    m37 wont start after its run for a while

    I think you are on to something with the points gap. 20 thousanths? I know its not fuel line. I replaced the coil last fall. People are not saying bowl level, which Is what I'd like to rule out

    m37 wont start after its run for a while

    Hi gang, my m37 will not start after it has run for a while. Once it is warmed up, if you stop, it will not re-start. I tried cranking without touching the gas pedal, sometimes it restarts after about 10 seconds. seems like its flooded, but normal recovery from flooding (floored and...

    those hard to find wc21 open cab seats

    while I am at it, I want some opinion from you all a. were wc21's ever equipped with 16/900 tires? I kinda like the look with larger tires, but I dont want to cross an authenticity line. b. does anyone have any photos showing a wc with a radio in it?

    those hard to find wc21 open cab seats

    For anyone having trouble finding seats for your wc21? Here is what I did... take a pair of m135 seats which seem to be easier to find. Cut out some 16g. side panels to correct shape. The seat ends up looking about right, albeit 2" too short. Should pass all but closest inspection.
