Check your air fuel mixture screw

[@kjmm9381]

It’s a gravity fed carb so the air plays a big factor

[@treyworth8842]

Shift out of low gear for more speed

[@fire48pw]

Guys do you read my comments I am trying to help you out yes I am a old timer I know that truck inside out I will buy a shirt but only if you answer me back or contact me ok guys

[@fernandopacci]

Put a return on the carburetor, no return will always give excess gasoline to the engine because the float of the carburetor cannot take the pressure, it will be very good

[@josephg41]

Please keep this old straight 6 in this truck. It's been with it for 70 years, don't change it now! A new engine might have more power, but this engine has more character! Leave the engine swaps for the modern trucks and keep this one stock.

[@freebird1ification]

or swap him to me for my mazda extended cab

[@brucewilson3466]

Keep the straight 6....orginally is what you want

[@weets69]

Agree. Leave Mater original. Ps. Leave the cracked rear glass add character.

old cars are so easy to work on when you take the time and sense to do it, this was great.

So are new cars if you take the time to learn

I disagree flight I have a 99 crown vic and it’s much easier to work on compared to my 06 g35X sedan

[@gureno19]

Just remember to double clutch with that old non synchronised gearbox. 1.Clutch in 2.Shift to neutral 3.Release clutch 4.Clutch in 5.Shift to next gear

[@joebond2099]

Do you know what happens if you don’t do that

[@gureno19]

@@joebond2099 grinds...because the input shaft is not matching the speed of the gear you are trying to select. Which is why you clutch in and clutch out between neutral and gear selection, allowing the input shaft and the gear to synchronise speeds with one another.

[@trebleclefjamestv5091]

all this time I thought it was just double tapping the clutch inbetween shifts lol thanks for the info will try next time im in my 66 f100

[@jamminjr7856]

And when downshifting, clutch in, shift to neutral, clutch out and rev about 800 to 1000 RPM, then off the gas pedal, clutch in and shift to lower gear.

[@davidwilliams9450]

@@trebleclefjamestv5091 What transmission is in that 66 F100? The three on the column should be fully sychronized....The 4 speed on the floor should have a granny 1st gear, but 2nd through 4th should be synchronized.

[@johndriskill3376]

This is so awesome watching you guys work on this old Dodge! I feel what y'all feel. You both have so many feeling involved on this build. I hope to one day take the same journey on my own build. Keep up the great videos. I look forward to each one...

[@erikwilson2857]

Keep up the work guys. Your going to run into issues and that's what makes this stuff fun and what to watch for next time on a barn find. Take notes of it's age, how long it has been sitting, why was it parked, what was wrong with it when it was parked. The list goes on and on. Also something I do that I think that everyone should be before buying a old car or truck at this age, what was that particular make, year, and model pros and cons known for. I love the project and I hope for more. You guys are keeping me busy while I'm at work. So don't stop the updates! 🤙🤙

[@dalejohnson9342]

now you have learned why old people always carried a small piece of wire in the vehicle. You have heard the saying of the old vehicles were held together with bailing wire and tape. Now you see what they were talking about. old fashioned lessons are sometimes the funniest as you look back on them. If you do not have the coil bracket properly tightened you will not have a good ground on the coil. I am glad that you are having some fun learning some of the things that used to cause problems with the old vehicles. Keep learning and smiling.

[@jrsgarage7623]

Awesome to see younger guys fixing up old vehicles. I do the same. I have a 55 chevy 3600, 69 elcamino, 78 vette, 57 d200 on 97 s10 chassis. Plus several others

[@rickwalling1148]

When starting to rebuild or restore old vehicles there is a certain steps to see if the engine will turn over, have spark, and with a carb setting that long needs to be disassembled and through cleaning is a must. Sounds like your into diesels! But your on the right patch now as your realizing the carb needs cleaning. Also your in for a real treat when you finally get it going. Enjoy the adventure

[@jasperdomacena6491]

Oh man! Roadside Carburetor repairs brings back a lot of memories!

[@BrodieBr0]

Mater is bewtiful and it makes me smile to see you giving old iron the love it deserves.

[@roberthickey1465]

Don't forget to put some fuel additive in it, a lead replacement, don't want to destroy those valve seats.

[@janfranken5257]

I had a 57 Dodge truck like this I used to haul grain and didn't use additive in gas dropped valve seat ruined piston made it scrap no parts available.

[@ricardobenavides5599]

11:21 min If you watch the video at the moment it turns on, there are several leaks of electric current in the spark plug and coil cables, it is a possible cause that sometimes it does not turn on

[@freebird1ification]

check it in the dark the darker the better 2 folks to do it it may be grounding itself out

[@justinphillips6136]

Mater is like a woman... makes you mad at the world but you still love her for crazy reasons known only to you. Love seeing mater run again boys. Great job

[@gureno19]

Just a future tip, cleaning jets is easy if you just use a bit of surplus copper electrical wire, which im sure there is in that truck under the dash or engine bay.

