CHRISTMAS, CARBURETORS, & CHAOS! Hung throttle issue RESOVED!

- I couldn’t live with myself if something happened to my son, and allowing anyone else to work on the carburetor, was out of the question. Here’s how things went here during CHRISTMAS and what’s coming next
Авто/Мото
I'm so glad you talked billy into letting you diagnose the problem because in Billy's video Rob wanted to take it back and Dremel the spacer which could have gotten Billy hurt l'm glad you picked that battle Bill he is lucky to have you.
He did want to dremel it but, rob did say he wanted to look for the rub marks. So maybe they would have figured it out, it just makes you nervous when you got one guy throwing out idea and it’s like let’s put our heads together here and get it figured out.
Yeah I was hoping that if they went that route they would bolt the spacer to the carb with it off the manifold to check the clearance before they went to carving on it. I know the feeling just like I’m sure every son does. Hell I still feel the same way Billy does about his dad with my own. But it doesn’t hurt to at least hear what your dad has to say whether you agree with it or not. I don’t race like Billy does but I’m in a very similar situation having worked for my dad most of my life so I know what it’s like growing up and wanting to do things my own way after butting heads for so long.
I know right..... I was cringing at the thought of someone hogging out a spacer. Put the dremel down and step away from the bench.
A clear red flag went up when the fuel lines got shortened - “cleaned up,” - ultra amateurish move. No secondary thinking; why would these fuel lines be so long?
When the Dremel comment came up, I just cringed at where his mind went. After all the safe success with the S-10, this guy is who Billy has entrusted as new crew? Oh boy.
Yeah, Bill IS ornery as Hell, and it would do him good to seriously wrangle that in, but he’s got a huge heart, a ton of wisdom, and a very sharp, methodic mind when he calms down. The dude massively cares, and he thinks holistically about the race cars, and you can’t farm out that level of attention and reasoning.
He just needs to attend Miss Vicky’s Finishing School.
Billy has a huge heart too, easy to see that he’s trying to help Molly see her potential and doesn’t want to be just another person who writes her off. Sure, at first he was chasing some blond tail, (who didn’t) but now it’s clear he really cares about her getting her self together.
Bill and Billy are very alike. Bill just needs Billy’s help to learn to keep a cool head and pay attention to what comes out of his mouth. Bill needs to support Billy as he works through his life choices, realizing that Billy is just applying the Old Man’s values; “we might not have the best stuff, but we work hard and we don’t give up” - Billy’s just happens to be applying that ethic to his relationship. Honorable man.
It’ll all sort out, I just hope it doesn’t take catastrophic failure of a race car to grow these two back together, respecting and enjoying each other.
I love them both and the new fingers on the cars seriously scare me.
I commented on Billy's video, but I'll repeat it here.... "Remove the wheel locking pin/plate in the steering column. Steering will not lock when key is turned off. Also handy in the shop, you can roll the truck without needing the keys." Good Luck.
If i would’ve been in the old mans shoes I’d probably have smashed that stock column with a dang hammer the second billy mentioned it locking up on him so he didn’t have a choice but put a racing column of a gutted one in it
Stock columns with everything still functional have no business near a race car and neither does stock ignition with everything still on the key switch. I’ve seen stuff happen way to many times that would’ve been disastrous if the vehicle didn’t have a in line master power switch and a panel so everything can be able to be shut off separately
I always enjoy watching you work on carburetors, and cars in general. You're full of knowledge. Keep kicking ass!
Glad to see you back Bill, looks like everyone had a good Christmas, now to wish you a Happy New Year ( LOL ) looking forward to continued good content in 2022. Smile Bill, we in RUclips land Love Ya, God Bless.
Not that it's a bad thing especially when your sons safety is at risk. I knew you would attack that carb problem in exactly that manner. Scary stuff even if he handled it well. Nice work Old Man!
I was honestly surprised he even gave billy a choice on it coming to his house instead of the “new” shop
@@54raceman like the man said...pick your battles...
I appreciate the gravel in the rain trick. You made me smarter!! Thanks old man
You are very blessed with a good wife , they are hard to come by today , hope you all had a great Christmas 🎄 !!
