A quart of house brand chainsaw oil per about 20 gallons of fuel keeps my injector pump happy and the pump lets me know when the fuel gets too dry. Starts bogging and surging.
Anybody running marine two stroke in their Stanadyne?
Looking to buy cheap lubricity in bulk. Still haven't figured...

I had questions about the resolution to the leaf spring bushing situation, but there was never a follow-up.
Alright, folks. Talk to me like I'm a fool because I am. I got into my wheel wells for the first time, and the only 4x4 I ever owned before was a Suzuki Samurai. I did put some new brake pads and slide pins on my M1009 yesterday and it made all the difference, but it looks like the rotors are...
This sounds like a sponsored post or a promotion, but it isn't. I was all business for years and for all the times I've been on RockAuto's website, I never clicked the "Show Closeouts Only" button at the bottom of the Year/Make/Model/Engine menu, because it was extraneous to whatever task I was...

I had planned on installing a Fluidampr until it occurred to me that for the same budget, I could replace most of the rubber on my truck and get a conventional harmonic balancer as well.
Now that I've got the part in my hand, something occurs to me. I've seen some balancer failures in passenger...
Replacing lift pump. Stopped before removing the rear fastener because the pushrod was sprung against the diaphragm in the old pump and I didn't want the pressure to damage the threads. Rotated the crank pulley one half revolution. Removed pump. Pushrod is now seized against the engine block...
Engine runs fine. First and reverse normal. Intermittently shifted high. Attempted to adjust shift points at IP. No effect. Took it for some hard wheeling for the first time yesterday morning. It stopped shifting into third last night. Wouldn't shift at all this morning. I did not dismantle the...
I was a navy av mech 15 years ago. Gas mech of all flavors in between. Pretty limited experience with diesel, but it seems simpler. This vintage, anyway.
I used searchcraigslist.org to find this old boy. It gets 162 results for "M1009" right now as opposed to zero results locally. I'd recommend...
