This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Hey guys,

    I did some work to a 1954 GMC truck awhile back. After i worked on it, it sat at the owners house for close to 3 years, with being started but a few time.

    I have recenlty replaced the fuel pump, it had crud in it and smelled of old gas. Got it running well, and then it sat for another 6 months. Now it is running like doo-doo again, and the carb I rebuilt is full of grey goo.

    It has a fuel filter before the fuel pump, and another before the carb. Where is the grey goo coming from? Is it because I didn't get the carb clean enough before I rebuilt it a few years back?

    Does anyone know where to get one of these? Or, a place that can hot tank rebuild?

    Methinks the gas is old and contaminated, the filters are clogged and the carb is fine. Can you provide a substitute fuel supply and bypass all the conatminated stuff to test the carb?

    66electrafied Just tossing in my nickel's worth

    Modern gas doesn't age well; I would have to agree with the post above, it sounds like crappy gas and decomposing diaphrams.

    I'm assuming it's an old W-1 on a 235 6cylinder motor. This application pretty much interchanges with the Rochester GC that was also available starting in 1950. If you give up on the Carter, try the GC; should almost bolt right up.

    Those old Carters ran forever, and would seldom wear out. However, they would weld themselves to the bakelite spacer plates used on those 6 cyl manifolds and either warp or crack them. They also ate throttleshaft bushings, - another vacuum leak source. That might be the next step, - start looking for a vacuum leak.

    I actually found a NOS carb for it on another forum. The person I bought it from is also a member on V8 Buick! I had to use some copper tube for the thermo choke to function.... but it seems to work well.
