OK gentleman,
I have a 1950 AC WD that I bought from my great uncle. It has sat for 7-10 years and u am trying to bring it back to life to plow snow this winter. It has a few slow leaks and needs new gaskets, but the major tear down will be next summer. Right now I am just trying to get it ready to plow snow.
So far I have replaced/fixed
-fuel lines
-coil
-spark plugs and wires
-cleaned fuel tank and sealed it
-oil pressure and heat Guage
-starter
-freed up the hydraulic lever as it was rusted from sitting.
It seems to idle choppy and not run very good. I am looking on some insight as to what it could be. Could it be in the carb? Does it sound like the points are shot and those need to be replaced? Any help is appreciated
(Note: the exhaust manifold has a pretty good leak in it. Could that be the cause of this?)
Thank you,
Austin
