Hi Avenger3. I have the Solex M34PBIC carburetor in my 1961 M38A1. I had some time of struggle to start her when she was new to me a couple of years ago. After a while I learned for first cold start to use full choke, NO throttle at all, and then crank until she starts.

The former owner had ...

Thank you all for your advise. I will do a thorough investigation and replace the parts on the fuel line that looks suspicious.

First: Thanks to your comments, they start me thinking.
Second: Below are my comments to your answers.

Xamon: I had the carburrator referbished last year, with new gaskets and nozzles. There is no difference after the referbishment.

4x4M38: You are correct there, the only factory part is the ...

Hi guys, Sweden calling.
My 1961 M38A1, which have done service in Saudi Arabia once upon a time, have had problems with the fuel distribution since I got it in my possesion 6 years ago.
When it have been sitting for more then 24 hours it have great difficulties to get fuel up to the carburrator ...

He is one of my A1-pals here in Sweden. If I remember correct his jeep originate from the Danish army and he has made great efforts for this snorkling ride.

The lake is actually an artificially made pond to be a reserve for the nereby electric power plant, so he knows about the depth.

Never the ...

Wes, I really don’t know. The tank comes from one of the “Saudi-jeeps” manufactured 1964, according to the serial number.

Hey guys.
Thanks so much for all nice information I got from a simple fuel tank. This forum is fabulous.

I wish you all the best in 2021.

It is still the same tank that we talked about some days ago. I am very pleased that you have found information about the manufacturer.
This tank was obviously manufactured in Oct 1964 withh the text on it as below.

Hi again guys
I am still on with the the text on the fuel tank and my friend found the attached printed emblem on the tank. I suppose this is the emblem of the manufacturer and my interpretation is AOL Co. Does anyone have the knowledge what company this is.

Thanks Wes, I get new and important information every time I start a thread on this forum, which I appreciate very much, even if I read “between the lines” sometimes. It is not my intention to start anything inappropriate with my questions, only to gain more wisdom.

Ron my friend.
No offence from my side, I completely agree with you in your opinion and your answer.

Hi guys.
Thank you for your engagement in trying to solve my question about the text on the fuel tank.
In no way it was my meaning to start a quarrel about AMC, it was my thought about the meaning and my lack of wisdom, My apologises for this.

I wish you all a happier 2021........

A very good remark Ron, maybe you are correct on this.
BUT, this contract was not for the US Army but for export to Saudi Arabia. Couldn't it be correct then to have the acronym of a sub-supplier marked on this item?

Thanks Wes.
Erik informed me that he got information from you regarding his serial number and year of manufacture, but not regarding the text on the fuel tank.

My intention is to contact Saudi Embassy here in Sweden in the spring time, to see if we can get more info regarding these jeeps in service ...

Hi guys
One of my friends with a M38A1 with the same origin from Saudi Arabia as mine, took out the fuel tank a couple of days ago. He found the following text in yellow colour on the underside of the fuel tank:

TANK
1 EA. A - 10/64
DA - 20 - 113 - AMC - 03275 - T

Is there any ...
