Choke and TM question

[rottiedog]

Hey there,

Truch is still running like crap. I checked the plugs when I got it and they were nice and gray. Checked them again and they were black. Changed them.

Truck wil fire right up but after warming up it will stall out. I don't think the choke is fully releasing resulting in stalling and fouling the plugs.

My dodge service manual shows power going to the manifold choke thing. My truck has the hole but no wire.

Should the choke have power going to it??

I don't want to change anything from stock yet but was thinking about making the choke manual. Like I said, I don't want to but I want to be able to drive this truck some day.....

I am looking through the -34 and there isn't much for adjusting the carb. Lots on rebuilding and preliminary setup but nothing on adjusting on the truck.

Where is the -20 manual? I can't seem to find it in the resource section.

Thanks!!

I could have used this beast yesterday when I got the CUCV stuck and then the deuce stuck.....

Little more info: I filled it up with fresh gas and some fuel stabilizer. Still ahd about 10 gallons of 10 year old gas in there.

Here is the -20 section on fuel system. If you have 10 year old gas you need to clean and flush tank, lines, pump, filters and carburetor. Wayne

I took all the lines out yesterday. Raining out now but have new steel and rubber lines to install soon. Have to get the crappy gas out and put it in the deuce. The deuce will burn just about anything.

Thanks for the page. Any idea on why the -20 isn't in the resource section?

Few of the manuals for the M880 are on Logsa, just 2 IIRC. There are plenty of ellectronic versions out there but all I've found were copyrighted by the group scanning them and that prohibits them from being listed. I have at least one paper copy of the -20 I may be able to sacrifive for a scan but I need to check. BTW I got a NOS carb off ebay. Pretty sure it was a member here. Less than $100.

Can someone look at their choke plate on the manifold and see fi it has a wire going to it? Mine does not.....