I’m so glad you found that problem. Thank god for our great father’s they are always there when we need them.
Great video Bill, you have the most adorable wife, she is glue that keeps you all together, the kids will always come to you two and bring grand babies one day, I can just see it. Keep doing whatever it takes to stay good with the boys , your boys even though they are not small anymore 🇺🇸
She is absolutely the best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you
@@theoldmansgarage behind every good man, is a better woman. You two complement each other so well.
Another thing I do agree with is safety equipment I didn't do it and its screwed me for the rest of my life. Only takes once and I found out the hard way. So stay on that.
Maybe the story of the great pro stock driver Lee Shepperd would be a good learning lesson. We all thought we were bullet proof when we were young.
Merry xmas to you and your family Bill. Watching Billy's video I about had a heart attack when the throttle hung open. I'm so glad you found the issue with the carb. Cant wait see what the future holds for the entire SRC family. God bless
Your a great father, we struggle letting our children make there own decisions. When us elders know how it's going to turn out. Hopefully we have raised them to do better than we ever have. Love the content, stay safe.
Yep when I had a grading business, rain will sure show the low spots!
I definitely agree with you on the safety gear. Anytime those boys are in their cars testing or racing they need to have all their gear on. There has been so many people hurt or even killed by not having their safety gear on you can never be to cautious when doing this stuff.
I will say I have seen them wearing gloves more often now but it really needs to be every time, I have a feeling the cage in the S10 probably isn't good enough for how fast it's going though
@@538nateI know right ! Scares the shit out of me every time he makes a pass , from what I have seen that truck is not as safe as it could be , then lacking wearing all the safety gear that he should be it only takes seconds if a crash occurs getting knocked out then getting burnt up ! Look what happened to Lyle Barnett
Memory is a tear able thing to waste. Glad that you could get to the bottom of the carb issue with the S10. Stay healthy and safe.
Glad you got it fixed. Hope the boys realize how important you are to them and their racing. Their safety is at the top of the list. Lucky kids to have a knowledgeable and caring Dad in their life. Praying everything gets better for you.
You're son can drive!!!! Gonna be a hell of a year comin!!!!!God bless ya all!!!
Time to be frank. You saved the kid's life. Time for him to get his head out of his a-s and see things as they really are. I was Chief of Safety, Reliability and Assurance Engineering for an aerospace firm. I know risk. I got the stripes to speak on risk. Murphy bites you when you least expect it. Both your kids should be in full fire suits, with gloves and visors DOWN for every pull down the track. They are making their career behind the wheel and strapped in. That risk needs to be mitigated. They are not casual "racers," they are "pros." Time to act like a pro. Just because they've "gotten away with it" for years, does not make it risk free. Tom Bailey's experience with fire should be taken as gospel, and not dismissed. You might not be able to say it to him, but I can. Guess I'm just another angry ol' man... to some.
PS: All the cars need a paddle type kill switch that can be swatted at with a gloved hand to shut her down. Turning a key at those speeds is insane with a locking steering column. ... a locking column in a race car? ...c'mon man! ... then there is the 'chute....
Billy definitely needs to listen to his family.. seen Billy and the one who caused all the drama recently are back together and this is why Billy moved to his own shop.. that girl is going to ruin the relationship of this family if Billy doesn't wisen up and realize you can't turn a stripper into a housewife especially a psychotic one
@@bendaves77 what!? They got back together?
@@chanceehuiet there's a Xmas eve video on her channel of them cruising around in the mustang and him taking video.. I feel terrible for the ol man having to go through this situation
@@bendaves77 Jesus, after everything she said about my family aint no way in hell.
@@chanceehuiet I agree with you... I don't mean to be rude but it's difficult to turn a stripper into a housewife especially when they don't want to change.. not to mention that she's went out of her way to try and ruin the family dynamics
I got to play Santa Claus on the phone with my daughter's 3 step sons. I'm getting attached to them lil fellers. Ezra, Eli and Benjamin.
