt ones but nothing I will be doing anything with at this stage. The little white bucket truck (if that’s the one you mean) we had going on the weekend just gone and I did video it so keep an eye out for that?

Ce camion doit être stationné dehors depuis longtemps, de l'eau doit stagner au fond du carter d'huile . Lorsque le moteur tourne il faudrait enlever le cache-culbuteur pour voir si l'huile remonté bien aux culbuteurs

It's These MEN and their Women are the people that Make Children's Lives Wonderful and Loved!! They don't have to but they care and they Give their children and the communities Children the financial needs and the emotional needs to help them grow and repeat the cycle! In this way they grow a better society and an easier lifestyle as our lives and history has shown. Unless EVIL people that want power and control out of selfishness take over and destroy it all through their Marxist ideologies of selfishness and sexual deviancy through confusion of who they are and are meant to be!! The love, shelter and care these men and women give is ordained from GOD!!

Mate i get that much criticism from trying to provide a bit of basic entertainment and it’s hard to determine who’s giving it to me and who’s not. The truck is up in the bush and to be honest when your on a tight schedule I didn’t want to walk back and get the right tools. Thanks for watching
