I had exactly the same symptoms with my A3. I am in agreement with the other posts on the checkvalve in the elbow on top of the tank. However, be very careful taking it apart. You need two wrenches, as the assembly is somewhat fragile and you can twist it off very easily. I replaced the filter...

I let Rambling Wreck (M35A3) know about the 57th Fighter Group, but I haven't heard back as to whether he is interested in going. I believe he is in Cobb County, but I'm not positive where.

I'm a lot further East than that. I live east of Hiawassee towards Clayton. I'll drive to GA-365 and on to I-985. Meeting up in Buford would work great for me, just let me know where. If I head west and link up with tmnt, it will add around an hour to my drive.

I would check out the timing chain to see if it has broken or jumped some teeth. If you have good spark and nothing happens with ether, there has got to be something wrong with the timing chain or valve train.

I think you definitely need to pull the transmission. When you do, I would go ahead and replace the clutch and pressureplate even if they look good since the parts are cheap and you will already have expended the labor. I'm suspecting broken fingers on the pressure plate.

Ditto on a better explanation. Are you saying that when you start out in first that you have a normal clutch pedal, but when you subsequently shift, the pedal then goes to the floor? Did this happen only one time and now your pedal always goes to the floor or are you saying that every time you...

You've done a great service to everyone on this site documenting this issue. You have likely saved some people time and expense regarding the perils of running out of fuel and how it can damage the HH if the engine isn't shut down immediately. :beer:

Autopsy of the Old Priority Valve Tonight, I decided to open up the old priority valve I removed from my A3. Removing the four corroded metric hex-head screws was straightforward. As you can see from the photos, the cause of the failure was evident. The valve body, plate, spring, etc. were all...

I do intend to dismantle it, but I haven't done so yet. I did look in both open ports and it appears to be spotlessly clean inside. I half expected to see a lot of crud or goo in it. Dismantling should be easy as I think there are only four screws holdig it together. I'll post the results.

Definitely been there awhile!

Moving the unit back on the trailer and additionally placing a large fuel reserve on the trailer will drastically change your center of gravity. For instance, if you move the unit back and have a full drum of fuel on the front, you are probably OK, until the fuel in the drum drops enough to...

I think you are correct. When I was in the Army I ran a deuce out of fuel a few times and there were never any other issues, just added more fuel. However, I was off-road and going slow with minimal RPMs, and that is likely why there was no damage, as previously mentioned. Along those same...

I don't know what other MVs use this part, but I would suspect the trucks with air assisted steering probably would.

I finally got around to replacing the priority valve on my M35A3. This procedure is not in the TMs, but it is straightforward. I was tired of banging on the priority valve with a hammer prior to driving to get the valve to release so that air pressure would build up. The purpose of the...

That was a great piece of work. Thanks for putting that video together.

When I have confusing difficulties like you are having, I always start at the beginning. I would drain and clean the fuel tank and discard the fuel or save it for later filterning. Add Fresh diesel, no WMO. I would then replace the in-tank hose. I would remove the primary and secondaryfilters...

Either place sounds like a good place to meet for me as I will be going right through that area. This sounds like it will be a good time with a lot of vehicles.

I'm a lot further east than you. I'll be heading down SR75 through Helen and Cleveland and on down US129to Gainesville and on down I-985. Thanks for the offer.

I'll be driving one of my deuces down from Hiawassee if anyone wants to convoy to the 57th Fighter Group that's coming in from the north. The convoy will be one way because I'll be heading off after the restaurant before I return home later that night.

You can normally hear the fan engage over the sound of the engine. I never have mine engage while driving, but if the truck sits and idles for a few minutes after warm, the fan will engage.
