Manifold (heater) Destiny

[coolnick73]

I was attempting to start my deuce this morning and I thought that it would be handy to be able to use my manifold heater rather than jump out of the cab, run around the truck, spray some either, run back to the cab, and try to start the engine, repeat if needed.

I searched through a bunch of the manifold heater threads and thought I would start out with seeing if the spark plug was gummed up. I took it out and when I flipped it over a bunch of ceramic pieces poured out of the plug's top. I tried looking for a replacement online and and a local NAPA to no avail.

It says it is an AUTOLITE 2189 10935558

Does anyone know where I could get a new one?

Any help would be great

Why do you need any starting aids this time of year?

We had a frost warning last night and it was probably in the upper 30's this morning.

Any military spark plug would work ya know....... Auto lite makes them for about 8 bucks a pop. Heat range really does not matter.

My deuce also needs some help when it gets into the low 40's. Check your oil level often. A stuck heater nozzle will let fuel into the crankcase. The usual places like Memphis
Equipment should have an igniter. I just use a tiny shot of starting fluid in the mushroom cap.

My old 72 would kick right off down to about 0 degrees, I hope this 68 or 71 are the same way. I really liked the way it started right off, no matter how cold it seemed to be around here. The 68 has been converted to ether injection, hopefully I do not have an ether baby. Glen

I just bought one online for a M715 so I hope it works.

Why does it seem like every time I take a wrench to my deuce, my wallet gets lighter? Maybe it is trying to tell me something.
