    Winter is coming... Ether start questions!

    Myself I would just go to a auto parts store and buy a starting fluid stand in the door and give a quick shot right in the intake that is right there.

    Repairing the Deuce M35A2 Injection Pump

    Just to get on the same page. The quill shaft / small gear thingy in the IP turns the plunger drive gear on the head. We talked about this last time we do not worry about where the four bolt advance window pointer is or the harmonic balancer is when we remove the head. We just line up the head...

    M35A2 runaway problem

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Got one bank of the LED's in and got lucky I used my old tombstones just had to shunt them. Think I will do the other outer bank and see how well lit the trailer is as I might get away with just two banks and leave the two inner banks alone. Four banks of LED's would be a operating room bright.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Guess I did something right because we got light. Some of the trailers I have have the old style ballast resistors and I guess I have some bad ones. Think I will rewire the fixtures for LED and get rid of those ballast resistors. My father would be proud so far.

    1971 M35A2C Multifuel starting issue

    If you have had time to look over the Trouble shooting manual let start off with the easy. Is your FDC bypassed? Yes we can get air in the system and it starts with the rubber line that is on the in tank pump. If you have some pressure at the bleed screw when you open it myself I do not put a...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Drilled two holes so I could use my better ladder. Started in on removing the three phase in coming power supply so I can go to single phase. This trailer had DC and 400 HZ power inside. For right now I just want to get the lights up and running so I will go 30 amp power in. Was thinking best...
