    Darn, how did I miss this? I've got a spare if you still need one, I'm in Vallejo

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Get the jj and a tool... Works fantastically! Worth every penny! A word of advice though: they recommend not using wrenches on it and I must agree. I managed to pull the threaded end off one of my plugs using wrenches on the #7 cylinder plug. Due to the weird clearances it was "easier" to...

    Second opinion on my loss of power diagnosis please!

    Backed out that screw two turns and the motor is definitely better but still loud... more like it should be I'm thinking :-) Now it sounds nice a clattery (I hearby deem that a technical term ;-) ) but not like a jackhammer knocking through a ship's hull.

    Second opinion on my loss of power diagnosis please!

    Thank you all for the response! @welpro: LOL, I appreciate you trying to let me down easy... In this case replacing the IP is probably the easier operation as the fuel tank has more than 20 gals in it and I only have 3 empty fuel cans :-( @cucvrus: Good pics, thanks! I was having some...

    Second opinion on my loss of power diagnosis please!

    So a few weeks ago my 1009 started losing power. It would start and run fine in the morning but by the time the engine was fully warmed up the idle was down and I couldn't maintain speed going uphill (would slow to 45-50 from 65). It got to the point after a day or so that when I needed to...
