I've tried adjusting air pressure, that didn't seem to work. Gonna try this and see. A Club Member fashioned a toe in/out checker out of PVC, I'm going to copy it and check my front end. I'll let you know.

I tinkered around all week after work on the Deuce. I installed an interior armor light in the cab, and re-installed the gauge panel for my boost and pyro. The boost gauge was operational for the event this weekend, but the pyro was not. Installing the pyro pre-turbo is a little more work than a...

In my humble opinion, not real good. I think I would put that towards the end of the troubleshooting list. Between SS, the Club's talent, and a TM or two, we'll get Mactiredearg back on the road again.

We'll let Mactiredearg "tell the rest of the story". :oops:

I think Jay at Saturn Surplus had parts for flame heaters at one time. If you can't find one, I wrapped mine up on the old Deuce with some good Scotch 33, didn't look too bad.

Mactiredearg and I had a wonderful day, more story line to follow. :beer:

Just a suggestion, turn the accessory switch on first, then open the bleeder screw. This way you're in control of the fuel flow, and you won't be shooting fuel all over until you get to the bleeder screw. Just my 2cents.

Are you torquing the bolts to spec?

You beat me to it Red!

Another item to keep in mind as you troubleshoot is the dimmer switch. I would check wiring, lamps, grounds, and voltages first though.

In the Resources Section there are TM's you can download to make you much more familiar with your equipment. :)

We have a Member in the MVCC that has a very nice Bobbed Deuce. PM me and I'll see if I can get you Guys in touch with one another.

What is that framework strapped to the 116?

After you get the lunette out, clean up all contact surfaces and threads with a wire bush and coat liberally with Never-Seize before re-installing. It will pop right out next time you want to remove it.

I remember reading here a few years back Aervoe OD paint was turning a nasty shade of pink after it had been applied and exposed to the sun for awhile. I haven't heard if they ever corrected this problem. Some others may chime in with more knowledge than I on that subject. Glad you found the...

The first thing that came to mind was: Download the proper TM for you new machine. Next was: Go completely through the fuel system, clean and change fuel, oil, and air filters, and tighten all fittings. And then: Inspect, and then inspect some more, and when you get done with that, inspect...

Google David Doyle, he has written a publication on proper paint numbers for that era. There has been many arguments on what is correct, and what is incorrect.

This TM may help you. Although it is not Vietnam Era, it may assist you in answering some of your questions.

Can't understand why someone would want to weld the lunette in place. That big nut and rust will keep it in there forever.
