Thanks FLAson ... I gave that a try yesterday. I even tried moving the control assembly back and forth slowly to see if it makes a difference. No change. But I did notice that the control assembly does NOT spring back to the 7:00 O'clock position when cranking. It actually is a little harder...

Before the job I read nearly every thing (manuals AND SS threads) I could find on replacing the o-rings . But I didn't come across this one in my search. Good thread ... lots of similarities. I forgot to mention that I have NO smoke when attempting to start. The flapper on the exhaust...

I know this is an old thread, but I'm chasing down a problem with my truck and am leaving no stone unturned. As I read this post ... it seems that the "OLD" pump had been timed incorrectly. When he installed the new pump, the truck started and ran fine. Is it possible all that was wrong with...

No. If I had, I would have put it on the truck the third time I took it all apart. Well, maybe the forth time ... I am kinda stubborn.

It occurs to me that I have had a similar problem about a year ago. I ran out of fuel once about a year ago ... and it took FOREVER to get the truck to start. But once it did ... all was well with the world.

I haven't checked the pressures yet, but based on what I'm seeing when I open the lines ... I don't think my problems lie there. I do have a spare set of injectors and a couple extra steel lines. I'm thinking over the weekend I might hook up an injector and hold a can under it to see if if its...

OK … I’m stumped. And after 3 days, more than a little frustrated. 6 weeks ago my Deuce was running great, except it was “making oil” in the oil pan. My wife had her hip replaced … so I let it sit for the 6 weeks. I was coming up on my annual maintenance so I figured I just do...

A number of folks have built pre-lubers from cheap components. This thread shows what can be done with the oil pump from a Chrysler 318 and a junk yard starter motor. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?21126-Pre-Post-Lubrication-System-Done Personally, I think the bottlework's...

I pulled the HH from the IP and as I was lifting it out of the IP, the bottom bits came apart. It seems that the O-ring had been installed so that it pinched under the tin cover looking thing. That appears to be why I've been making oil lately. Now I have a part that I can't figure out how it...

I did the same as QJ ... no problems, no troubles. I did it so long ago I forget which end of the cable I took off. If I had to guess, I 'd say I unhooked it from the brake. T

Please re-read my post #12. I never said volume "didn't matter" ... I asked if allowing a pre-pump to to pump for 8 seconds or even 10 seconds to fill all those passage-ways is better than a dry start-up. I cannot think of a single instant where running an engine for 8 seconds without oil...

Got a part number? It turns out that Johnson makes a bunch of pumps.

OK ... maybe not a container ... but not a continuous loop (out of oil pan, back to oil pan, if I understand what you are trying to say) either. You are right in some sense, there are passageways, but they just don't dump oil back into the pan. It is those passageways that lead to...

I guess you'd have to ask a guy who broke a camshaft due to cam bearing worn out from dry starts. Dry starts is the reason we all were looking so hard at them one way valves a couple months back. I think I'm back to looking at some kind of oil pump (maybe something out of a 350 Chevy) driven...

It might be useful to identify what alternator you have. Are there any id tags, labels or manufacturer number stamped into the alternator anywhere?

I wonder if a 20 gallon propane tank would be enough for a horn. I've turned any number of them tanks into portable compressed air tanks for airing up race car tires.

Yep. Easily enough air to change a tire. I've done it any number of times. This being said, recently somebody gave me an oxygen bottle for a welding/cutting outfit. I haven't looked up the gallonage, but its about 4 feet tall. I have a good O2 tank already. I find myself wondering if I...

rofl Mkcoen quote "Anyone going through basic in the Army since at least the mid-70s rode in one of them." Earlier than mid-70's. I rode (and MOOOOOOOOOED) in them at Fort Jackson in 1970. I would have thought the last of them things rotted out and blew away eons ago. Along with the last...

Yep ... there sure are a lot of them. Perhaps a "Lube your Truck" contest should be held at all MV Rallies. A timed event ... no written copy of lube orders used by the contestant. Take points off for each alemite missed.

Maybe its a typo, maybe I'm a little confused, but I can't figure out if you have an A2 or an A3. I am no expert, but I believe I've read that M35A3's are not newly built trucks, but an assemblage of parts from several OLD trucks as a result of a rebuild program in the late 80's early 90's...
