    Hey guys, Im new here so bare with me. I need help, my deuce wont start!

    Going through the TM trouble shooting chart can be a big help. One time I had my deuce sitting in the driveway idling just like normal, no missing, no surging, nothing out of the normal and it just died like I had pulled out the stop cable.

    Only in a Huey!

    Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it and hope they come up this way at somepoint. Of course I keep hearing these rumors of some kind of MV rally I think in Ga. Maybe I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone. :-)

    Do I need bigger brakes...?

    Something don't sound correct. Did the kit you installed come with a new master cylinder and proportioning valve ?

    Death of a Multifuel

    The spec for the rocker covers is a lb/in not lb.ft so 30~60 lb/in isn't very much. :)

    SUMB- The Unimog's very ugly French cousin!

    Man I loved those planes, large and in charge. When I was growing up in Annapolis the Blue Angels flew them and I couldn't wait for graduation at the Naval Academy and the demonstration they would put on. Man those planes at tree top level then hitting afterburner and going near vertical would...

    MEP-003A Unstable Hz problem. Any ideas?

    Checkout TM5-6115-585-34, Chapter 7, Sec 7-3. It goes through the throttle cable and governor adjustment. Mine always starts out running a little fast but given 5~10 minutes to warm up, depending on the outside temp it settles back to where it was last time I ran it. I haven't moved the throttle...

    deuce t-case issues

    If you do that. Be sure to double check the bore and the piston seal grove to make sure there isn't something like a burr or nick that cut the seal.

    deuce t-case issues

    Sounds like the piston seal in the airshift solenoid is bad letting the air pass into the transfer case.They make a replacement kit that has a new piston, seals and boreliner. I would give Kublos a call and let them know about the problem. They may send you the kit gratis sense you just...

    Maintenance - it never ends..........

    :ditto: That's what got me into the mv hobby. I am a mechanic at heart and just wanted something I could wrench on and didn't need a computer and hundreds of dollars in software to work on. I enjoy the shear act of diagnosing a problem and effecting a repair more than just riding around town in...

    Affordable hydraulic hoses?

    When I made a living as a heavy equipment mechanic for a large construction company back in the late 70's to early 80's all the Cat equipment, from the little D3/931 up to the d9's, 631/637 pans and everything in the middle used 10 weight motor oil for the hydraulics. Not sure what they use now...

    Maintenance - it never ends..........

    :funny: Just like a radial engine. If it's not leaking it needs oil.

    Question about Deuce TMs

    I also just print what I need and take out with me while doing the work. I don't have to think twice about them getting trashed because I just toss them and print new when needed.
