Computer balanced armatures you say? Is that computer during manufacture or built into the starter?

G'day Mate! I used to live in Woomera, SA back in 1995-1997. I didn't know they had gun shows anymore after that bloke went trigger happy in Hobart in 1996. I remember the Aussie's calling in the radio station I listened to and complaining that the government couldn't take away their gun...

Since I don't have my Deuce yet, I'll fall back on my Jeep experience. When the clutch is about to go, it engages right above the floor (normally a few inches up). As I head to the garage, it gets lower and lower until basically the clutch is always out & no matter how far you put that pedal...

I am an old database guy & data junkie. My Jeep that I've had 19-years has not only every oil change, repair & part replaced logged, but every single fill-up since the day I got it. I can see historically how the mileage has decreased as I add things to it (& how my mileage shot up when I...

What kind of trailer is that? I've never seen one like that before.

ACK! Ok, now I understand what you are referring to. DEFINITELY don't want that in my Deuce. Thanks for the explanation! I don't have a trailer to drag up a hill, won't cruising down the highway at 2200 RPM keep the engine toasty warm & burning its fuel completely? :driver:

Ok, that makes sense. I wasn't planning to have it sitting around a long time just idling. I figured if I wasn't going to take it out, just idle it 5-min to warm up & then shut down. Taking it out for a spin sounds more fun anyway.

Ok, I'm confused now. So the 5-min of warmup idling and the 5-min of cool down idling is worse than not starting it at all? :-? Even the Multi-Fuel Engine Truck Operator Manual, Page 15 (Mar 1977) states "Keep your engine running - idle between 800-1000 RPM - for short stops. Figure a short...

You could always prototype?

You mean the plate site? http://www.dataplates.net/ I just pulled it up fine.

You going to put an operation BMG up on that ring? All that awesome work deserves more than a painted broom stick sitting up there. [thumbzup]

According to the Multi-Fuel Engine Truck Operator Manual (Mar 1977), it states "If your STOP control fizzles out on you and won't cut off the engine, here's an emergency way to stop your engine: With brakes ON and transmission in highest gear, let out the clutch and stall the engine." Of...

I'm guessing that with my truck soon to be living in Phoenix, AZ area where temps are high and moisture is (what is moisture again?:wink:) almost non-existent, I won't have to worry about moisture getting into the oil. I plan to start the engine up at least once or twice a month (if I'm not...

This is starting to remind me of the Andy Griffith Show episode where Barney Fife buys the car from the sweet old lady.

Can you put Seafoam into the box (Hydraulic Head Assembly) where the fuel shutoff linkage connects to? Would that do any good to keep it from sticking? I'm definitely going to put a bottle of Seafoam into my Deuce when I pick it up next month to bring it home. Couldn't hurt.

Thanks, I'll just add a note in my truck book (book for the truck where I write-down everything to remember when am out & about).

Glad it was an easy fix. :-D

Cool looking rig. Can't wait to see it when you are done with it.

Welcome to the site. Hope you get your ailing A3 back purring like a freight train.:tank:
