    Can't get the engine to idle

    The Deuce is also not a forgiving off road beast. It weighs 12,000 lbs so it needs every bit of traction the 6 wheels can provide. As soon as the ground gets soft or sandy, the operator is called upon to work on tire pressure to get optimal traction. The open diffs mean that, as soon as one...

    Can't get the engine to idle

    @davidm2232 I think you nailed it with "gotten used to it". It is all in what you are used to. There are people that daily drive the M35A2 and they (and their body) know what experience to expect and drive/plan accordingly. Is it do-able? As you demonstrated, sure it is! There also are 1001...

    Can't get the engine to idle

    Common wisdom is close to 1/4" of travel. If the bottom clip fell off, it may still move, but less, maybe 1/8 of an inch. Or not move at all. It can get stuck in the bore; people have used a wooden dowel and a hammer and gently tapped it loose. After that, you may want to check that the bottom...

    Can't get the engine to idle

    To check the plunger travel you need a wrench to take the hex plug out that sits in the top center of the hydraulic head, something to stick into the opening and rest on top of the plunger (I usually use a pencil; it's wood, doesn't mark anything). Then bump starter until pencil is at top dead...

    Can't get the engine to idle

    If it is bad, consider disconnecting the lines and using compressed air to blow them through, starting at the front, towards the tank. Don't want the gunk in your injection pump. Then off comes the tank for a good wash!

    https://www.chinahanji.com/01_hd90100.htm I bought mine directly from them. I am sure someone, one of the vendors, imports them, but don't know.

    As an added insult, the Chinese manufactured HH have an improved button and clip that are beefier, better made and seem much less prone to falling off.

    Can't get the engine to idle

    Depending on the clarity of your injector return lines, can you see air bubbles with the engine running? While I recommend following the decision trees in the manual, methinks air leaking into the fuel system is high on the list. Once fuel flow picks up at higher rpm the injection pump can...

    Can't get the engine to idle

    As for easy things to check: - sticky fuel shutoff at the injection pump. If it is fully stuck, engine won't start but if it hangs up a little, it may cut enough fuel to not let it idle properly. That is the lever behind the small lid on the side of the IP. - you said you changed the fuel...
