1971 M35A2 injector problems

[mikenpa]

Hi Folks,
i took my deuce out for a drive this weekend and after getting back home, I let it idle for about 10 minutes, when I came back out it was missing real with puffs of white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe!
How do you check out if I have a sticking injector, or did a head gasket go away?
Any thoughts would be great

1971 M35a2 injector problems

I have had good luck with the product Hot Shot secret. I used it as a preventative measure, to get rid of sticktion on injectors and turbo. You can find out more at hotshotsecret.com. I used it on my 3 M35a2, all are 71 AM Generals.

Should be able to feel each injector with your hand and 1 or more of them will feel different than the other (clicking versus no clicking). If you had a laser thermometer you could shoot the exhaust manifold at each port and it will tell which piston isn't firing due to temp difference.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the ideas! I was real tired last night as the M35A2 is a 1972 AM General!
Here is a photo of it and my M-105 Trailer when I was at Ft Stevens Or this August!
I will check out the truck this weekend!
