    gas mileage

    topgun217, have seen many post mpg #'s in 18-22 range. You have stated you are realizing from 26-28 mpg. What are you filling with? Some kind of blend? Going off simple math and probably not very accurate Odometer. Best I am seeing is between 14-16 mpg. More city than freeway driving...

    Trouble with pintle removal.

    Much sweat on a Fall Day, 5' Pry bar, pipe wrench and lots of lube whilst rotating back and forth. Put dual purpose pintle/ball combo in its place. Nice mod for me. Looks pretty good also. Six pack later and winded. Good to go. :beer:

    M1009 injection timing

    Have read of advancing without such aids. Spoken only in advancing minute increments from factory on center. Three bolts hold in position on top of manifold. Avoid such a adjustment like plague I gather?

    What color should the front locker tabs be?

    Mine are marked red both sides in free position. Always thought it was original marking from manufacturer? So much for that theory.:cookoo: Suppose I will stick with red in free markings unless someone states otherwise.

    M1009 injection timing

    Have noticed that some have advanced injection timing to increase Horse Power and gain fuel economy. Was going to try this weekend. Which direction do I move mobile indicator vs. stationary? The other question I have is optimum distance on advancement. Read somewhere that 4 mm is the not to...
