    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    TM = Technical Manuals. There is some at the cover page of Steel Soldiers and some in the Deuce forum. I like the Trouble shooting the LDS-465-1 multifuel engine. Then there is the Tm 9-2910-226-34 here on the board.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    If you have two hole injectors myself I would just have those cleaned / checked. If you need new tips # NBM771038 then search the jbay auction sight and pick up just the new tips and pins and have them set for 3200psi. I just ordered 6 tips / pins myself just to have.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    I don't know how good those numbers will be as the printing was 1968 but I do have my numbers for the newer AMBAC injector tip. My two hole tip is marked Italy 12-91 and NBM770138.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    Just for smitts and giggles I took my two hole AMBAC injector apart. Just have to watch the parts order and if you tip it upside down parts will fall out. First tip holder then tip. Then what I am calling the alinement disc and it goes in with the beveled edge facing the tip and locks in with...

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    Here is a pic with AMBAC numbers for my two hole injector. Would be interesting if the numbers match for the single hole you guys got just a tip change. Per the TM looks like the only difference would be how they are adjusted. One with shims the other with pressure adjusting screw. Only see two...

    M543a2 blew a fuel line. Can't figure out how to access it

    This is the only sight that had the most info. Looks like there Synflex fuel line is made for real high pressures in the thousands of pounds where we have just 70 pounds. The truck came with nylon line and I would bet the newer Synflex air line is even a better than are old stuff. One would...

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    The engine was designed to be a multi fuel with a single hole injector but some where along the line they must have felt that the two hole was better. You could run the single hole and not notice any difference in performance or mileage. As for a better burn with the two hole I would not know...

    Grease on brake pads

    Might want to check the grease slinger that is bolted to the inside ofthe hub. There are slots that get plugged up and not allow the grease to sling out on the outside of the hub but instead get on the shoes.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    I thought that also but all I could find in the TM's was about the calibration. One would think you would get better atomization with two holes and more fuel oil on the piston cup walls. Do what ever you think is right your truck.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    Do believe it is more of a calibration thing per what pump you might have. I will stick with what comes out so if it has two holes I will replace with two holes as per TM.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    Are they single hole or double. Might have to save your old two hole tips.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    After the run the Ga. rally the hubs were running hot. I am checking preload and topping off with Lucas hub oil on the M372A2.

    M543a2 blew a fuel line. Can't figure out how to access it

    That's what I use air line and a push lock Synflex fitting just about the same that was on there. Easy to hook up in a tight area. Also I don't use hose clamps with barb fittings as it can cut into the line.

    M543a2 blew a fuel line. Can't figure out how to access it

    I think Synflex would have been a better choice.

    Symptom: engine running fine, losing power for a few seconds, then running fine

    Check the fuel control for the free movement. Motor not running should be a around 7o clock and with finger it should easy move to about 4 o clock then snap back to 7 when you let go. If you were driving and you took you foot off the fuel peddle and the fuel control assembly stuck in the idle...

    Symptom: engine running fine, losing power for a few seconds, then running fine

    The in tank can have power and sound like it is working but the only way to tell is it making pressure. So light no gage yes. The truck will run without the in tank making pressure but if there is a hole in the pump tank line yes it could let in air. The governor is oiled bathed not fuel bathed...

    breaking free stuck lug nuts

    The only problem I have with the 1" at my age is it's weight and I make my son do the tires when he is around. On the road a four way or torque multiplier is the way to go. Then there is the phone to the road service and we just sit and watch someone else work for a price. I will say my four way...

    breaking free stuck lug nuts

    The new 2767 if you read right up about them they say if rusted or bad corrosion you might still need to get out the air powered bad boys. Looks nice but for 400 bucks I will fire up the compressor when at home or if just one tire in the field I will use my truck four way and the cheater bar.
