engine shot
Got my truck out of storage and after taking care of mouse problem down carb, got it running pretty good. The only thing I noticed was it surged 200-300rpm and then would drop back to a steady 900RPM. Went to start it today and I could hardly keep it going. Had to keep it at 1500 RPM or it would stall. Ran real rough like it was firing on 5 or 6 cylinders. Might be broken valve springs, bad valves,jumped timing chain, fuel problem I don't know and here's the clincher. I've got a herinated disc in my back and I can't bend over anymore to work on the engine. Can't even pull my plugs. The engine would backfire from both carb and exhaust at a high idel of 1500RPM. I know there nothing down intake from the ground up mouse and the carb looked pretty good after cleaning it. It ran good yesterday, but not today. Any Ideas?Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!
