Hi
I have recently bought a 74 3500, TUC 272M apparently a genuine 46000 miles, White been in storage for years, got it started but runs lumpy and sounds like misfire, oil change new plugs made a small difference, it's does idle without wanting to cut out and starts relatively easy, not smokey like it's burning oil but certainly not running correctly
I've took the carbs off and I've given them a good clean, I've taken rocker covers off and looks very black and still some very stogey black oil about
Is it worth taking heads off and getting cleaned, setting tapperts, it sounded a bit tappety but not had it up to temperature to get fresh oil round it all
Would I be better doing all that putting it back together see how it runs or diving into see if camshaft is ok now before I go much further?
