Eagle_Adam Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Unfortunately the Volvo made it, at damn near 11 on the dot! Suffering from a bad case of the "it ran when Parked it blues" So I'm assuming the gas it bad and filters never been changed ;) Guess we will see 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Well..... Bad gas 90% clogged filter And the rubber hose seen in the pic is cracked and leaking of course the pic if of a dealership only replacement ;) That little hose is the most odd ball ID size.... Wasn't able to find it anywhere in town(on a Sunday) calling the dealership on Monday I don't have one to waist And I'm pretty sure one of the fuel pump relays is toast too... 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yup, counts as broken.... $50 replacement -.- Fuel was filter 80-100% plugged M Oooohhhhhh aaaahhhhhh! Shiny Gas Tank full of varnish..... Tank drained and treated And of course it could use all the regular suspects plugs/wires/fluids but those will have to wait till the trucks done ;) 2 Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Carb tinkering Wiring clean up That's better! And..... Carb linkage fixed and carb reinstalled, new throttle cable in and adjusted, air cleaner on, engine bay is wired, fans in, radiator is in and painted, new heater core hoses and grommets installed, new radiator hoses trimmed to fit and installed, new rad cap and thermostat are in! Many thanx to Jessi for wrapping up some of the loose ends while if fought with the carb! Just a few more things and this bad boy will be ready for a test fire/drive Unfortunately soon as I went for the 1st test fire since the truck broke down I realized the battery was dead..... Grrrrr So on the charger it went and off I went to find more stuff to finish on the never ending to do list 2 Quote Link to comment
