I had the deuce down for a month or so and finally got a new T-case installed in it. So after I got it in and drove it around, I went back to normal routine. I filled up with my black fuel in the tank and proceeded to carry on... then I realized I hadnt changed the fuel filters in awhile after she started to hesitate... so went out to bleed filter bowls to make sure they were clear of gunk and what not... no in tank pump... crap
.... Checked power at top of tank and on pump side of fuse... good volts.... double crap![Banging Head aua aua](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_banghead_125.gif)
.... ok well she will still run with the IP pulling the fluid... So I change the filters and pressurize the fuel tank with air and open bleeder on top of secondarys and pushed fluid up then closed off bleeder and reset tank back to vent normally.. tried cranking and nothing... she turns over but no sputter or even a hint of starting.... I check IP to make sure that the cutoff rod is all the way in and it is. So I tried a gas soaked rag in the intake area and nothing. It is cold and icy here so I am charging the batts and put a couple halogen lights under the hood to warm up IP and intake area and try again later. It was suggested to use a propane torch without lighting it to put propane into the intake and try that. I am running 100% WMO so the intake heater is no good.. I have mine disconnected anyway!
Any other suggestions?
I would like to have the truck running today. I was asked to be ready in case I was needed to transport some people to the hospital that are on call since it is really icy here. I told them that I may or may not be able to help. But of course would love to use deuce in this way!!
