What shall I do first?? I connected my jumper cables and tried to see if the engine would turn… No go!
The starter wouldn’t do anything. After pulling it I did get it to spin up once… probably bad connection
inside. I also noticed that the master cylinder was bone dry. I took the generator, starter, master cylinder
and
carburetor home to rebuild.
4 Sep $60 Ordered carburetor rebuild kit form
Old IHC parts warehouse.
6 Sep to 16 Sep
Went
to Winfield………. There wont be any work on the truck for a while.
17 Sep
I found out the carburetor that was on the truck was not the original carburetor, and I can’t find a kit for
this one so I will try to find an original
carburetor. One place wanted $ 500 for a carburetor.. Wow!
