NDT...you are the man!! It was the condenser. I pulled one off of my parts truck installed it and it fired right up.
Could someone test a known good coil for or on the G749 and let me know the ohm reading? I pulled the coils out of my parts trucks and tested them and the coil currently in my...
I tested the ignition coil from the parts truck. Primary is 1.5 ohms. Secondary is 8,280 ohms.
If weather cooperates tomorrow, I'll test what is in the truck currently. I am sure NDT is right about it being the condenser. Just thought I would test the coil out of the parts distributor in case.
I pulled a distributor off of a parts truck. The internals look nice and clean. Does anyone know how to test the ignition coil, ignition coil capacitor, primary circuit resistor and condenser? I don't see in the manual where it says how and didn't see anything in the search function here that is...
I like the looks of the 1100x20 tires too. The 900x20s just don't look right to me for some reason. How much space is between the duals with the larger tires?
I will try that tomorrow. The condenser was replaced with new 3 months and 80 miles ago so is the last thing I would have considered. Hopefully that is the problem. I'll post back what I find. Also I might pull a distributor off of a parts truck and compare everything.
I am trying to sort out another problem. Today I took the M135 to go out to the parts trucks to get a few needed pieces. The truck was running great until I went to accelerate from a stop at an intersection. As I was accelerating there was a huge backfire and I mean huge enough that it blew out...

The truck is in SW Kansas about 45 miles from the Colorado border. I used to live out there almost 2 years ago. It is so flat out there that at night, you can see towns over 50 miles away. The wind never stops blowing and winters were quite miserable. When it would snow, I have seen the snow...
I just realized that I have not posted pictures of my first 1952 M135 (#4984). I've had it almost 8 years. It needs some transmission work. One day soon, I will get it out here where I live now.
I use a 12 ton bottle jack and 6 ton stands.
Is this the port you are talking about? I believe it is for a heater, but my truck does not have a military heater installed right now.
Did you get your transmission figured out yet?
The accelerator pump I used is 2.385" long and 0.61" diameter. Yours should work.
I installed the carburetor with the new pump in it yesterday and it works great!! No more spitting, sputtering or stumbling when accelerating from a complete stop. Today I installed the exhaust system using the...
