Ihave really liking this old truck, but the time came to put in the 366 spring. So I did, it was pretty staight forward( so I thought) . Now its been apart 5 times and the last time I made sure all the internal were working properly and it stiill wont start. Any heip would be Greatly apperciated.

 

I suspect your throttle lever is on the shaft wrong. Remove it and turn the throttle lever shaft by hand. You are feeling for the gov' spring tension, just to the point of tension, then install the throttle lever back on to it's previous indexing. You did make note of that? A couple lines from the right is where I have seen them installed, including my own. That is standing in front of the truck facing it...

 

I was careful to index it properly but I'LL CHECK. Also the fuel volume goes up accordingly with the gas pedel.

 

to be sure, press the Skinny pedal all the way in while starting to test if your shaft indexing is correct.

 

I'll do that. It's kind of wierd. it seemed like the job easy. One more thing, now it has fuel coming from the throttle shaft could that be pulling in some air? but it seems like it's getting a lot of fuel through the injectors. thanks

 

Mine has poured a leak all winter and never hesitated to start.

BUT, you should pull the pump-top again, push out the throttle-shaft, and replace the little O-ring on it.

If it persists to leak after that, then you will probably need to replace the throttle-shaft bushing.

 

Just by chance...the fuel shut off isn't disconnected is it?

 

no and clicks likeits working but im still gutting it and trying again..... stll there's lots of fuel coming out of the injector lines.

 

Its possible to disrupt the manual kill switch and have it not start. Happened to someone I know.

 

I cecked and made sure it was working the no fuel linkage. I got it running today. Runs ok need to try to make better adjustments to afc and full fue but I'm not getting the boost or fuel I was.
