    Just ordered two new oil filters, cartridge type, from Saturn Surplus for $4.50 each today. Really hard to get the filter out because of all the stuff that is in the way. Love to have the spin on filter but my trailer had the old style and I guess I'll just have to live with it! I love how...

    Mine is a firect drive also. You have a great idea though - I might loosten the belts next time I run the motor up because I really think it needs to run for a while after sitting for God knows how long. I also have to hook up an air line that someone disconnected which goes up by the motor...

Thanks for the lead about the alcohol injector by the way - I'll fill mine before I use it on my deuce. All the rain we have had here in Florida this month...

    Thanks for the tips on locating the spark plugs and the fuel pump. I'll give them a shout today. Still need to get some way of removing the plugs right now. There must be a special socket for that purpose. I know there are plumber's sockets that have the reach so I am thinking about trying...

    That's a nice trailer you have there! I can get mine to run but have to work more on the carburetor which I know is my main problem that causes hard starting and rough idle. I wanted to pull the plugs today but did not have the proper plug socket to work with the waterproof military spark...

    Speddmon, glad to hear your unit fired up! I am still working on mine which is very stubborn - wants to start but only does so when I prime the carburetor through the air intake. I have been using ethanol free fuel for the motor which is available locally (at least for now). I did pull the...