You got some mail coming this week Bill. I think you'll like it. 😎
That would be extremely hard as a father. Stepping back and your son's safety is no longer in your hands. I think your right. You need to step in and say something when something could go awfully wrong. Those boys need to respect that when you do put in your words of caution. That throttle locking sent chills down my spine. There's not many people going to walk out of a wreck at the back of a track with that mph. That truck needs a proper kill switch. If that truck is going to be faster than last season safety needs to be a top priority.
Good stuff Bill. I have those moments too where I think back and try to remember the time I had something happen in my 20's. And that saying comes into your head" I've forgotten more things than you'll ever know", and then we learn something new. 👍
Great to see you all had a good Christmas together and the story behind the carb issues with the truck! Can't imagine how standing there seeing him battle issues like that on the big end has to feel. Fortunately you've got one sharp young man in that pilot seat who doesn't freak out and knows how to react. Very much looking forward to you all strapping it down at CIA Performance for some dyno tuning, that should be one hell of a day for sure!
Agreed, and thank you guys for helping the SRC team. Wish y'all were in SC!
Very informative...now that you broke it down explaining it ...I truly beleive that we had the same problem goin on in the past ...definitely something that is goin to be filed closer to the front of my noggin from here on ...for sure..thanks for all the info,tech tips,and the good advise you so unselfishly pass along
You guys rock!..happy new year!.& keep em smokin!!!
Merry Christmas Bill and family! Glad you found the problem that could of been a disaster. (Thanks to God for Protecting Billy)
Smiles for miles looked like a awesome day. Happy Holidays and may 2022 be 100% better than 2021. Salute and Thanks.
When I heard the word dyno, my eyes got so big that they almost ripped my eye lids off their hinges! If y'all decide to release dyno numbers, I'll be excited as ever! Can't wait! Have a great week guys! Happy holidays
Amen Brother! Hahaha, dyno time...
i'm guessing the truck makes somewhere around 1400. that test day Billy had said in his vid it was running 5.40s on about 20#. turned up i'm think the truck could run around a 4.90. that would be around a 7.80 quarter and i'm guessing the truck is around 3400# . if you use a hp calculator it would take 1400-1500 to go those times at that weight
Hey Charlie!
liking that back-back yard 👌👌👌
Great work Bill you are the MAN!!!
Merry Christmas 🎁 I'm so glad that you are the one working on Billy's truck! At least you know it would get done right then!! Too many people thinking they know what they are doing working on Billy's stuff! And that should be a family affair! Without you the boys wouldn't know much and most certainly wouldn't be who they are today had you not raised them so well!!!! We love watching your videos and love your family ways, even when your pretending Miss Vicki annoys you lol !!!! We are wishing you all the best in the New Year and hope to see you working on that Nova soon .... would be nice to see you doing things for yourself. You have been so selfless and taking care of the kids for so long. It would be lovely to see you and Miss Vicki load up the Nova in the trailer and the pups and have your own merch line too!!! We would defiantly be supporting you !!! Love you guys 💕
Dyno tune is the safest way, and best way to get all you can.
I've had throttle to stick wide open, all you can do is kill ign. Most people don't ever mash to the floor. It's hard to tell how many older cars would have done the same. I will get you scowering for the problem. This Olds was in the cable mount. It got altered, or fixed the problem.
Hope you and yours have a happy year.
Thanks for the update Bill. That throttle hang issues was scary as hell. I thought the same thing when I watched Billy’s video on jacket/gloves. Couldn’t understand why. The carb issue is why experience will always prevail. Hopefully Billy & Tommy start understanding this. Even though we are old and grumpy there’s a reason we do what we do especially when it comes to our kids!! Happy new year buddy. Can’t wait to see what she does on the dyno!
Thank you, been waiting for another of your videos. Just what I needed Xmas day. Need more of your videos Old Man.
Wouldn't some type of kill switch be easier and faster to turn it off?
So Glad you were able to talk Billy into taking the S10 back to your shop. Now if he would wear his safety equipment.
Absolutely no substitute for experience. Good job Bill.
