I dont really know how long the lift sat before they sold it. All I know its some nasty stuff that was on the pickup tube and fuel fill strainer. Hope the injector pump doesnt look the same.
I just bought a Hyster forklift powered by a Isuzu diesel from the govt.(scl - The lift has a sticker above the fuel cap that reads Biodiesel. Now heres the question. Does the biodels go bad, when it does go bad does it look like fudge? Anyone have one of these engines?

Just bought the ticket - Bringing the Pinz712 plus some guns (.50 cal rifles, AOW shotguns and a couple SMG's) and some mil surplus to sell/trade. Looking for a M416 trailer /Mutt parts if any one has a decent one for sale. Is it cool to bring a pop up shelter for the shooting range...

starting problem
Just read the post below mine - sounds like a good place to start from. My fuel pump is running - at least sounds like it is. Have to check all the lines as mentioned.
Have a 89 M35A2C that I bought a year ago October - It has always started in the first few turns of the starter. Last time I went to start it up it stumbled like it was going to fire up then nothing. I dont use it on a regular basis so it sits for periods between starts. Cranks fine - just...
repro mutts
Karl King did build 151 bodies and assembled mutts. The King bodies I saw had some part fitting issues, but they worked. After King stopped making mutt bodies an outfit called Sandy Engineering started doing it. I dont know the circumstances between those two but the quality of...
emissions in FL
The original owner had a letter from the state of FL exempting it from testing. We dont have that crap here any more (testing that is) state found out after sampling air that it didnt change anything. All it did was waste millons of dollars. They closed all the stations.
Picked up today this 1998 M151A2 Encore - These were built with M151A2 running gear, engine, ect. assembled on a new body.
Runs great just been sitting outside for a couple years. Soon to be painted Desert Tan. I used to work for Encore in 97 - 98 as a buyer before they want belly up...
