    Cold Starting Issue

    I tried something different this evening. I pushed the gas pedal once to set the choke. Once it started it idled rough. I kicked the pedal like I was trying to kick it off of high idle. After kicking it three times the engine went to high idle and stayed. Another thing that might be important is...

    Cold Starting Issue

    I tried Rich's suggestion without not much success. It was colder this morning than yesterday and the engine idled pretty rough again. I guess I'll have to dig a little deeper.

    Cold Starting Issue

    Thx Rich. It appeared to slam shut pretty fast but a little lube never hurt anyone. I'll try holding the pedal down tomorrow.

    Cold Starting Issue

    Thx Mike. The tube is in good shape. Could there be an issue with the air control valve, vacuum diaphragm, or sensor? You say pushing the pedal once sets the fast idle. Mine doesn't idle fast until the engine has run for at least a minute. Should it immediately go to fast idle?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Mine has the same thing. On mine it's not a license plate light because there are two of those mounted thru the bumper. I thought it was used for hooking/unhooking a trailer. I'm interested in seeing if someone knows exactly what it's for.

    Cold Starting Issue

    OK I went out this morning to check it out. It was 36*. I think I figured it out. Usually I get in the truck , kick the gas pedal 2-3 times and start it up. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the gas pedal should be pushed 1 1/4 times before starting the engine. Today I pulled the air...

    Thanks for the input. Once it stops snowing around here and it warms up I'm going to try to check it all out. Could be awhile the way this winter's been going. We've had snow on the ground since December which isn't normal for SE Washington state. Normal years we see snow but it doesn't...

    Cold Starting Issue

    I've been pretty busy at work and didn't have time to post this question earlier. When I go to start the truck (IL6 250c.i. 1 Barrel Rochester carb) I depress the pedal a couple of times and start the engine. It idles very rough and if I don't hold the pedal down for a couple of minutes it...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Removed 8" of snow and 1" of ice that accumulated over the last 2 weeks. I fully expected to have to charge the battery but it started right up. Then I expected to have to perform snow removal to get it up the incline to the street but those "like new" 8 year old tires moved it right through the...

    Different approach for dash pad resto. Opinions please!!

    Have a friend help you put it in or you'll have more cracks to deal with. I bondoed one and it looked great sitting on the work bench. When I went to put it in it cracked in 4 places due to the flexing of installing it.

    No offense intended but if that's your 60% off price I'd hate to see your regular price.

    Kurt Russell ranch truck at Barrett Jackson

    Looks like someone replaced the seatbelts and didn't put the right ones in. If you go down thru the docket there are a lot of 65-85 Square bodies. Of all the trucks listed a vast majority are SB's.

    I've wondered the same thing ever since I replaced my heater core. I thought I hadn't put it back together correctly.
