    Cold start primer pump information

    No problem and yes it takes fuel out of the PT and pushes it through the atomizer. It sound like you are thinking but one thing you don't want to do is over load the intake with fuel as it could cause problems. If the hand pump is working but you have bad fuel lines from the tank to filter or...

    Cold start primer pump information

    Bad idea. Just fix the pump as it is a simple system. Pump, atomizer, glow plug. It is simple so keep it simple. 98g how would you get air to begin with out of the glad hand? The truck would not be running and it would more than likely be out of air and cold. Just fix the cold start system what...

    M923A2 Muffler repair/replace?

    The exhaust will seal without the one gasket that was placed on the bottom joint. If you look the bottom has a lip the goes into the muffler. I have replaced 3 mufflers so far and there was no sealing problem without the gasket. Believe the 10 cent gasket was bought and then they charge the...

    M35A2 Reusable... Primary Fuel Filter...?

    I know a lot of filters I have checked have had the canister parts put together wrong and some did not even having the #8 packing preform washer put back in. This washer or if there is not one I use a Oring instead to seal up the gap between the shaft and the cup washer #7. Two microns is...

    M35A2 Reusable... Primary Fuel Filter...?

    At least you are stepping down on each filter which I think is good.

    M35A2 Reusable... Primary Fuel Filter...?

    Do you feel it is the can or the filters. I have seen rusty cans and I clean them up with acid after removing all the oil that keeps the acid from cleaning the metal. I have had no problem with the cans as of yet and like the idea of a step down filter system. If you had all the same # micron...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Bobbed 818 Tachograph went bad so changed out to a whole Deuce dash. Easy and just had to change out the oil pressure gage as it was not a mechanical one.

    M35A2 Reusable... Primary Fuel Filter...?

    Don't know if you have spin on for the secondary and final but that primary spin on is a good call being a 14 micron then myself would run a secondary NAPA 3512 at 10 micron and the final NAPA 33540 at 6 micron.

    fuel shutoff

    You might be ok. As I said when the collar is working correct it will be on the bottom. If it is sticking and will not come down just spray some lube on it while the Head is in place. When installing the head we turn it upside down to check and if sticking we lube it till it moves free then...

    Don't Use Low Range Reverse with 939's? Here's Why !!

    The other thought would be also not to let something sit for a year. With the salt a sand used this can be a bad thing on the equipment. I also plowed for VDOT and would clean the trucks the best I could but that salt is a killer.

    fuel shutoff

    7 and 4 o'clock. When the fuel control is out of the head the collar in the head should move free up and down so it should be in the down position after install of the Head. So now you go to put the fuel control in the Head and the leaver should be close to the 4 o'clock position because the...

    Golf cart ramps

    Or get ride of the old folks golf cart and buy a 1000 cc side by side. Then you will not need long ramps and plenty ground clearance.

    Air horn woes

    I just had to do mine on the 809 series and it was the ground plate under the rubber/plastic cap. The plate that screws to the hub was corroded with a fine white coating. Wire brush and it is working again.

    Golf cart ramps

    Get a piece of string and tape it to the end of the bed where the tail gate is. Have someone stretch it out to the ground and keep going till you have a angle that looks like it will work well then add some. lol My guess your looking at close to 16 feet.

    Golf cart ramps

    Here are some folding ramps I bought to get my ATV into the back of my Silverado. They claim to hold 1200lbs but each ramp says 600 lbs. The tailgate is 3 feet high and the ramps just about 8 feet. I will tell you this it is still a hold your breath going up and cutting nails with your but...

    Official 2015 Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    I have two Alu. 5 step ladders that I will bring plus have some hand rail kits. To be honest the 101 trailer might be a little low. The 5 step seems to work correct on the trailers like the expandable van trailers or Exp.van trucks. Something that has a floor around upper chest seems to keep all...
