My former airforce M109a2 has decided to die. Thankfully it did so in my back yard. The last time I drove it was for the Aberdeen rally back in the middle of may I started it less then a half a dozen times after that. The last time it did start I had to free up the fuel cut by opening the cover and fiddling with it. Since then I tried to start it again and work on it by following the TM with no luck. I removed the fuel cut completly and cleaned and lubed it to no avail(I may have messed up its posistion). I thought I may have had a frozen plunger in the hydraluic head, so today, I charged up the batteries and removed the 3/4 inch top bolt on the HH and stuck a small drift pin in the hole and had soldier B push the start button. Fuel freely came through this hole and I could feel the drift pin move up an down with the plunger. Fuel will flow freely through this whole whether or not I have a the fuel cut engaged. When i put the bolt back in and had soldier B crank, nothing came out of the injector line, which I had removed at the injectors. I believe I screwed something up when I had a few weeks ago pulled the fuel cut out. Any ways I'm lost and starting to eye up my cutting torch lovingly.
