Spent most of the weekend working on the goat, most of the time on cleaning both fuel tanks. These sat for 13+ years with about 5 gallons in each tank, a brown stinky mess. After removing the tanks I mixed up some Marine Clean and then heated it right in the tank on the Coleman stove, what...
The rack on all or one of the injectors is most likely stuck. You will have to remove the injector and soak it in clean fuel to free them up or replace the injector. After that there is a procedure in the engine TM to adjust the rack and injector timing.
Exactly the same as mine, must be a common problem, I see a warning about it in the PS magazine. Thanks for looking, hang on to it in case I can't find a complete one, thanks.
Today I relocated the wiring terminal board from the back where it is unreachable to the side where it can be reached. I took a spare cucv terminal board I had and mounted it to the original plate. The cucv one uses a nice cover with thumb screws, the M561 cover requires you to use tools and...
Tom came through again, cylinder head arrived from AR today. It may not look very big but it sure is heavy! So far it is cleaning up nicely, it survived the ride just fine as far as I can tell. Big thank you to Tom for the ride and Mark for making it available.
Have the air box fitted that Tom sent so I decided while waiting for the M1010 battery to charge I would spray some forest green on the parts. The first piece is what is normally welded into the hull. I epoxied 3 additional mounting tabs to the floor and used speed nuts as used in the rest of...

Received a parts shipment from AR today, arrived quickly. The air duct is not a separate part from the hull so getting this was special indeed. I was very surprised to see the top bow support rods, these are hard to find. As with the air duct my transmission shift lever was bent from the de...
The original bracket is a one piece unit. You can buy a 12v alternator that fits in the original bracket but I don't know if they have done that on yours. Post up a picture of yours.
Check with Saturn Surplus they have quite a few M880 parts on their site. The weak spot on these is the electrical, I had to chase down a few electrical issues with mine.
