Anyone know someone to do mechanic work/diagnosis on a deuce in Oklahoma?

[trider]

I have a pretty bad fuel leak on my new deuce I got this week. With the holidays and work I do not have time to diagnose it or repair it and would like to find someone to take a look at it. The fuel is running down the frame and front axle and inner fender on the drivers side front. I know if you own a deuce you need to know how to work on them and I will learn once I have time. I am not a mechanical idiot but smart enough to realize my time is worth something and if I can pay someone to get it fixed while I am tied up it will be more than worth it. Thanks guys.

It sounds line the hose from the frame rail to the injector pump. They can be a trouble spot.

Can you post a picture of where the fuel leak is?

 

[trider]

Yes I will get pictures tomorrow as it is dark outside now and I am sitting down to watch the OSU vs. Baylor game. I will post pics tomorrow. GO POKES!!!!!

It should take less time to fix the hose, than watch a basketball game.

True but it's not always a hose.

DH it isn't basketball, it is ESPN Game Day with Saturday night football. Can't be workin' on no stickin' MVs.

 

[doghead]

Oh a soccer game, sorry...

 

[trider]

Warthog is correct. I'm an OSU graduate and can't miss the game but will post pictures tomorrow.

Im also sitting in my old mans chair and watching the game.

Meh, LSU's season is crap and the saints don't play till monday. Now if it will quit raining this wouldn't be a problem.

It was good to see LSU beat Johnny Football tonight though.

Ok I got out this morning to take some pictures of the leak. While under the truck trying to get pictures of the fuel leak I also noticed it appears I have a leak on the winch on the passenger side. Looks like maybe a drain plug for the fluid and its leaking around that. Also while under there I found a rusted spot on what appears to be the radiator which shocks be because they radiator hasn't been in there very long. I guess it was a rebuilt that with a fresh coat of paint looks good from the top. The radiator doesnt leak a drop but the rust concerns me. Also I have a small seep where the transmission and engine bolt together but it has only dropped one drip since Thursday and what MV doesn't leak a little fluid. The fuel leak is only when its running but I took it down the dirt road two days ago and it did not want to idle acted like it was starving for fuel which doesn't surprise me. Yall look at these pictures and give me feedback on the fuel leak and what other leaks/rust I should be concerned about. I want the truck mechanically sound before I do anything else to it. When it worms up more I will get under the truck on a creeper and check it over better. 28 degrees is too cold to stay out there on the cold floor very long. Thanks guys.

You need to look for the leak with the engine running. Judging by the stain pattern it isn't the rubber supply line under the IP.

That radiator looks like it has been in for a while to rust that bad. It is the bottom bracket and not part of the core. Wire brush and paint it with Rustoleum or a rust paint of your choice.

Clean your IP and then look for the leak source. Very hard to find a leak when it is that dirty.
