  • Santa Clause and the Punkin

    I woke up and looked outside this morning and there was an Orange Studebaker truck in my yard! I thought THANK YOU SANTA!!! Then I remembered. All my kids and grandkids were here yestreday{Thank you Santa} Matthew had driven his truck from town out to the farm and had some problems getting here. It seemed to be starving for fuel. MB caught a ride back to town, got a new fuel pump from the shop,came back and installed it. No improvment. He cleaned the fuel line. No better. By this time it was dark so he took my Dually and went home. I went out awhile ago and checked it out. I think he has a stopped up oil bath breather. It seems to run fine without a breather but when I put it back on it won't run 30 mph. NT

        Dirt right at the carb inlet ? Maybe not thru to hang up the needle and seat, but enough to starve the carb ?

                Neil,

                Time to get the boy out of the cheap economy Scotsman and step him up to a long bed Champ with O/D and an AM radio.

                        We got back from my sister's house not long ago. I just got back from driving the '59 about 15 miles around town, and it seems to be doing just fine with the breather back on it. Thanks Papa! [8D]
                        I'll be driving it back out there shorty for supper, see ya then!

                        Yes Gary, he's been wanting a Champ truck for a while now.

                        I DO have overdrive at least in the Punkin. [8D]
