When I first got my 1009 it didn't have the front starter mount, I don't know how many NOS starter bolts I snapped until I asked someone about this and they showed me the front mount.......DOH! I'm a slow learner sometimes, got pretty good at "easy outing" those darn things though. On the...

UPDATE: Monday I tore into the flexplatre, it was cracked on three sides going from the center out. Once the transmission/torque converter was out of the way I was able to remove the plate even though the center piece was still bolted to the crank! I can't believe it even started, much less...

Watkinssr: Thanks for that advise! Transman: Yeah after I got off the phone, I got to thinking a 6.2 is a 6.2, the starter is the same distance from the crank on all of them, so why wouldn't a TH700 flexplate work for a TH400? You answered that question, I'll take my mangled flexplate with...

I made it home safely, and parked her on my cement slab, went in had dinner, came out jacked her up, pulled the pan, shined a flashlight up in there, and found a severly cracked but still intact flexplate! I KNOW what I'll be doing this weekend! At least I can drive the Deuce to work...

Transman, I never heard of that before, THANKS, if the flexplate isn't broken that will be the next thing I check.

No white smoke. After my drive this morning I'm leaning more towards the flex plate. If I make it home tonight I'll tear into her and see whats happening down there. Assuming it is the flexplate.......where can I get a new one? Is this a routine item I can get locally through AutoZone or NAPA...

Don't know anything about the "timing and throttle advance" circuit.....but when it's cold you press the throttle pedal once and give it a small wiff of starting fluid and she'll start up and idle fast until warmed up........so I'm GUESSING that's ok. I drove her to work today, if I make it...

Well anything is possible, but the noise just disappears at higher RPM the engine actually gets quiter. That's why I'm so perplexed. The engine noise does not mask this rattle, it actually goes away, and I can here the engine running. The glowpugs are still in the engine, I pulled them out a...

Gentlemen/Ladies: I know some of you will cringe at this, but the glowplug system has been fried for the last 5+ years on my M1009. Being electronically challenged, I ran a hose from the air cleaner's inlet through the firewall and mounted it next to the ashtray where the lighter would go. I...
