Baby Bronco 72, get two more inches!!!

[orangecrush4u]

Just went though all the stuff, found some brakets and parts that always come up at the last minute. Not going to put the console in untill I have the tranny in and see where exactly it fits the best.

Well it's been some time and finally got the truck out of the garage and it ran like crap, I think it has water in the tank and crap in the carb.... Great, tried to set up the rear swing arm tire carrier and went a new route and ordered up a a heavy duty set up verse what came with the kit.." pics soon I hope

Tried to start the truck today after adding some dry gas. I got it running but like crap. I disconnected the fuel line and cranked it for a little and got the last of the fuel out and most of it was water. I was going to put some new gas in and run it but with fuel shortage I didn't bother. I added some sea foam and hope to add a gallon run it and then tear part the carb tomorrow.

Yea right.... We are good... did the last of cutting up of trees today and also put the 79 back together and should have never took it apart and prob would have made it to BYOB if I didn't:-[

Spent about 15 mins on the hard top today, almost complete. all that is left is the inside of the rear tailgate.
Here are some pics!!!

 

[orangecrush4u]

added 2 gallons with some sea foam and let it idle for a couple mins, seemed a lot better but not a HUNDRED percent.%)

 

[orangecrush4u]

Ran the truck for a few more minutes hope to add a couple gallons tommorrow and take it for a spin. I also gave the hardtop its final coat of paint. Now I have to order all the new gaskets.%)

 

[orangecrush4u]

put it back in the garage with the 79 after work today... have to figure where to start next...

 

[orangecrush4u]

ran the 72 for about 5 mis this morn, think its time to clean out the carb and remove the foam...

 

[orangecrush4u]

Took off the carb, and hope to clean it tomorrow before work.

 

[orangecrush4u]

slow progress here.....%) took the carb apart and it was a mess inside, soo much aluminum corrosion from the water sitting in the carb. Put it back together and hope to throw it back on first thing in the am and see how it runs. I might have to do it one more time.

 

[orangecrush4u]

Put the carb in and the new fuel pressure regulator and fired it up. I still have that dead spot so Im going to swap out the metering rod spring for the next down and see if that elimanates the dead spot. It runs soo much leaner now that I am putting 4.5 lbs of fuel pressure instead of 7.5, something I should have addressed a long time ago.

 

[orangecrush4u]

Spent about two hours with different combinations of metering rods and springs and went from a really bad dead spot to a almost no dead spot but its slightly still there. Im going to pull it off tomorrow and try one more step up jet and also make sure that I swapped the jets in the primary and not that it was a secondary... I want to get this right and put the hardtop on and take it for a rip out to montauk with the GF on sun after work!!!!

 

[orangecrush4u]

Spent another 2 hours this morn and even went up a step in the jets and still not getting rid of that dead spot...DAMIT!!!! :-[

[orangecrush4u]
