    Cleaned HH and now won’t start

    Hey again fellas. I wanted to bounce something off of y’all. I had to have all of our possessions off our old property, including the deuce. I had algae all in the fuel system and it hadn’t run in a couple years. After replacing the tank and all of the filters, I removed the shutoff cover to...

    Stuck shutoff plunger

    Hey fellas! I would research this subject for hours or days if I had the time. I am closing on the sale of my farm TODAY and have another 3 days to get everything off the property. One of the last things left is my deuce. It hasn't ran in a couple years and I'm finishing up refreshing the fuel...

    To sell or slowly restore?

    Hey fellas! Long time no post. The family and I sold the farm and are moving in town for the benefit of my little boy starting school and living the family/parenting life and such. It has forced me to get the Deuce back up and going so I can move it to a family members property. The fuel tank...

    My oil filter upper gasket findings

    I've searched for hours for an aftermarket gasket that will work for the bolt/canister gasket on the oil filter cans. I changed my oil today and had the front can start pouring oil after reusing the old gasket. After the searching for hours on the forum the best I could find was "A small chain...

    In-tank fuel pump wiring

    Hey all! I've had a dead fuel pump that I think I bought from white owl. I accidentally left the power switch on which slowly killed the batteries. I think the pump slowly dying with the batteries burned it up. That's neither here nor there really. It's dead. I've ordered a new on from Olympic...

    What is the word on in-tank fuel pumps these days?

    He guy's. My duece has been dead for a little while since my in-tank pump died after I left the master switch on all night. The pump was nearly new (not olympic it was from White Owl.) I was draining the water and debris out of the primary filter housing with the switch on and forgot all about...

    In-tank fuel pump issues after 1 year

    Hey guy's, replaced my in-tank fuel pump with a new unit from a surplus supplier for like $380 last year. I accidentally left my acc. switch on the other night after I was sumping the primary filter bowl. I woke up the next morning and went out to start the truck to notice the switch was still...

    U6TL bomb

    For those of you I spoke with in the chat room last night about my batteries being possible bad. Well after charging all night I installed them and flipped on the acc switch. Right away I noticed the battery gauge was already in the yellow, I figured I'd try to crank it anyways. I hit the button...

    This battery disconnect stout enough?

    http://www.jcwhitney.com/wcsstore/jcwhitney/images/imagecache/G_16122G_CL_1.jpg Deuces is draining it's batteries over a week, just started doing that. I'm guessing maye the diodes in the alternator are bad or something which is causing the current draw. That switch is rated to 500A burst and...

    Hey guy's. I'm in Ocala at the time with my deuce and I've been seeing alot of MV's on the back of low boy's cruising around the past day or two. I'm getting my deuce ready for an event at the Market of Marion flea market, is anyone from the board attending? They say there's a trail ride and...

    Weird thing happened to my fuel pump.

    Hey guy's. I just got home for the weekend to take a break from training for the new job up in Atlanta (3 months long) and decided to drive the deuce around a little. I went to check the in-tank fuel pump and didn't hear anything. I thought, OH GREAT, either the pump is dead or batteries are...

    Differences in compressor pullies for M35

    Okay, I admit it. I used a bit too much force on my compressor pulley and broke one of the ears on the split off on the front part of my compressor pulley. So I ordered a new one off ebay. I tried to get the old one apart but it still wouldn't budge. Waited a couple weeks for it to come in and...

    How to fix inop outside door handles

    Hey guy's. I've seen several posts around regarding outside door handles not working. My passangers side handle on my deuce also did not work. Yesterday while letting the coolant cool down after a flush, I decided to fix it. The fix is easy, the hardest part is getting the mechanism in and out...

    Should I retard my timing with the turbo?

    Too late for that question because I already have. But I'm thinking about putting it back to 25 degrees after talking with a few people. The radiator is going back in soon and I want to have it right the first time. It's at 20 now and it would only take me 20 minutes to change back. I do...

    Thermostat stuck in housing

    Ive asked the question on how to remove the thermostat from the housing and all the answers I got say they just drop out or you may have to pry a little. Well, mine almost seems like it's pressed it. I've done all the prying I can stand without feeling like I'm about to snap the cast supports on...

    Compressor pullies are from the hot place

    I cannot remove the front part of the compressor wheel to remove the belt. I followed the TM as far as turning it CCW. I do not have a compressor wrench I just have a few pipe wrenches big enough to fit. I had 3-4' pipes on the wrenchs and it wouldn't budge. Finally one of the clamping ears...

    Deuce cooling system service...

    Well some of you may have seen my "losing coolant" thread. I went and borrowed a radiator pressure tester to come home to find it was too small. I decided to remove the radiator and take it to get cleaned and repaired. I started digging into the job by removing the brush gaurd, hoses, braces...

    Losing coolant

    Hey guy's. I'm guessing you should be able to see coolant at the neck of the top of the radiator. It appears that the level is going down. I keep refilling 1/4 gallon at a time and it still seems to seep it's way down. No visible leaks on the cooling system. I have a, what most say, minor oil...

    Door latch mechanism

    My passangers side door has never opened since I've owned the truck and that's become a priority to fix for me. The handle is in good shape, as is the reciever for it in the door. Nothing is rounded out or stripped. The handle just moves up and down against it's stops like it's not connected to...