[@renedeleon2618]

Молодцы ребята. Удачи вам в ваших начинаниях. Надеюсь увидеть полную реставрацию авто

That truck reminds me of my brothers 69 Plymouth satellite. Every time you get into it something don't work or can't get it going, this doesn't work that doesn't, work when you think it should be perfect..... lets you down again! Your truck would look nice in red paint with black rims.

[@Ed-uk8el]

"Im not really big on words, I'm big on making stuff work." Facts.

[@keithsgarage5831]

Been there in the same situation with old Mopars. Having to figure things out in the middle of nowhere can be stressful. Learning and fixing the fun part, and very rewarding. Breaking down in traffic? Or in the middle of nowhere, is not! LOL. Keep at it. You'll get it all sorted and made reliable. Fuel systems on these old vehicles can be challenging. Heat soak, after parking or vapor lock due to ethanol in today's fuels can be a pain in the azz. An electric fuel pump, and a phenolic spacer at the carb base can be effective.

[@randallfowler8377]

I'm glad to see people like y'all get them older vehicles fix them get them running I like it's just awesome great job guys

YEE YEE! Glad mater is up and running again! 😎 Keep up the great work!

[@barnettimpala]

I love the mater build series. Can't wait to see the upcoming build progress!

[@arrievanrensburg8243]

Maybe the coil overheated and needs a resistor , the piont gap is the dwell, the timing is set on the crankshaft pully after you ajust the dwell by turning the distribator in the block. Adjust the carburator air mixture by conecting a vacum gauge on the inlet side and ajust to highest steady vacum reading.

[@luiscaprara3504]

Ponto de ignição atrasado? O carburador,aparentemente está funcional. Injetando como está, o motor ao menos daria sinais de combustão. De qualquer forma,este caminhão é lindo e eu amo os Flat Head! Meu pai trabalhava com similares aqui no Brasil. Abraços e boa sorte!

Thank you boys for doing this it is great to see a young generation doing something other than playing video games great job!👍👍👍

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

That's how you learn to work on vehicles when they break down in the middle of nowhere I thought it was electrical when it died but that plugged Main Jet was no good either remember you guys you have to double clutch going forward to so you don't grind the gears hope you got brakes for that thing in the mail I'd be hard-pressed to remove that motor it runs good

[@seanyc89]

That rig looks absolutely sick there is no way you should paint it just yet just put the power plant in and let it do its petainer. Nice work fromOZ 🇦🇺

[@wandamorales421]

This is absolutely amazing! Can’t wait for the end result.

[@vesprasp]

that carb is a carter ball and ball, I have the same setup on my 1950 dodge. There are 2 small check balls and they get stuck from gas deposits. make sure you get them out and clean them as good as you can. Thats your biggest issue. There is a retaining ring under the plunger that holds the balls in. note that they are 2 different sizes and need to go back in the same place they came from. When evarything is cleaned up good on that carb it will actually run pretty good. My engine purrs like a kitten and honestly has pretty good power for what it is. Also you want lead substitute in that gas. Those did not run on unleaded fuel back then and the lead protects the valves from damage

[@jebaycock872]

Love it keep up the good work love them old Dodgers

[@rylanleeper4456]

If it’s possible I’d ditch the old carburetor and get a new one.

[@Bigjoelifts15]

Loving mater .the progress is awesome

[@MrMegapianoman2]

If running points and on 12 volts, either the coil needs a built in resistor, or there needs to be a ballast resistor in the power line to the coil. If not the coil can over heat and stop working til it cools off some, and you will burn the points up sooner than if there is a resistor. Sometimes the condenser for the points can short when hot and kill the spark.

[@ParoDoXz]

The coil has a resistor built in

Those Carter carbs are simple but you gotta clean it and keep the fuel clean!

[@shanekelly9974]

Your coil is mounted upside down ,it has oil inside of it to help keep it cool thats why Mater started back up it had time cool off.

[@buddycrawford3189]

You guys should really see if the cable pull on the shifter is a 2 speed rear end or trans. I bet it is and that will give you two ranges of gears.

[@donnatanner359]

use your hand to choke it and it will suck gas though all the cavities. My old truck has one of those carbs they work fine when they are all cleaned up. put a clear inline gas filter on it. they have smaller media than the bowl filter

Subscribed :-) It's really fun watch you fight with that old beast :-) My personal opinion here will be complete rebuild ! Engine out, make chassis, paint and try to find some custom wheels. But I know this will be expensive :-( Make this as show track with custom swimming pool on the back plus big repros ! Like party truck for girls :-)
