Ford F100 attempted start up

[bjbuschman2]

some good fresh gas would not hurt

[bjbuschman2]

@Eluthingol07 it ain't jumped time idiot

[kp7100]

i just bought one. it has two gas tanks but only the AUX works, the guy told me the fuel valve next to driver seat is messed up, how do i fix?

[haloguru2552]

@kp7100 I honestly couldn't tell you man...never fixed one of those before, I'd have to see it.

[jungledrum123]

It wanted to start so it aint timing/fire

Could be lots of things but i would start with putting gas in it!

[CyrusDawes]

You should spend more time learning how to fix it then trying to start it.

[cosworth89]

very simple. Rebuild the carb and get new plugs and cap :)

[jasonman1515]

sounds like its not getting any gas at all.

[BriarRoseAurora]

You might as well just burn the piece of shit.

[NathansBackwoods]

@BriarRoseAurora, You have know idea what your saying, so just dont say anything. New plugs and cleaning/rebuilding the carb it will run another 300k.

[BriarRoseAurora]

@NathansBackwoods

hahaha, you're funny. backwoods trailer trash

[NathansBackwoods]

@BriarRoseAurora, Is that all you have? So you really dont know anything. Also, i dont even live in the backwoods, yet. Most people dont find where i live trailer trash....Oh wait i dont live in a trailer.

[bjbuschman2]

@NathansBackwoods not neccerelerly

[NathansBackwoods]

@bjbuschman2, other things can happen, but common maintenance keeps things going

[jon49der]

Dag on that old truck did not want to crank. Almost like it has jumped timing.

[haloguru2552]

Excuse me, what?

[jeditigg]

I think he trying to sell you a 1970 Ford... :) who knows, my spanish is rusty.

[wheelieguy]

By the way, unless the grill has been changed, this isn't a 72. The 72 had a grill that had a was suspended and supported by a single strip in the middle and was open in between. This grill is a 71 model.

[haloguru2552]

See, I was wondering if it was a 71, 72, or 73 model. It's a junkyard truck put together from many others. Nothing matches. But the interior matches a '72 model, so that's what I go by. Thanks though.

[Paiste18]

@wheelieguy It's a 1970 grill folks.

[zmamedotcom]

Change spark plugs (probably fowled) and dump some ATF down carb for compression and she will fire right up

[haloguru2552]

lol, transmission fluid down the carburetor. You make me laugh. Actually the problem was just the carburetor was completely fucked.

[zmamedotcom]

works for low compression lol

[kramnahillac]

@haloguru2552 actually yea, pur a little transmission fluid down its throat and itll hold good compression, ive worked on old fords for years, does the trick.

[79fordblake]

@haloguru2552, he is actually telling the truth. If you crank and crank and crank on the engine and flood it out you wash the oil off the cylinder walls=rings don't seal as good, less compression. Poor some atf down carb=rings seal good again, more compression.

[bjbuschman2]

@zmamedotcom Im glad you don't work on my truck.........atf in the carb..........stupid

[zmamedotcom]

@bjbuschman2 if you have no compression whats it going to hurt idiot.. just goes in the intake to your cylinders not going to hurt your carb.

[parttimetrashman]

only dumbasses drive fords try either retard

[haloguru2552]

It's a 1972 carubureted engine. The truck has 300K miles.

What a dumbass.

[parttimetrashman]

typical fords not reliable

[haloguru2552]

The truck sat for 5 years, dumbass.

[wheelieguy]

I am not knocking Fords here, but my 68 Chevy Caprice sat for 16 years. Dragged it down to the garage, slapped a battery in her, found the ground wired from firewall to engine block was off after about 5 minutes of cranking and it fired right up. When it warms up and dries up from all the rain we've got, I am gonna try to start the 69 LTD coupe that has been sitting for about 10 years to see what it will do. I am not as optimistic for the same results of my Chevy after seeing your Ford video.

[parttimetrashman]

nice ending ford boy

[matt93cobra]

ford junk!!!!!!!!!!!!

[haloguru2552]

'preciate it asswipe.

[65f100352]

I agree with 2ndOfficerCHL. My Ford sounds exactly the same way. Advance it up about 1/4" and try it again. nice truck!!

[NJFordPops08005]

awesome video. the birds seemed happy to hear it crank, too :)

[fontheking5]

Love cars that won`t start

[fordf100v8]

i have the same truck and when i let mine sit up for a while i have to put a little gas in the carburator and it fire right up. if that don'twork try to check your fuel pump or filter cause it sound like it ain't no gas going to it

[driverjackboy]

when it starts to try and go you gotta tigle the throttle not too much and not too little lol i had loads of practice on my 1981 mini hl lol

[vccranker]

Very nice.. thank you for sharing.. i like the video a lot! Makes me wish I still had my Dart!!

[2ndOfficerCHL]

Timing issues. The starter spinning in a funny way like that often means timing problems.

Is it a 302?

[Himom2032]

Check the timing, sounds like its off.

[Sebastiangirl27]

that poor thing, it sounds like it's crying. Let it rest before trying agian

[fuseli]

PLEASE do an interior shot view of you trying to start it... especially in workboots. Besides, it would be helpful to see your method
