Thanks guys. This has all been a huge help. It's coming together! One thing I notice is that there is some standing oil on the bottom of the air cleaner. Might have been placed in there or might have come in through the vent tube. Should I drain this or leave it? Sent from my iPhone using...

In other words, do I need this whole kit, or just the large tube? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you guys! Everyone has been a big help. My next question is about the air cleaner and air intake tube. As you can see from the pics, it's clearly missing the air cleaner hose that goes from the carb to the air cleaner. I'm wondering if it's also missing the air intake tube with the forking...

She runs! Even once it started cranking with the new batteries, fuel didn't make it to the filter as I could see it was dry. We had to tow it and bump start it. After that, it started up on its own and drove no problem. But now, after sitting for a few weeks, it doesn't want to start on its...

Thanks for the tip. I'll check the gauge. Not sure how I would go about adjusting it if needed. Is there a good manual for these jeeps that you would recommend that can explain little things like this so I don't have to bug you guys so much? I found one for the m38 but haven't found an A1...

Awesome, thanks. So two 51R size batteries wired in series? The white thing looks like it goes to the radio and accessories. Not sure why it says 12v. When we first got it, we put a single 12v battery in it. It wouldnt start on its own but it did bump start while towing it and it drove after...

1953 M38A1 Help I posted engine pictures above. The starter says 24v. I haven't quite been able to make out the writing on the voltage control box or generator yet. There is also a small box bolted on the firewall on the right side, you can see this in the pics and I took a close up of it. It...

1953 M32A1 Help Great, thank you! This is a good start. Fixed the 'car' part. Attached are a few pics. Also - I was told that the previous owner thought that this was an M38 but I haven't confirmed that. Can you tell from the picture? I'll look for a vin when I get back to it. Sent from...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum here. I recently came into possession of a 1953 M38A1 and see that this forum will be a great resource for me. I don't have a lot of information about the jeep but was told that is was running a few years ago before it was parked. We were not able to...
