  1. ive been having some issues with my truck stumbling as well. carb just got rebuilt about a month ago. starts right up but when cruising it will just stumble a bit. it doesnt happen all the time. every now and then.
  2. have a 72 521 just recently been having trouble with my throttle cable. the cable is frayed pretty bad. but the overall issue is that its not staying connected to the actual gas pedal and its also coming off on the rocker lever connected to the spring. any suggestions? other cables from other years work? or where i might be able to pick one up. checked a few local shops and they did not have them for order. and this is the top of the gas pedal. there is tons of play between these two spots.

    battery not charging

    yea tried the voltage meter. reads around twelve usually. even when the truck is running and you unplug the the positive it should stay on. mine dies instantly.and i havent noticed anything fried. except a fuse. replaced it and same thing. it all looks like everything should go where it should. even took pictures before so i knew where and how to hook it up. the connections all seem proper. dad is saying it could be a relay. but i have no real way of actually checking each wire for voltage. or possably a bad ground???

    battery not charging

    alright. i had issues with my truck starting. somewhat narrowed it down to my starter going so i bought a new one. the day after my battery wouldnt hold a charge. so i bought a new alternator as well. and battery still isnt holding a charge. (battery is only a few months old) replaced a ground wire to the alternator and made sure everything was hooked up right x5 over. cant figure out this issue as to why my battery isnt getting charged. all the wires seem in decent shape. replaced the only frayed wire we saw. any suggestions?

    noob 1972 521!

    put more oil in. and maybe semi gloss. straight gloss could be a bit much.
