    Diesel Fuel Lubricant

    There isn't any problem using it on engines designed for ultra low sulfur fuel. It would still be good for the engine, just not needed as much in my opinion.

    Diesel Fuel Lubricant

    There are apparently some major differences in lubricity products. I've attached a set of test data I downloaded. According to this, some additives actually make diesel worse, such as MMO.

    Diesel Fuel Lubricant

    We lost power yesterday for about 6 hours. Of course we had company over and it was hot and we needed the air conditioning. The MEP003A came to the rescue again. My fuel tank was close to empty, so when I filled it back up, I added Opti-Lube XPD fuel lubricant to the tank at a rate of .25 FL...

    MEP002 Muffler

    It's better if you use flex pipe to connect to larger diameter pipe. The larger diameter pipe will reduce restriction on the exhaust.

    Deuce lights not working

    The wiring in an M35A2 is very simple. Just follow the circuits on the schematic. You have likely disturbed a wiring connection when you exchanged your batteries. I attached a wiring schematic for your use.

    MEP 003A No start

    The pumps are identical so there is no problem swapping them. However, before you do that you should prove that you have a problem with the pump. Crack open a line and see if diesel is sprayed out. If so, the pump is fine. Are you sure you don't have air in the system? Try bleeding the...

    The value of anything is only as high as someone is willing to pay. It will be interesting to see how high these will go or if the price will come crashing down at some point.

    Rare find I think>Military Honda from Ft. Knox/ or Fort Cambell Kentucky.

    Are you talking about the M274 Mechanical Mule? That is not a motorcycle.

    m35a2 headlight

    As far as headlights go, stay away from the Chinese bulbs. I've had three fail. I have never had a Wagner NOS bulb fail.

    Greetings from Florida new member with M1030M1

    The compression release is on the left handlebar and is marked as a choke because the choke lever on a gas powered bike is used for the compression release. The M1030M1 is electric start only. The compression release is to relieve any existing compression when the piston starts its journey up...

    Greetings from Florida new member with M1030M1

    I don't have a manual for the M1030M1, but I've been told by two different people that the procedure is to move the compression release lever fully to the left and then to close it prior to starting. That's what I've been doing with mine and it seems to work well. As far as bleeding air from...

    M35a3 unloader air lines

    I had a similar issue with my M35A3 a few years ago. It turned out to the the priority valve. I found a new one on-line, but don't remember where. It is a common part on civilian trucks and easy to replace. If you replace it, make sure you get the correct pressures, or can adjust to the...

    Greetings from Florida new member with M1030M1

    I have a Genius 7200. My first one failed after one week, went completely dead, but the company replaced it quickly with no questions. I've now had the replacement almost a year and I love it. It will charge both 12 and 24 volt batteries, AGM and standard and also lithium batteries. We'll...