Glad you had a good Christmas bill . You are so fortunate to have a wonderful wife like Vicky. Glad to see that the carburetor issues are getting worked out👍😉
Hope Xmas was Great for ya'll. Something in your voice on this Video. Finding that problem was great. That's what it is about, you know what's best, that's you on the team. You may not like some of his decisions, but you can help when he needs it, carb problems or life problems. Great job, great Video as always. Keep em coming please!
I've seen a guy drive the entire return road with a hung throttle and brakes just smoking because he did not have the presents of mind to turn the car off! Kudos to Billy and to you for finding the problem, stay safe!
Pretty sure I’d have beat the ole boy for that one lol
There are fools everywhere.
That Brandon juice looks more cracked out than his son. Delt with numerous issues in multiple vehicles this year regarding watered down pump 93 and 100 on the east coast. Great vid Sir.
At least you found something. Nothing worse than having an issue that big and not being able to find an issue.
Bill I am so glad that you insisted on finding the linkage problem ! PLEASE install a KILL SWITCH or take the locking plate out of the steering column !!!!!! Good Job On Resolving This Issue !
Bill how come you don’t have kill switch inside truck besides column key ignition, not sure about truck but I had issue I locked my steering wheel and it didn’t shut off, all my cars now have box kill switch, very scary situation being father!
I once joked about being the OHS guy at work, I said it's fine I have my safety glasses on my head.... I severely lacerated my left eyeball snapping some acrylic sheeting worth using it. Great Vid as always and love to your family, anyone that reads this Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the land of OZ.
Glad you found the gremlin messing with the poor S10 good stuff Bill.
There no worse of feeling than feeling like you harmed your kids or your kids being hurt and you can't help them. Makes a man feel helpless and weak. Terrible feeling that takes a while to passover. That pass bout made me sick on this side of the screen. Damn!
Miss Vicki must not sleep at all with all the things she gets done!! Nice work carburetor whisperer,I knew you would find the problem Bill. Glad y`all had a Merry Christmas.
sure do miss you guys when you dont post happy to see you guys had a good christmas
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
this. this right here. you found the problem, instead of a "swing and a miss". and its not just carbs. it was nice to see you all together for christmas, but im a little pissy that i had to wait 3 days for a new vid, lol. god bless.
Merry Christmas to all of you!!! Nice catch on the linkage, I'd have felt the same way if it happened to one of my kids too!
Great job Bill.. I'm the exact same way..I don't let anyone check the problem..I do it to make sure it don't happen again..dont care if it takes hours, days, weeks or years...it dont get driven unless it's safe to be driven..
Man I’m coming to your house next year 😳👍 merry Christmas guys awesome family
Just a suggestion Bill, I know you do not want to weld anywhere near those shafts on the linkage. But I certainly would get some epoxy, and maybe even mix in a drop of red food coloring into it, mix it up, tape the bottom of that other 1:1 hole that linkage that it was originally in, fill that hole (since it could be forgotten to never set it up in that hole again, by someone else), fill the hole, add red tape, allow it to set up, then add 2 red tape dots to remind never to use that linkage setting. (Just trying to fill that dangerous hole with something that would not be easy to remove, and not get in the way of proper rotation, and stand up to carb chemicals also).
Could save a life.
Good stuff Bill. I am old school like you and learn from you all the time. I think you should drain the entire fuel system every time after you take the truck to the track.
I was so happy that you got it back to your shop. My mind was screaming for you to check the linkages on that carb. I'm 70 Bill and Own Hot Rods by J.R.
My shop is no longer open to the public. But my previous experience has had this same problem show up way more than times than I can count.
I lost a Son and know how much you worry. Let go Let God is nearly impossible when it's your children. Keep fighting the Blessed fights with the Boys. Darn it's hard to be a father. Much love from me and mine.
Merry Christmas to your family and I hope this solves the problems it’s tough when you have an on going problem but it’s still running pretty good good work 💪💪💪💪
Mr. Bill, my hats off to ya! You are amazing at finding motor issues, tunning, building and keeping your yard clean and neat. I pray that family had a great Christmas, I can see that your wife ( Mrs. Vicky) she can throw down in the kitchen. Yes Sir you eat good!! Food always looks scrumptious 😋.Mr. Bill I don't give crap what people negatively think about you. I enjoy your vids. Especially with your knowledge. Yes sir please keep making nice vids you and Mrs. Vicky. Have a happy holiday!!
