Beautiful. Looking great.

I wish I was. That is a snazzy M170.

I used an Optima in my '72 CJ5 for years. I picked it up because I also ran a 9,000lb electric winch on the rig as well. There were many a time on a steep trail where the engine flooded and stalled, a ...

Update. Rotor not the culprit.

Distributor cap was toast. Lots o' carbon on that thing. Can't believe I missed it.

New cap. First crank and "viola!" fired right up.

Now there is screaming com ...

Welcome home Ryan. Glad you made it back. THANK YOU FOR SERVING.

Think I found the culprit.

Went back into the distributor to check the rotor. Wouldn't you know it was in two pieces, with a chunk of Bakelite from the flat side reinforcing the spring steel broke ...

Bummer.

Just dropped a fresh set of Auto-Lite 2243s into the engine and zippo. Same problem. I get fire on one cylinder when I crank and nothing anywhere else.

If I close the choke, I get no fir ...

DJ,

Thanks for the offer. I ordered some fresh 24v plugs today.

OK. Here's where I am.

Pulled the Solex carb off the manifold. There is a puddle of fuel sitting in the bottom of the manifold, right underneath where the carburetor was. Fuel bowl was plenty full ...

M38 was running great last weekend and I have about 40 hours on the engine since rebuild.

This week, I started it up, it ran rough and felt like it was firing on one cylinder. It finally stalled ou ...

Fellers - thanks for all the help.

Found the inverted flare tee fitting at Fed Hill as well as the right nuts, etc. Had the fittings for the 3/16" vacuum line from the distributor left over from te ...

Glad things are OK Ryan. Good luck on the rest of your tour and come back safe!

So the wiper tee is 1/4" on two ends (to fuel/vacuum pump and wipers) and 3/16" on the end going to the distributor with copper tubing?

1/4" OD or 3/16" OD?

I think I did it wrong...
