    My first MV- m109a3

    Update- New Pyro Meter in and running.-- What I see now... 3-400 degrees at idle 7-900 degrees at 55 mph level road 9-1000 degrees at 55 on 2-3% incline for brief periods. 1100 was the top so far for a couple of seconds under load and uphill. I might have to turn the fuel screw back a little...

    My first MV- m109a3

    Update- WOW! I've got the deuce licensed and insured (Thank you Geico!) so it's been on the road for a few days. She's a runner. Speedo hits 60-62 on the flats so with tire size change that should be 65-67mph. Not really smoking, so running that evil low sulfur stuff really works. Fixed...

    My first MV- m109a3

    Answered my own question. The reason the steering was "sticky" is because the steering box was completely drained. Much happier now with a quart of gear oil.

    My first MV- m109a3

    Thanks to some great advice and information from the site here, I have acquired a M109A3. I'm also going to give a big thank you to Mark Boyce out in Ogden where I picked it up from, took very good care of me and answered my 5000 newbie questions and it only cost me a case of beer. I'll miss...
