    had rough idle, now won't start

    i'd like to do the same but i just wanted to wait long enough to put a center mount tank under the bed and run good lines with AN fittings. the lines from the tank to steel lines are new and pump to carb is new as well so the steel lines probably sucked up some trash from the tank. i've actually...

    had rough idle, now won't start

    thanks man i will. :) UPDATE: checked for spark, plug in the wire sitting on my inner fender where i could see it as i cranked. it made that binding sound again and only for the few rotations it cranked fine did i get spark. as long as it struggled i got no spark. i wonder if something is wrong...

    had rough idle, now won't start

    1. i only have one tank so it's the only line going to the pump 2. just made me feel stupid hahha, forgot about the spark. today's my birthday so it's been crazy with my wife and all these kids. i'll get on that next.

    had rough idle, now won't start

    welp, there seems to be a blockage in the line from the tank to the pump. connected a fuel line from a gas can to the pump and had good fuel pressure when i cranked it. the filter even filled up with fuel but it never started after cranking for a while. gave it two pumps with the throttle pedal...

    Buying New Carb

    like I said... nothing but good things about demon carburetion. unfortunately I can't say from experience but my next carburetor to replace my edelbrock will be a demon.

    Buying New Carb

    the smallest demon is actually a 625cfm if i recall, but i've heard nothing but good things about them. even chuck hanson spoke well about them if you remember him from several car shows on T.V. https://youtu.be/jN2xbt6Mzdc

    Carburetor issues?? maybe trash...

    never deteriorating floats but gaskets and hoses definitely. had to completely tear down the carb before and i used brake parts cleaner inside all the ventures and crevices in the carb. do you have a fuel pressure gauge to judge your pressure? that's the first thing i'd look for is pressure...

    had rough idle, now won't start

    so it seems the fuel filter is blocked up and the seals are all messed up even though it's never been taken apart, until now. visibly looks good from the outside but as soon as i disconnected it the blocked fuel all ran out. bought a new filter from O'Reillys but of course the rain came down...

    had rough idle, now won't start

    i'll let you know tomorrow. according to my daughter is wasn't registering on the gauge today even though it was just a couple days ago, and it's a brand new fuel pump. i'll find out for sure tomorrow as well as with the spark. UPDATE: verified the fuel pressure gauge and definitely wasn't...

    had rough idle, now won't start

    had initial timing set at about 10* before it quit running and more than triple checked firing order, fuel pressure right at 6psi. probably dumb question but would the fuel pressure gauge register while its cranking or only once the engine is running?

    had rough idle, now won't start

    stuck a screwdriver in the cable today before editing the last post. thought i heard it clicking but it was hard to tell or hear over the engine cranking. might have to find a buddy to help out with that soon. probably get the wife to help out tomorrow. i was definitely getting 12v to the...

    had rough idle, now won't start

    350runner thanks for the reply. i actually did pull the pan yesterday. i rotated the assembly checking for anything unusual even shining the flashlight towards the cam just out of curiosity. couldn't even find anything in the oil, looked clean. so needless to say i'm stumped. update: took out...

    Rough Idle, dies on occasion

    verifying timing is pretty simple. plug the vacuum advance and the port on the carburetor then set your initial timing with the vehicle at idle, usually around 750rpm or so. to check overall timing rev it to 3500rpm or higher depending on how high you can rev and read your timing. a timing tape...

    R. Buckley, you ever get your truck figured out? I actually have a similar problem with mine but didn't know whether i should make a new thread or not.
