heald hauler

The one I have is four wheeled with a cab. It has head lights and a tail light....and brake light. It has electric windshield wipers as well as a dent free dump box.   It even has usable OEM doors.

It also has turn signals......I am going to rebuild the carburetor......as oddly enough, it's run good for a couple of years that I know of....and now it's giving me a bit of trouble.....my bad luck. But not a major item...more of an irritation.

I have not decided on the sale price yet, but given everything involved, I suspect I'll be over $2K in asking.

One of the electrical contractors that I have worked for had a Cushman much like that.

I am not sure if I'm at the right place...but if not, I apologize.....

I am working on a nice Heald Hauler with a cab and doors...and in nice shape for a machine of that vintage. It has developed a problem....it starts good, idles properly and runs decent at mid-level rpms, but seems to run out of fuel when at elevated rpms.   I assumed a problem with the carb or the built in fuel pump. Ordered a carb kit and dismantled and carefully cleaned the carb and made sure all passages were open.....three way, mechanically with a piece of fine wire, compressed air and carb cleaner.   All new parts gaskets, needle, idle screw, gaskets and also all internal fuel pump parts.   No better!!   Replaced fuel line and filter....no better.   Took the carb apart again in case I missed something.....no better.   Put a new hose from crankcase to pulse input barb on the pump....seemed a little better.....made sure passages was opened to crank case with probe and compressed air and then some carb cleaner....no better.   Does anyone have any idea what might cause this condition.....and suggest any fix......HELP   Not new to this sort of work....but I am missing something and don't know what it must be.... When engine starts to falter...if one lets up on throttle it will recover...and run decent.....   I'm missing something.....ideas welcome...and hoped for.

I thought about that and borrowed an electric pump from a neighbor.....but the pump pressure from the Briggs pump is 1.5 psi....and the automotive electric pump should put out 4 to 7 psi....and might well destroy the diaphragm inside the carb mounted pump....and just spent $21 for a kit that included the new gaskets and springs and diaphragm ...... not sure if I want to take that risk..

Any idea what might cause the pulse from the crankcase to be compromised....if that pulse is weak...the pump would be weak as well....just guessing what could affect the pump performance...a shot in the dark....

Check the fuel tank vent or vented cap. HTH tracy

I would still try a remote gas tank hung above the carb and not running through the fuel pump. I have a large fuel filter that I cut one end off of and have a piece of rubber fuel line on the other. I have started and ran a lot of motors with it through the years. I had a kohler on a welder that I like to never got to run right. I did this to it and it ran well. I wound up buying an electric fuel pump from a small engine place to fix the problem.

On the first page of this thread one of the pics clearly shows the decal.

Friend has one similar it’s called a turf-truk. Made in Turlock CA. bought brand new in Paso Robles CA at El Camino Equipment. By his grandpa in the early 70’s. Has a flat bed about 4’x4’ Harley Davidson disc brake on the drive shaft. Honda 10 horse engine from the factory, golf cart frame, and what looks like a ATC front end. Just this year finished a restoration on it. It was used to haul almonds back in the day.

My older brother had the Herald Super Bronco mini bike. I think it had the 10 hp engine on it. It would really go if you reached back and grabbed the governor. I think I have a picture somewhere.

Two things you could check is the clearances on the valves, or if the guides are worn bad you could lose vacuum both ways and so have a low pulse. Could you put the fixit on here when you're done. Thanks.     Leon
