No, no, Your problem is that crappy stock carb you are running on there, upgrade to a Weber 32/36. When I first got my truck it ran way rich and would fire on only 3 cylinders, after I replaced it it ran better but still missed, come to find out one of my spark plug wires was "Broken" somewhere, and once I replaced it, it hauled a$$, but it doesn't run now (That's a different story)
An air vale just shoots air/fuel right at the spark plug so it can burn the fuel more "efficiently"
Or, you have a bad hydraulic valve lash adjuster, or a rod cap is coming off of one of your connecting rods. (like mine did)
This is what it should look like, just not as messy.
I'll recheck everything after work tomorrow. When I noticed the broken tab on the rocker arm I figured I found an obvious problem and stopped looking further. Also stopped running the truck out of fear of damage with an alleged non functioning intake valve. At least I know I can take it to work on Thursday and avoid having to have my wife drop me off, bit too late to reassemble for tomorrows commute.
Well, now I feel like an idiot, which I guess is the first step in the learning process. Last time I had a rig with a carb was around 1991, so time to start educating myself again.

This is actually my first rig. I got 2 Webers, one I got free, with the adaper plates, and is missing a few parts and the other I picked up for $20 at the scrapyard (I'm a usual there lol). Yes a Weber will seem like magic, I heard on a Toyota 22r (Which I am running now, in my Toyota), it will "wake up" the sleeping beast inside the engine. (It should the damned 22r falls flat on its face when the secondary kicks in)
hey OP welcome to the forums im also new too, this weekend i will be checking mine too just incase since mine came from someone else and is acting up too....the good thing is that the local yunk yard has about "15" mighty max and D/50's so as far as parts im GOOD!!!!

Is there a good first gen D50 drivers door there??? Fordbushi is looking for one. He needs one sent to him. Take a look and and grab one for him. He should have no problems sending you the cash. He is in Canada somewhere. You could make his X-Mas for him. He is in no rush to get it but he is looking to secure one. Send him a PM.

Ya, Med, you could probably make a decent living chopping up those 15 trucks and shipping them to members here.
I don't have a great choice of junkyards around here, most places just crush for the quick buck.
On my XMas wishlist would be an exhaust manifold complete with flange and the downpipe cut past the first mounting bracket. I'll have to google your location and see if a trip up that way from SC is worth the effort.
Welcome to the Boards!

You might think that you would do well selling those parts, but most of the people don't have the money to buy them. Better to have people ask if there is one, then get the money, and pick up the part.

I think I may have found the mecca that Med speaks of, Google Map: 36.056568,-80.205056
Its about 200 miles from my house up I 85, if I get a good scouting report it might be worth finding a new battery for the cordless sawzall and taking a road trip.

LOL yeah I NEED a drivers door bad, the scrap yards around here crush anything older then 1986 and I haven't seen anything but second gen's for the last few years.
I have no problem sending some money anyone's way for the door. then shipping it COD or FOB to my place.
yeah im down anyone let me know ill go to the junk yard this weekend and take pics and post them i know i saw several ones so ill be posting soon.
Guys here is the junk yard web site.
http://www.upullit109.com/
Thats the yard I was looking at with Google Satellite view :D
Looks like their website has the same useless parts finder that our local junk yard has, everything results in a contact form.
Here is a price list from Pull A Part, there is one in Winston Salem (and Atlanta closer to me), just so you have an idea what going price is. From the comments on their Google results seems they jack the prices a bit.

If you can locate an exhaust manifold in good shape for a G63B engine see what they would want for it plus the flange and if possible a foot or so of pipe below the flange. Mine was hacked up by the previous owner pretty bad when he attempted to weld another pipe to it.
I haven't checked locally yet, waiting for payday plus a day off to scrounge.

log out then clear your cash / history then log in again....
