  1. Checked the post after looking for a pump. This is not a datsun. Thanks. Was going to keep looking for the pump. Hopfully somthing is open tomorrow. Flush tank. Think im running rich. But to cause this would be smelly rich.
  2. 1. Its a new cap. Does not mean its build for an old truck 2. Yes . from a very busy station. 3. Should i hear it prime when i turn the key? Last truck , datsun 720. That was the first sound i looked for when turning the key to on. 4. This was my thought. Also the one thing i didnt want to deal with. Luckily there is an old vw bus in the campground. They always have any tool i need. Thanks
  3. First trip. Did ok in 30 miles of stop and go. Hit 55 for 10 min and started sputtering and coughing some backfire. Pulled over shut down a few min and good for another few miles. 3 miles at a time for 100 miles. Long day. Any ideas? No over heating. Fuel filter looks ok. Not great. Its new. Thanks. At least we got stuck at a nice camp. Bahia honda in the keys. Thanks. Happy hollidays
  4. Trucks about 35% ready for a trip. Good enough for us. Hoping we can find an amazing mechanic that knows the truck to look at it. My guy is good.when he shows up. 25 yo and i dont think he can drive stick. Luckly his uncle knows what a carb is. I read a post from a 4x4 college kid in this site about a guy that put his hands on the engine and said good. Looking for that person. The one that knows better then factory. The one that says" throw this ball of lint in". And it works. Im looking for a 20r god. A michanic that knows this truck unlike any other. Any ideas? Thanks.
  5. out side of the battery. Something was here. Missing 2 things from driver side as well. 2nd ? Running a 6 wire altinator. Not a 5 wire as called for. Whats the difference and can i make this new 6 wire work for me? The fun of other people's projects. Thanks
  6. Thanks Derek up north. I have been trying to find those. Looks like i have a mark 8.
  7. Before a long description of our mess. Hi. We are Kristina and alex, from Miami Beach. After years of motorcycle tent travels. We decided on somthing more complicated and expensive. With walls. The wife is afraid of bears, wolves and rednecks. After looking for a automatc Mirage with cab a.c. and 4wheel drive. We ended up with a 1980 r20 RBR mini cruiser. 4speed. No a.c.. 17k miles or 117k miles. Thats about all i know. Not alot of info out there on them. Its in usable condition. Cab is 70% bondo and aluminum sheets. A fair bit of "fixed"water damage. Still leeking in the cab over. Fairly sure it has the bad axle. Converted to full time shore power. Stove and fridge replaced with 120v mini fridge. No furnace or hot water tank. If it had one. Window ac in rear window spot. Front window replaced with more aluminum. 2016 tires. (3 hold air)but dont know the class. Guessing the cheapest ones. In craigslist terms its "like new" What weve done. Got the breaks to work. Replaced all steering bits. Took out thermostat. It was running hot on highways. Got the 12v system half functional. Its not charging yet. Some one had grounded it to the gas tank. Under the hood on the driver side im missing somthing square. Guessing the battery isolater. And somthing round next to that. Today is new altinator day. Its puting out 11.7 to 12v . Then i will play with the charging. What id like to know. Do i have an aluminum frame or wood. How can i check the condition of the roof with out falling threw. Can i reinforce the roof. Whats behind my walls. If i start pealing them back. What is the outer shell made of? Where can i find a wireing diagram or any more information on rbr. There seems to be some debate on the axle on the small rvs. But id like to stick a motorcycle on the back. Will the axle from the old toyota box trucks fit? Thank.
