So I'm not greatest with carbs and after I rebuilt and got it running I can't get any response from gas petal when it pressed down. I think something wrong with accelerator circuit but I'm not sure what. Any thoughts?
Thanks for input on the tires. I may have found a different way with the tires. The LAV has a similar size tire to 11.00 16 so I going to go to my old unit and see if I snag 5 from them
So today I was able to get some work done today. I got the carb rebuilt and new plugs put in. I also had to clean out the fuel lines cause I wasn't getting fuel into the carb. I found junk in the lines and in the fuel tank has a ton of sediment in it. And the last owner made a make shift fuel...
Thanks guys.
So here's a question. I've doing some research and see the stock tire size for these were 9.00 x 16 but mine has 11.00 x 16. I like the way the 11.00 x 16 look but I can't seem to find them. Anyone have any sources I can check out?

Thanks both highway and cobra for the advice. I'm going through the plugs and points today. And go through the fuel system. Also I'll register my truck too.
I was planning on doing a oil change once I got it running. But I didn't know that the rubber diaphragm didn't like ethanol. Good advice...
So trying to get my M37 started for the 1st time in over 2 years or so they say. So I drained the bad fuel and replaced the fuel filter and put new batteries in it. And I tried to start it and it will turn over and try to start. After a little bit it start and run then dies out. I'm not sure why...
