HELP anyone???!!!!

do you have coil packs or distributor? if coil packs one or more might be bad almost any parts store can check for free, if distributor have you checked timing

okay now here I will tell you that I am relaying the mechanics troubleshooting. I am not the one working on it, but I used to work on autos many years ago until I became disabled.

Mechanic tells me that there is no OBD for this veichle;
which there should be since 86...

mechanic told me that this is a throw-away carburetor.
the carb is the original carb for that truck type - H-1 model 1945 carb # 4306460
told me it can't be the timing cause it is running..

I know that it can be the timing causing erractic idle,...and bad mixture to carb which might make it seem like the carb..

ready to pull the truck out.. it is my sister's truck and we have owned it since new ...

I think the guy is trying to get my truck to give to his brother for cheap...
we are going over there tomorrow to pull OBD ....

mechanic tells us the truck should be in the graveyard.. and he has spent enough time on it troubleshoooting,...
now this guy has been descent to our family up until now I am doubting his intentions,. his brother is always asking about the truck...
thank you for any help

On a carbureted vehicle having trouble accelerating you should check the accelerator pump. Look down the carb, manually operate the accelerator and see if you get a squirt of fuel for the full range of the stroke. While you are looking at the carburetor, check all vacuum lines connected to the carb as well as those going directly to the intake manifold.

While the accelerator pump sometimes can be fixed separately, depending on the carb, you probably should rebuild or replace the whole thing.
