. put it all back together and the truck wont even start it does sound like it is trying but i dont no whats the matter with it onder2:

I'd be willing to bet that your settings are way off. The reason being that you were trying to tune it and couldn't get it. Reset back to factory settings and go from there.

I would also seal around the base of the carb before going farther.

You really do need to clean that engine off, both inside and out. It looks like you're getting some gumming on the inside, that or it's rust. Starting to look a little rough in there.

As for the outside, all that grease and dirt you're allowing to cake up will start acting like an insulating jacket. Your temps will start running higher because the engine cannot dissipate the heat.

As to your problem, VB hit it on the head. Seal the carb and backplate (and clean it, since you have it out), set the needles to factory and go from there. You tune the HSN first, then dial the LSN in, if needed.

Just wanted to point this out. If you shut off the engine by plugging the stinger of the exhaust you force fuel in the crank case. You don''t want to leave fuel in the crank case as it can "gum" up your internals and be a PITA to start. Always leave your engine empty as well as your tank and lines clear of fuel.
