OK I removed the center bolt on the HH today. Had my neighbor crank the engine while I held the chopstick on top of the cylinder in the center of the hole. When we turned on the power switch we got a lot of diesel coming out of the opening where we had the chopstick. When he cranked the...

I got behind posting pictures. Here are some of the floor after applying truck bed liner paint. Taken in September 2013.. I'll take some more soon. Need to paint the hatch cover to the tranny and Drill some holes for the hold down bolts that secure the hatch cover.

Welcome to the site from soggy Slidell. Hope to see you at the rally.

The red paint was gone on the surplus HH I have. Is the line vertical or Horizontal?

The weather has not been cooperating for opening the bolt on the HH. I did dig up the old IP I had and did a practice run. I got the bolt remover and was able to see what was in the hole. I also attempted to take the HH off. I learn one thing. If you don't have the gear set right the HH...

You have been great at giving clear instructions as well as excellent photos. I will test out the plunger movement as soon as weather permits. I will keep you guys updated on the progress.

Thank you for your confidence in my mechanical skills. I keep thinking back a few years ago when John Lambert tried to repair/replace an IP in his Deuce. Had a couple of mechanics trying to install a new IP. Ended up installing it off-timing and that resulted in all kinds of headaches. I...

Kinda of a long trip for Gimpy. Would love to have Gimpy work on some of my MVs. I might even learn something. I was hoping for someone local so the travel expense would not kill me.

I had my neighbor help me yesterday -so he sprayed once I started cranking. I will try to test the plunger on the HH when it stops raining AGAIN! It might be Thursday before we get a break in the weather. I hope I don't have to get into the HH. May need to import a SteelSoldiers member to...

You know this is getting beyond my comfort zone as far as mechanical work. I am comfortable taking the bolt out and checking the plunger. I might need more expert help if it requires digging into the IP. (I don't want to pull thinga apart and have parts falling into the dirt where I cannot...

Is the center bolt the one between all the injector lines?

Well I went out there and removed the cover as directed. The lever seems to be moving back and forth as it should. Had the Deuce tied into the M931 with Nato Cable to give it more cranking power. Still no Diesel coming out of the injector lines. Plenty of Diesel coming out in front and back...

On my truck it did run shortly on the ether. But I sprayed the ether into the mushroom cap -so by the time I was able to crank there was not much left for the engine to use. From what I could see no diesel was making to the injectors.

Can you suggest any search phrases?

Thanks. I owe you some beer if you are ever down this neck of the woods.

Nice pictures there Gimp. I will check it out tomorrow weather permitting. So you think the lever is stuck internally and not letting the fuel flow? I was moving the external plunger in and out without any problem.

Hey Gimp you got any pictures of that area of the IP? i want to make sure we are talking about the the same cover. What should I be looking for that might be stuck and not letting the fuel flow?

Is the cover on the side of the IP where the plunger moves in and out? I know the rod goes in and out of the housing there. i am not sure what it looks like inside. Are there any parts that can fall out when I remove that side cover?

Except for low batteries I never had problems starting my M109 before. When I got it a few years ago it had a new engine in it. I have upgraded all the filters to spin-ons. Today I decided to move the truck from where I parked it in the beginning of the Winter season. I had the charger on...
