Hi everyone, been busy this summer being overseas for 3 months and life has just gotten in the way. I just got a call from the longtime girlfriend of bede63 saying that he passed away tues due to cancer. I know he wasn't the most vocal on here, tended to do a lot of lurking. Anyone that knew him...
Thanks guys, my father said the same thing about the gas so i tried that. I get the same thing as with the ether :( cranks over normally, gas goes off stopping the engine completely and then rotation resumes. Sounds like its waaaay off on timing but i can't quite see why. Thanks for the tip...
Been tinkering on the engine in the 108 for the last few weeks as i could really use it and its parked in a really poor spot currently. It made a several mile journey via flatbed about a month ago to a new storage site and simply will not run for me now. The last time i started it was likely...
Hi all, been searching for a headgasket for the m35a1 and ran into a bit of a mystery while talking to white owl the other day. It seems the stock number for the headgasket on a lds 427-2 and a ldt 465 are the same. Concrete info on the rellationship between these two multifuel siblings has come...
Look at that, log on for the first time in months to send a PM and this it the top topic :-) I have a m35a1 with an 11 foot highway plow on it and as such have some experience here. While the cab does leak air like a colander and the wipers do suck i must say that even on the coldest days i...
The bomb around through the trees, ok cool i'll watch that. Never going to do that with my trucks but eh, its not really that destructive with the right cage on there. But why the **** would you light it on fire?????? Its kind of a given that you are going to burn it to the ground. It wasn't...
Hmm, it was the original IP i was replacing and i believe to to be an early G code unit. The hyd heads i had tried were all of newer but not NEW production. Going to have to do some measuring when i get home from work, most of the "working, not, who knows" pile of parts is in the garage. Isn't...
I hear you on the HH removal, you can get it down to a really short time span after the second or third time doing it. The IP isn't too bad after you have done that a few times as well. Now, lets hope i don't need to do either again anytime soon, LOL. For your issue it sounds a lot like a timing...
Thanks for the heads up mike, and yes gimp its been in a long while. Not that it really helped in the end, but hey it runs now :-)

Hey there guys, a HUGE event occurred last Sunday. I FINALLY after much wrenching got the M35A1 to RUN. First time in 10-15-20 years..who knows, last sticker on the plate is 1993. Put a new injection pump on after removing the existing one twice, replacing a quill shaft, several new hyd heads...
Well guys, only got 3 hours of sleep in order to get to the airport monday morning to get the liberty belle starting after sitting overnight and then heading off to CT for its next stop. So totally worth it, the rumble of those engines, its just magical. Unfortunately i was behind the ****ed...
Yeah, i hear ya there. Sure its got plenty of guns but that aluminum skin feels mighty thin once you get to go in there and crawl around. I would NOT want to be in one of those in wartime.
Got to check out this AMAZING plane at a local airport. Its owned and run by Home | Liberty Belle B-17 Flying Fortress
Only in town for the weekend then they move along to a new airport. Got some great pics and a walk around vid as well as an interior vid. Sadly they had just done the final...
Funny, i think i came across some info by him in my search, was looking at those 2A042's as well. Suppose i need to see what it says in the design specs for max engine weight and CG allowance before i can do too much anyway. Thanks for the info.
Hey armada any more info on the 4A032 for flight use??? Contacted the guy from that article and he said...and i quote " don't bother, not enough power" Looked all darned afternoon for more info as it does look SWEET when stripped of its stationary cooling shrouding. Certainly looks and sounds...
Carl...if you ever get one of those i simply MUST go see it :-) You could stop in at all the northeast rallys in it, dosen't take much space to land a chopper that small. Yup waayfast, does look much like a scaled down cropduster of some sort, was thinking pawnee myself. You know how sturdy tht...
