Help! Truck won’t start! Gas 350

Or does it look like this?

Very cool. Between yours, mine and one other I have only seen 3 in my entire life.
 
I believe so, it came off of a one owner C60 Farm truck. I do not believe it would have been factory on GoGoGirls ride but I am not real familiar with military stuff.

It's not factory; the original transfer case was an NP208 I believe. I do have an NP205 which is somehow PTO-capable, but I don't use it as such.

Vehicle was mechanical diesel originally.
 
What you're describing is a choke cable not a throttle cable. When choked (cable pulled out) it will engage a high idle until you push the cable back in all the way or press the gas.

Nope, see post #121 It connects directly to the throttle foot pedal. The one pictured is in my K5 right now and I have owned it for over 30 years. I personally removed it from a one owner C60 Nebraska farm truck. It was even listed on the RPO sheet.

I was not referring to your picture. I was referring to the OP
 
I went back and looked at the what carb do i have post's pictures and it is defiantly a throttle rpm set cable
 
Alright folks, for what it’s worth, it appears to be a throttle cable. It connects directly to the upper part of the throttle thing on the driver’s side of the carb. Gas pedal connects below it.

In this photo, the thing that looks like a toilet flush chain is what leads to the knob that I think is the manual throttle...maybe I’m wrong. Below it is the armature with springs that connects to the gas pedal.
 
That is totally different then the way mine attaches but it is activating the throttle. Makes me wonder what the control side looks like. FWIW the procedure you described in post 119 does sound like the normal function for a choke cable so I totally understand Chevy305s point of view.

Which is why I probably went around telling y’all that I had a manual choke during my first few months of ownership :)

I’ll get a photo of the control side of it tomorrow. It’s nothing special, and obviously aftermarket.
 
Obviously I'm late. But did nobody think to take a voltmeter reading while trying to crank? You can learn a lot from checking voltage at different parts of the circuit.

@GoGoGirl, your M1009 originally used dual top-post batteries. Your picture doesn't show enough for me to be sure, but I suspect you're reusing bits of the factory military harness, and that would explain why you have top-post battery connections on a squarebody (civilian squarebodies used side-post batteries).

Toilet chain seems like a bad (weak) idea, but it doesn't seem to be a particular concern at the moment.