@ 13 . 40 so far here...... HEYYYYYYYY u'd never do anything aweful to the kids ( we all know this by watching & listening to both u-tube channel's here ) u r the best dad & adviser w/ the most history of how things should run w/ awesome & incredible skills there DON'T BEAT YOUR SELF UP THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ALL ENJOY THE VIDEO'S & ALL U GUY'S THROW IN HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERY 1 THERE & INCLUDING US ALL WATCHING WE ALL TRUST YA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Old man, get some hydro electricity going on that river.. free powah
Bill you are awesome when it comes to racing and life. You know your shit! I teared up when u asked billy if u could find the problem. U have a lot of love for your family!! God bless
I'll be a monkey's uncle, I had the very same problem years ago (like 1988) on my 61 Chevrolet, the linkage would go over center on W.O.T. and stick open. Took me and my dad several weeks of digging before we found it.
Very happy you got to the bottom of that mystery, as a father I too would be worried sick if my kid was getting in a car that may have potential problems.
God bless !
I'm Glade to see all of y'all had a good Christmas and making progress on the S10 take care see you in the next video
Whats the deal with Rob wanting to jump in and take control over things? I feel like that's gonna do more harm than good .
I have missed the ol man and the videos
First thing I noticed on Billy's video was no gloves no fire jacket ....A testing fire burns as hot as a race fire blah blah etc.
You would think after seeing nick’s accident first hand he would be smarter than that
@@RLRSwanson for sure
GOD BLESS ALL , DO WHAT U LOVE , HAVE FUN, BE SAFE .
Great vid Bill! The property looks amazing, your hard work and perseverance shows!
Enjoyed seeing you all enjoying your Christmas together. Cheers!
Me and miss Vicky got the same gift for Christmas! I got the same rocking chair lol . Love the content keep up the great work .
Hi Bill Hoskinson I Will Going Back To Dallas, Texas Until Tuesday 🗓 January 📅 1st, 2030 I'm Ronald Adan Reyes Moreno Thank You.
Well damn pop glad your on his side because wiyh out a dout. You got a love for him he my not even know ya bump heads bit when push come to shove you are the carb master and will always get to the bottom line e .. will pop I'm not going no where's and will time in every as I have been ......2022 better look out tram scr coming foe that crown as fastest small tire .. 2022 no games coming from this team because BILL THATS WHAT YOU ARE... LOVE IT CANT WAIT..
Thank God that you got it straitend out bill, that was scary for us I can't even imagine how I'd be if it had been my son. That there is why you are the carb guru.
I can't hardly wait to see how it goes at the dyno.
Thanks for the new video old man really appreciated them. Don't get to see good humble Family Videos anymore on RUclips. Keep up the good work.
Well so glad u found the problem, cool thing is u went to your racing diary and found the solution!!😃 Happy New Year's to you and family love all the knowledge you share with us!!!
Merry Christmas and glad you got the carb problem sorted looking forward to the rest of your videos this week
@ 18 . 48 here so far........ we ever going to hear your history / summery ( what ever ya call it )... of your real racing days & your heavy equipment running stuff & all the lil tiny cool point's about u growing up & racing & working your tail off then & still going saying this cus u seem to really enjoy all that billy & tommy & their girlfriends meaning all the racing stuff........
The first time my oldest sun went down a track his throttle hung open on something I built. Luckily he had the experience to hit the kill switch and save it. That was the day all my race Jeeps, trucks, and cars had kill switches from then on. It’s so easy to just flip a switch instead of fumbling with a key switch. I know what you felt. So glad you found the problem. I’m a Carb guy like you and I think you are on to something about the MPH out the back. If you have not been getting all the secondary that has to effect your MPH. Excited to see the new trailer. And I understand picking your battles. My Marine son is like Billy in a lot of ways. I have to pick my battles with him as well. Another great video Bill…
That was 1 of the 10 things, take the base plate off, have either Holley or a great machinist drill and pin with roll pins wide open on those blades so they cannot roll over center, older 750's and 780 double pumper had the same issue with the linkage if the rod was not bent just right, they solved it by pinning.
