use a 10mm wrench on the back side of the injection pump and open the bleeder valve then pump away on the hand pump or... tap a schrader valve into the fuel tank cap and pressurize at max of 5 psi with that bleeder open. Wa-la! Fuel, primed, and on the road.
I see them too but won't hold my breath for them. They're 30+ days out and can be dropped in a split second..plus that batch will go sky high due to panic/demand. I'm just going to keep watching and waiting.

Its been a busy week. I parted out what good was left of this M813. She had water damage, mad max style roll cage from the VFD, ^@%# rat-nest wiring, a ton of torch holes where they installed piping for the pods in the bed, and then left out in the elements for about 5 years. I was clued into a...
