The comments about the o-rings not being designed for a twisting motion make sense, but I've not found what should actually be used for the secondary and final canister nuts. I'd had a couple of people tell me o-rings, but when you tighten them down the washer will turn and probably damage the...

Received my new rubber hose from White Owl and installed it Friday night. When I removed the hose I didn't get any fuel out of the line which didn't seem right, I expected the line to be full of fuel. I can't say it really made a difference, truck still almost dies, then recovers when you rev...

Update - Last night I got home late so thought I would just start the truck and see what it would do. It started right up, died. Started it again and it almost died, then idled. Does idle a little high, but that's because I turned it up a bit when initially trying to figure out the problem...

Was able to look at the throttle shutoff rod tonight. Pulled the cover, everything moves smoothly with no binding or sticking. Since issues related to this seem to be when the shutoff rod does not work smoothly I did not take it any further apart. After putting the cover back on I tried to...

While waiting for the new hose I'll look at the fuel shut off. Have tried to make sure the canisters are seated properly as I've had them off and on several times now. Could still be an issue, but I have been careful to make sure they are seated. Did order the JTonka spin-on's last week...

Yesterday I went to NAPA and got new fuel filters and replaced them just to eliminate filters as an issue. Once I replaced them and bled the system she started right up and idled....YES.........NO.........as soon as I gave her some throttle she rev'd up and then went back to not wanting to...

Ordered the rubber hose from White Owl. While waiting for that I think I will change the fuel filters out again even though they are not that old. I'll also look at the shutoff.

So the fuel cutoff sticking would allow it to run, but not idle?

I've tryed to figure out and fix the problem by reading TM's and multiple posts here on SS, but so far have not been able to fix the problem. There does seem to be multiple threads with similar issues. Truck is a 71 M35a2, non-turbo. I've only had the truck for about 9 months and it's been...
