Mine did the same thing. Hadn't been used much in years. Driving it and continuing to pump grease in eventually cured the problem.
Comes out near oil pump, as others have said. And yes, there is a fitting from 1/8 pipe to flare, to match the flare on the hose. If you're just...
Thanks for the answer on the disc material. I happen to be assembling the D44 for my 3A, and was wondering about that. Keeping the thread on the...
Don't mean to hijack the thread, are the discs supposed to be steel or steel with friction material?
If the grease fitting is 1/8 pipe, screw the hose from your grease gun into it directly....
I recently swapped my 31x10.50 radials for a set of 7.00x15 bias ply Denmans with an aggressive tread from another Jeep project onto my 65, and...
I've been following this thread, and finally have to comment. I think you need to take this engine entirely down and verify every measurement...
I'd stick with what you have. A re power will be lots more work and major money. As of right now, having done the same thing, you will probably...
My personal opinion is that the relatively low spring and seat pressures are what let older industrial type engines like ours survive.
Probably not what you want to hear, but spend $80 for a universal bearing seal driver set. You'll find it indispensable for everything. I used...
I run ethanol free premium and lead additive. The previous owner of 25 years ran additive, too. Not really the pain I thought it would be. For...
If you have your original pump, rebuild and reinstall it.
I wouldn't be scared to media blast it in a small cabinet. I would do it after dipping it and roughly reassembling it, though. Ball up some...
Forgot about that. Since the accelerator pump relies on vacuum to pull the diaphragm back, there is a port to the throttle body, and if there is...
Needle and seat. Scout pilot or the Carburetor Shop. I went thru two carb kits with the rubber tip, and went so far as to machine an orifice for...
BTW, does yours seem to leak more when it is sitting or running?
I went thru the same thing this winter. Purchase the kit with the spring loaded brass needle and proper seat and don't look back. Not cheap at...
Looks very nice!
FYI, I hade a 48" hydraulic line made with 1/8 pipe at both ends and installed a high pressure 90 to clear the fuel pump, so all is well now.
Very nice '55!
