Oh and that’s without the glow heater, mine doesn’t work

Find that pulling the hand throttle out about 1/3-1/2 ways and cranking for about 5 seconds then trying to start it with the throttle closed starts mine right up but that’s only in the 20’s here in New Mexico, not sure where your at

Anyone have an extra soft top for an m818 they don’t need anymore?

You can put them in the front too ?

My M818 rides very rough over anything bigger than a pothole and after closer examination the distance between the springpacks up front and the spring snubber is only an inch or two is that normal?

Yes some of these numbers I think were put on with a sharp pencil! Anyway. I found the number it starts with a C but that leaves out the first set of numbers. But I thought I read somewhere on here that the actual vin doest start till the c does that make any sense?

You guys were right. Thanks sooo much. It looks like the final 5 numbers of the serial number are on there is that normal?

One pic is by the perch and one is by the snubber :( you would think they would be in the same spot

I don’t see anything but there is probably 6 coats of paint. Before I strip the whole thing can you help me narrow it down in these pics. By the fuel filter? By the spring perch?

Thanks I will look when I get off work ;)

I am going to try to register and title my m818 and am going to try to save myself ALOT of time and frustration by being able to show the dmv the 2nd vin location for my out of state title registration. Can someone please help. Thanks

Does anyone have the procedure for adjusting valves and injectors on a m818 with a nhc250. I couldn’t find it within any of the Tim’s. Thanks

Had a local mechanic pull the liner today. Yes it defiantly ate up the liner!!!! But the rod bearing push tubes and rod all looked great so in with another and let’s see what happens!!!

These pics are from under the oil pan. Hopefully you can see the sleeve broken off

I just got an m818 in non running condition. It had a small hole in the oil pan below no.1 cylinder. Basically I knew it wasn’t a rod so I got it started and it ran fine minus the huge oil leak. I took the pan off to repair the hole and found tons of quarter to 50 cent pieces of the cylinder...
