While looking at a parts truck (M37), I noticed that it had strange lockout hubs. These were not the typical twist type. They had what looked like two pins that were parallel with the axle. The pins had levers that seem to be used to disengage the pins. Anybody know what these are? Were they...
No I didn't change the coil, but if the coil was bad, why would it stay running when hot but not restart? I have tried starting the truck with and without the throttle part way open - same result. One thing I did notice, was a slow girggling - pulsating sound coming from the intake. Like you...
Thanks for all the replies. Just thought I would post an update and ask opinions again. This is what has transpired.
- Changed the cap, rotor, points and condensor. I already had these new parts.
- Couldn't even get spark.
- Talked to Charles Talbet, and arranged to have electronic ignition...
Thanks for the reply. I have a renewed tank, new lines, new inline filter, new fuel pump, and a new carb. None of this has changed since parked. Gas is definately getting to carb. I drained the carb to check for water, but the fuel has stabil in it, and I didn't find water. Could it be the coil...
I just posted a similar thread in the wrong spot. Here is the situation.
- truck ran great when stored
- truck stored for 4 months in garage
- truck started up nice drove it across yard idled fine then quit
- checked fuel (not empty) added fuel, wouldn't start
- pushed truck into garage, started...
Good news. I removed the exhaust and found about 4 " of the muffler packed with wild turkey pellets. Once I cleared the mess, she ran just fine. The pellets must have been stored there by a chip monk or mouse. It smells so awful when it burns, I wouldn't wish the odor on an enemy.
Thanks for...
I think I have a head gasket problem. When the truck warms up, smoke starts to come out of the exhaust. It isn't a fuel or oil odor, it smells like burning straw or grass. Does this sound like anti-freeze? It is possible I have a mouse nest in the exhaust, I'm going to disassemble tonight to...
Well, it's been 3+ yrs since I started a frame off. Tried to start her up Sat, but she just backfires and pops. Here's what has been changed:
- Ran pretty good when parked.
- Installed new fuel pump
- Installed new carb
- Installed new distributor, tried to set timing close before install...
Struck out! Seems my manual is from 1955 - not for the B1. Anyone have a picture they could post?
Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone tell me where the flasher unit is supposed to be mounted on an m37B1? I have an M37, but I am adding turn signals.
Thanks in advance,