Still, get rid of the steering column lock and add ignition kill switches on all race cars. That steering wheel locked on that first pass for a second when he rolled the key.
Sure loves that 1050 though. Happy sleep and lower blood pressure for High Drama things you can control Bill, screw the other battles you cannot win. But safety gear, always, alcohol fires, no fun.
Merry Christmas!! Glad you found the issue!! Can’t wait to see what’s coming!
So....I'm with your old grumpy ass on this one, anytime them boy's sit in them machine's......it's full on safety gear!!! Just because the last 499+ pass' have been safely carried out....you will never be able to predict any malfunction, Rather it be in your control or not and this will come with time....bill, can you remember when you became 28-30ish and all the stuff your ol' man "pitched a bitch" about seems to start making a little more sense than when you were 18-26??? Don't ever quit being that grumpy ol' man....but patience is a virtue!! Boys.....please do not skip any safety measures that you can control, you get one chance, that's before you get into that hot rod....after you let that trans break go, it's now in God's hands.... nobody gets to second guess gods plans!!! Much love from onadaga drag way!!
my uncle Charlie Roberts NHRA champ 1980 is in the Kil kare hall of fame cant wait to meet yall God bless your family
Congratulations on a 2021 season I'm looking forward to a great 2022 season for you guys Merry Christmas and God bless
The kid needs to get his head on straight and get rid of the stock pedal setup and put a race setup in it when toe return and scrap the stock steering deal and get rid of the lockable steering and put everything on switch panel and inline master shut off
i love how you love them youngens Bill!
Merry Christmas Bill and family. Can't wait to see what you bring in the new year. Much love from Montana.
Merry belated Christmas to the family. I hope your 2022 is pleasant and healthy and safe
You're 47 I was still climbing iron back then think young be young.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone. 🎅 and wow,,,awesome video,,,,,and you definitely are the carburetor whisperer...🤓🇺🇲🤘🍺🍕
Love You Guys videos..I haven't watched in so long with everything going on in My life.it really puts a smile in My heart..love Yall.☝🙏
Just in time I been having a crappie night here at work tonight finally got something positive hope your Christmas went great bill I can't wait to watch the dyno run
I am no keyboard expert..in fact I've only built one drag car but maybe a master shutoff inside the cab is a good idea? Reaching for the key on the big end was sketchy..glad your family had a great Christmas.
I can't wait to see what kind of power the truck makes if y'all show the numbers. I'm glad to see y'all had a good Christmas and I hope the new year will be better than this year.
Stay strong Bill. We saw the video of Billy going to the movies. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. We support you and your morals ,your a good man Bill. We are praying for y'all
WHY ITS PRIVATE AND DOESN'T NEED TO BE SAID PLZ RETACK YA COMMENT
Damn Drama queens why even bring it up other then try to get sh!t started.
Nothing fancy . But this man seems to have it all. God bless. Enjoying every bit of each day.
Merry Christmas y’all...
Good catch on that carb don’t blame for being worried I get worried seeing him get in there no gloves no fire suit shield up on his helmet just never know what can happen
WOW, really glad to see things went the way they did, some other methods could have taken place. The way I see it the Old Man might have saved the day. Looking forward to the trip to the dyno and the improvement we might see due to some changes. When I seen Billy in the truck, first thing I noticed he has his denim coat on but no gloves. I'm a motorcycle rider from way back and I believe gloves can play a big part even in drag racing, Billy put your F***ing gear on!!!
Merry Christmas Bill! Good to see you found the carb issue. Again, another insightful video with tips and things to look out for.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for the update and have a great week 🖐
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all. It was nice to see you and Billy working together again great family action. I no longer can race anymore to old but I do for a hobby scratch building 1/24th scale model cars. My knowledge of drag racing and owning the real thing has made me make the smaller ones very real. I sure enjoy your family and it helps me build my little ones would love to show you sometime. God bless you and the family for the future.
