  1. Is there a way to edit the title so it says [FIXED] or something like that?
  2. FIXED IT!!! I'm glad I waited to fire it up again after getting that piece out because when I went back I saw a little gasket from the small venturi sitting there on the butterfly that had the piece of metal jammed in it. So after FINALLY getting that little bastard out, I noticed on the primary venturi that there was a similar looking piece of metal that's acting like a shim on the backside to keep it in place. In the pic, it's the little piece sticking out that I'm trying to point to with the screwdriver. So after getting that shit back together and in there properly, the truck runs better than it has in a loooong time. So obviously this was an ongoing problem that I had been missing. No more dieseling when I shut it off, steady idle once I got that tuned back in after fucking with it trying to lower it when it was crazy high, smooth acceleration. SUCH a relief. So thanks for the help guys, problem solved!
  3. That's a good point. I probably did that somehow jamming my fleshlight in there and didn't realize it. Good catch. Sounds like you guys might have this figured out. I looked around in the air filter after I pulled that piece out but didn't see where it came from. I'll go check it out again here in a minute. Thanks guys.
  4. Alright, so I just got home from work and got back in there. Here's what I pulled out of the carb. Thank god that shit was magnetic. Here's the other side of it Any ideas what that little piece of metal might be? I'm hesitant to go start up the truck and see if it runs in case that piece of metal actually belonged somewhere. While I was pulling that out, I noticed some weird marks on the side of my carb. That rectangle cut out on the side looks like it has been recently damaged a bit. Don't know how that could've happened.
  5. Ok, It was hard to see down in to the carb but it looks like there was something holding it open just a little bit, I don't think it's enough to have it idle so high but I took some oics. Throttle cable looks properly seated and felt like it was returning all the way.
  6. The choke is open all the way when warm And the throttle cable is properly seated on the rotating part of the carb. I'll try and jam my fleshlight down in the carb, but I don't know how much that'll help, mike. I'm gonna go run and make sure somethin didn't get stuck in it right now.
  7. So yesterday morning I get in my truck to go to work. Start's up fine, I throw it in reverse and start backing out. Then when I put the clutch in, it revs to 3500 rpm and stays there. Now it won't idle lower than that. I checked the choke heater and sprayed some carb cleaner while moving the fast idle cam to make sure it didn't somehow get stuck. I tried looking up other threads to see if people have had this issue and what to do about it. Datzenmike mentioned checking the voltage and when the truck is off I get a 12v reading on the choke heater, but when the truck is on I get nothin. I'm not great with electric shit so maybe I'm not doin that part right. When the engine gets to temp (which is pretty freakin fast sitting there idling at 3500) the choke is open. And when I turn it off, it diesels like a mofo for a few seconds. So, if anyone has any suggestions or knows what I can do to fix this, I would really appreciate it. It's a '76. Thanks, guys.
  8. Yea, I'm looking for the Koito's. Someone sent me a pm already. I'm with MikeRL411 here, they were made right from the start, and built to last. Those $8 autozone lights might work but they just don't hold up.
  9. I've got a '76 620 and I had my headlight go out on me. I'm looking to keep the ol' 620 close to factory. Plus those old headlights go forever. Anyone got a headlight or set of headlights they'd be willing to part with?
  10. low beam headlight in good condition and working?
  11. Oh, awesome! I'm totally calling this guy. Thanks.
  12. I'm in west los angeles. A little far from you unfortunately.
  13. Oh nice. I'll start lookin into shells for early s-10's too. Thanks.
  14. I've got a standard cab 620 and I'm looking to get a camper shell for it. Ideally, I want something old school lookin like this or this However, I'm also interested in anything that fits nicely, is secure and I guess being near Los Angeles would be a pretty big plus. Or if someone can point me in the direction of a place that might sell some camper shells for a reasonable price (couple hundred or less depending on the condition of course) I would really appreciate it. I'm keeping an eye on craigslist and e-bay, but nothing has really caught my interest so far. Thanks
