With the same issue, could that fuel line have clogged back up?

Maybe this will help you.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/transmission-torus-members-failure.223767/#post-2614262 This is from M37Keppys thread on the torus failure, but I wanted to ask the question here so everything is in one place. If that bushing is your smoking gun and if the transmission is losing fluid...

That's a good idea too. Take off that crossover pipe that goes to the muffler and see what happens. Ground wire check would be a good thing. Brad sent me a video of the fuel pump output and it seems to be inadequate compared to the stock fuel pump output that I have seen.

You might try to find a copy of TM 9-8647 and go through that carburetor. Did any jets or tubes get switched around when you opened it up?

Brad, I sent you an email with the carburetor documents, but here is a link to them that we uploaded here. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/holly-carburetor-model-885-ffg-tm-9-1826d.223601/

This!! I think your truck needs it's own dedicated thread Brad. Complete with pictures of that beauty.

Go check the fuel inlet line to the carburetor. There is a fitting where the line goes in and on top of that is a wire screen that gets clogged up and causes exactly what you are describing. Remove that fitting and check the wire screen. Here is a picture of one I dealt with that was causing...

Hi Brad. PM me your email address. I have three Powerpoints I can email you that will walk you through a rebuild. It has pictures, TM info , etc. For whatever reason, Powerpoints are not allowed to be uploaded here. This place carried carburetor rebuild kits under part number K4125. I do not...

Could some of the cracks in the cast iron be welded and repaired? I'm not a welder and know nothing about it, but I have seen some weld it with success. They weren't welding engine or transmission castings though.

We want lots of pictures and a "how to" on this!!

I have driven an M135 with the 1 1/4 bore cylinders and an M211 with the 1 3/8 Canadian upgrade. Both worked very well with stock master cylinder and I honestly couldn't tell a lot of difference. I drove the M211 that had the 1 3/8 wheel cylinders from Big Timber, MT to Bozeman and back, as well...
