    Deuce hard start

    I replaced the HH since it was doing the same thing, that is it needed statring fluid to fire up and a few squirts to maintain an idle, then after a couple minutes it would run on its own. After searching the forums and chatting with others here, the concensus was the HH was going bad and could...

    Deuce starting...and running problems

    Thanks guys! I've seen some posts that say these are not servicible, and one very good one that details the pictures of a successfull attempt. I figure I have nothing to loose by fooling around with it for a day before I spend any more money on this thing.

    M109 oil pressure gauge not working

    Thanks everyone. I picked up a mech gauge and had 25psi at idle...changed the oil and filters and I'm in the 50-75psi range between 1000 and 2000 rpm. Next problem is finding out why it won't start w/o a shot of ether(I'm mixing w/ WD40 after reading some other posts).

    Can you point me to the location of the sending unit? I want to be sure I pull the correct fitting. I have a aftermarket gauge laying around I can plumb in.

    M109 oil pressure gauge not working

    I purchased a 1967 M109 this weekend with a Continental multi-fuel with 172 hours on the meter overhauled back in 1990. After 2 days of wrenching and head-scratching and searching threads I got it running. The motor sounds good, but the oil pressure gauge does not come off the low peg. I...

    M35A2 no fuel at injectors

    Hey guys, I'm in the same boat but apparently a different creek...All the same symptoms as above, removed the HH only to find everything attached as I think it should be. no extra parts left in the housing. Does this mean the HH is toast? if so what does one cost? Where can I find one? I just...
