    M923 Hard to start on any slight incline

    On the bottom it takes a simple pipe thread drain cock. Any parts store or hardware would have it. I would put one back in as I wonder it that can be a source of the air to get in as it seals on the bottom. The primer pump has 2 simple o rings that are easily obtained anywhere. I am not sure...

    M923 Hard to start on any slight incline

    I would be very curious as to what you find as i have the same exact scenario. I took my truck to my boy scout camp and it is parked tail end down a slope , nose high, and now won't start. I am thinking the fuel level is at an angle below the pick up tube and sucked in air. I am going back...
