More jeeps to get out on the road! It's so comforting they are going to a team with the passion and desire to fix them!

I hope to hang out with you guys someday! Way more fun doing this with friends!

Patrick Tipton I have the kit coming in from Midwest Military. I'll message you when it arrives. Give me a couple days to get out to my storage unit and get the pump off the engine block. It is in need of a full psychiatric workup!

Patrick, I have an M38A1 Fuel Pump I'll send you to rebuild!

Do you need a rebuild kit for it or should I buy one and send it along?

As the new owner of an A1, and I'm not new to M-Series... welcome to the dark side! We have cookies and dual action fuel pumps!

Favorite part of the video was when you had it running, then it quit, and within thirty seconds of the hood coming down... back up it went! Such is the story with these old things, isn't it? LOL

I revisited this video after purchasing my manganese parkarizing compound stuff. I didn't find any parkerizing solution for carbs specifically, so I'm going to just use this stuff that is typically used for guns. I'm assuming that's what you did. Two more questions if I may.

1.) When you say that you can polish the parkerizing off the machined surfaces, does that mean I can just use my wire brush wheel on my drill and knock it off or is there a specialized tool I need to polish?

2.) I'm worried that the parkerizing is going to jam up the interior orifices of the carb. Have you tested this particular carb stuff on your engines after the parkerizing to confirm that it's working okay?

You have now inspired me to deliberately shoot my M1 while standing in very close proximity to my jeep. Those little dinks in my paint job and metal I can then safely say came from the ejected enbloc of a Garand! Another great video!

Patrick Tipton we are all fossils when it comes to this stuff lol but look at it this way... we won't care if an EMP hits!!

Our 1943 GPW jeep never ever truly ran right. You know what I mean. It was fun, and it would move, but it all just felt like "meh" in the performance. It didn't make sense that all the accounts of the jeep handling like a sports car and being really zippy and...barking the tires in second gear... our jeep never did that. It always idled like crap, and the problem got worse and worse.

Last year we took the head off and started to investigate. We never replaced the valve guides, and every one of them was worn out. Some of the exhaust guides had holes worn right through the sides. We replaced those, and we cut our own valve seats. More importantly, I had found a Sun Tuneup Tester from a flea market for 20 bucks, and it came with all the papers and even had some standards sheets for all the makes and models of 1950s cars!! We then set the dwell properly on the distributor.

Our jeep will let you shift into top gear now, going UPHILL. It's a rocket. Gobs of power. Great video!!!

This makes me unbelievably happy. Thank you for leaving nothing out, and that usually it's the simplest things that cause the hiccups. So many memories I have of me and my dad getting engines to pop off for the first time...

These vehicles aren't complex, once everything is set up within reason, they'll run all day. Try that with a Cybertruck...

Hey! Looks amazing!! I need to do this to my G503 carb bottom. It's going to need a full rebuild, and I'm wondering...did you take out those brass plugs and replace them BEFORE you put it in the parkerizing solution? Or did you leave the originals in place and replace them after parkerizing?
