    Starts & Runs

    First stage of my recovery is complete. In my case 'starts and runs' meant started instantly and ran like a CHAMP. Half a tank of diesel. It had one bad wheel cylinder, so we towed it off base (bummer having a $200 tow bill over a $25 part, but I felt much better having it towed off base...

    Starts & Runs

    I (semi) recently won a bid on an M35. Currently just waiting for my EUC to clear (52 days and counting) so I can go pick it up. Like many folks mine had the ubitquitous and slightly encouraging 'Starts & runs' description. While doing my wait-research I've read many posts about the condition...
