Thank you --- I hate to admit this but I bought a high zoot and expensive movie camera a few months back and haven't got around to using it. Hopefully I'll get into it soon as I'd like to do some streaming video not only for utube but also for the website.
Thanks again.
Thanks for all the input everyone.
The members on this site are a real asset! :D
I felt kind of bad for not getting back (thanking everybody) immediately but winter is coming and I've been taking boats out of the water.
As bad as I hate to, I'm going to drop the starter before the weather...
Before buying a deuce to be used as a daily driver run the rack on insurance.
Every insurance company I've talked to about insurance demanded that I have a daily driver and have insurance on same. Collector insurance policies vary in their restrictions but they all require you to own and have...
I've got a situation with my Deuce that is worrying the he!! out of me.
Every once in a while when I push the starter switch I can hear the starter engage but it doesn't rotate the engine. Usually the problem only happens once but there have been a couple of times that it's happened two times...

My standard LDT deuce j-pipe bolted right up --- no problems. As previously mentioned, my LDS came with a "D" turbo fo everything fit on the standard deuce exhaust. I don't know if the same applies to an engine that is equipped with a earlier waste-gate turbo.
When we...
When an LDS is installed on a deuce the starter would be on the right (passenge's) side --- same as an LDT. The LDS applied to a 5-ton has a different bellhousing and therefore the starter on the drivers side. The oil pan is turned around, LDT pan plumbing installed, and the dip stick tube...
Though I don't build 'em I have to agree with Offroadworks.
I made a 60 mile round trip from Orr MN to Crane Lake today and it was a pure joy. I put the tach at 2K and listened to symphoiny coming from the fire deck. Every once in a while, on a grade, the turbo would decide to whistle for a...

Try this link. This shows the first two mounting modifications but not the third and final mount. It's on a post somewhere but I can't find it.

I recently installed two fuel pressure gauges. One reads between the in-tank pump and the primary filter. The other reads immediately after the primay filter.
The pre-primary filter pressure is 6 PSI. Post primary filter pressure is just a little over 5 PSI.
Yesterday we swapped the stock "D" turbo on my bobbed LDS duece for a standard "C" whistler.
Yes --- I know --- the "D" is a superior turbo BUT --- the sound of the whistler adds sooo much to the character and personality of a deuce.
I couldn't tell any difference performance wise between...
On a "controlled" test with my bobbed deuce running an LDT-D engine at around 2,000 RPM w/395-85R-20s, spin out hubs, no fan and no canvas got a little over 12 MPG.
I fueled in Cook MN and drove to Inernational Falls MN and back. The total round trip of 140 miles involves two stop lights ---...
All the FDC does is compensate for different fuels so the same amount of pedal can be used with different fuels.
My fuel guage lies. Last winter I ran out of fuel with just a little under 1/4 tank showing on the guage.

Yes, this is true. However, if you've got an air leak anywhere in the system they can be extremely hard to start.
I have an air leak that I haven't been able to locate. Instead of cranking for 30 seconds in the morning I press the tequila sunrise (ether button). Once...
