Fuel pump was rebuilt sometime in the last 5 years. The gentleman passed away, so I'm not 100% sure when, but I know it was. But I think it had to have been a while ago, because oil pools on the top of it after while, so I think the gaskets may have dried out a bit while it sat.

Condenser was replaced. I have a plastic fuel filter before the carb that is about 5 inches from the manifold. So maybe I'll route it a bit further away. Oh it will cruise at 45, but it's as safe as my cj2a seemed at that speed.

Yeah it seems like after 15 minutes or so, I have to keep it floored for it to finally start up.

Yup, up and running, I've even gotten 45 mph out of her, but thats faster than it should be driven. Either way, now I'm just trying to figure out why she doesn't want to start immediately after driving it for a few miles. I drive it to the store, then gotta wait 15 min or so before she will...

I'm an idiot. I'm a man, I'll admit it. I'm not sure if the fellow before me had them labeled wrong, or what, but I should have checked before I did anything else. Either way, I want to thank you fine men for your advice and help along the way. #3 & #4 wires were backwards.

I also notice that every time I pull the plugs, the middle 2 are always wet, is that common? I checked them for spark, and they are producing good spark like the rest of them, but those two are always wet, and the other 4 are dry with white tips.

I put in some oil in each cylinder for a few hours, no difference. I plugged crankcase vent, no change. At 3btdc I got the best vacuum so far at 17 psi. I'm becoming more puzzled every day.

Well the guys at VPW believe I have a vacuum leak seeing how it's only pulling 16 psi. So, I tried the carb cleaner around the carb and intake to look for leaks, no joy, everything is tight. Is there anywhere else that I can look to for a vacuum leak? Also, the mechanical fuel pump does leak...

I did compression test with plugs in and no oil. Correct head gasket and correct timing. The guys at Vintage Power Wagons said compression will be low after a rebuild until rings properly seat. The previous owner was a engineer for Bell Helicopters, and jjudging by his work, notes and...

Alright, so here we are. Did a vacuum test and compression check this morning and it pulled 16 psi at the manifold and 90psi black carbon on plug but white on cone. 91 psi black/white 90 psi black only 90 psi black/wet 82 psi black/white 90 psi black/white I do have a crappy compression...

I'll do a compression test again in the morning, along with a vacuum test and report back. The last I checked, I had around 90 on each cylinder. And I have done nothing with the governor, not even sure where it is.

Hey everyone. Although I have been researching this site for some time now, and it's been very helpful, I now need some help. If anyone has some insight for me, or can direct me to a thread that already covers this, it would be much appreciated. 52' M37 that I took over the restore on...
