    Changed alternator and still no charge

    I have gone through the trouble shooting steps so many times I can't see straight anymore. So I'm here to ask for some help. I have a Deuce that has a charging issue. I am getting 23 VDC at the exciter wire. 23VDC at the batteries. But 0 VDC at the alternator out put terminal. I have changed to...

    Starter Source

    I just had my starter rebuilt by a local shop in Macon Ga called Crank -N- Charge. A guy named Doug did the work. He rebuilt the starter and changed the solenoid in less than a week turn around time. Total price was $80.00. He can get new starters for $268.00. He said he can rebuild the...

    Busted Cam Shaft

    You and me both. I'd much rather get this engine going than have to change it.

    Busted Cam Shaft

    It had a lifter canted in the bore causing the #5 intake valve to be stuck open. I used a small emery cloth roll and a long piece of all thread. Cleaned the lifter bore just a bit. The lifter moves smoothly now. The was some rust in that lifter bore causing it to hang up. Glad it's fixed now. I...

    Busted Cam Shaft

    I have another thread under the conversations tab covering my plans with the Ford Can Over. I am going to build a 16 ft flat bed with a 4ft dove tail. I also plan on making it a dump bed.

    Busted Cam Shaft

    All of the valve train is as loose as the adjustment bolts will let them be. I found the problem while turning over the motor by hand to set the #1 cyl intake valve at wide open. So I could adjust the valve tolerances from scratch. It will turn over without the heads on it. I never checked to...

    Busted Cam Shaft

    So I have hit a brick wall with this engine. Well more like a Steel Wall. The engine rotates freely with a socket on the bolt on the front of the crank. Put the heads on and try to rotate it, It rotates until the piston comes up in the #5 cyl. It hits the head. So now I have either a stretched...

    Deuce starting...and running problems

    Mine did the exact same thing yours is doing right now. I changed the filters. Checked the fuel pump. Turned up both the fuel screw and droop screw. I got the power I was missing back but I still couldn't get it to start without ether. I finally changed the hydraulic head. I hit the start button...

    Busted Cam Shaft

    Today I got the spare motor broke down and discovered that the head gaskets had been leaking for a long time and all the cylinders except the #1 were rusted and pitted. But the Cam was good. I got it out and installed in the motor in the Deuce. All the accessories except the air compressor are...

    Busted Cam Shaft

    What I need is a good set of engine gaskets. I have a good cam. I bought a whole motor a few weeks ago for the cam and a few other parts.

    Busted Cam Shaft

    Yesterday I drug another Deuce into the driveway. It has been sitting in a guys yard for a year and a half with a busted cam shaft. He disassembled most of the motor with the intent to scrap it and put a Cummins in the truck. He ran out of funds though so I am going to replace the Cam and put...

    Convert to Automatic??

    Allison makes a trans that will bolt up to the multi fuel with two PTO mounting points. It is the RDS 2500. I had two of them for awhile and was playing around with mounting one to the multi but it takes a lot of power to turn that trans so I eventually gave up on the idea and just kept the...

    I am replacing all the plastic lines this week. I have the new line, fittings, and ferules sitting in the garage. And yes the busted plastic line was sleeved with a rubber hose.

    Fixed Deuce no start and low power issue

    On my cross country move the fuel line running from the fuel filters to the injection pump blew. I sleeved it with some rubber hose and went on my way. After a couple miles I noticed she was down on power and wasn't able to pull more than 900 EGT and 40 to 45 miles an hour on flat land. I...

    ARB install in the rear axle

    Done Today I sat down and looked at my options. I decided to modify my original plan. I went with the ARB solenoid and switch for activation. I plumbed it off of the under dash air fitting. I put a second switch in the dash so I have to turn it on first to send power to the ARB switch then turn...
