    M109A3 Idling bad

    I DID NOT post the use of USED MOTOR oil. I said NEW motor oil. Never ever never put crankcase oil from a DIESEL engine into a diesel fuel tank. Even with a centrifuge and 87 ways to make it good you will still be wiping out the hand lapped surfaces of the rotating plunger in the HH. One CAN NOT...

    M109A3 Idling bad

    I want you to know that the multi-fuel will run just fine on 100% new motor oil. I recommend 40-50% with "new" diesel fuel. One is not allowed to toss containers in the trash with residual oil in them so I made a container drain for my mechanic and I get all the new container drained motor oil...

    M109A3 Idling bad

    Do not put 100% "new flavor" pump diesel fuel in it Thing needs to run with a load on it at 1800 RPM. Put homemade Seafoam in it or buy some commercial stuff but use it. Put a couple of quarts of straight motor oil, cheapest new stuff you can get, into the fuel tank. The "new" diesel fuel is...

    Fuel cap hole?

    Hole is useful for recirculating fuel thru a filter. Just put a pipe plug in it and/or build a real fuel filter for it.

    Fuel filters or lack thereof and stalling.

    Could goto HD and get some toluene, an ounce for 10 gallons, at 120 octane and some Naptha and a gallon of new good old 30 W motor oil, dump it in the tank and run truck all over at 1800rpm, see if it begins to clear up. After the new filters. Worth a try, cheap, can't hurt. It like Seafoam...

    Fuel filters or lack thereof and stalling.

    So there was not the stalling problem before you filled up the fuel tanks. No note of which filters were not replaced leaving empty cans. If the filter canisters were cleaned out then no bad stuff would get to the booster pump and HH. We are trying to protect the lapped finish within the HH...

    Brake booster vent line question

    Master cylinder must be vented to somewhere, even right at the cap even. I vented mine to the dashboard, but that is another story. If it is NOT vented then that MC will fail in short order. and..Yes the vent for the MC WAS tyed into the vent for the fuel system by original design on M35A2.

    Master Cyl Source

    I did read someplace that the dual master cylinder rebuild would normally just need replacements of the o-rings. rustystud and/or many others may chime in here if that is true.
