Finally got the Deuce home last night at around 9PM,,, Started work on it about 4 PM about 50 miles away, Wanted to at least get three new fuel filters in it as well as grease all the U joints and suspension parts.
Filter service went great until we discovered that the new seals would not fit,,,
AFTER 5PM,,,, When all the good parts houses were closed!
Ended up reusing the old seals, Thank goodness no leaks!
I had driven her twice before, Once around the block and then about 10 miles to a gravel pit and back.( Yes we had fun in the gravel pit.
)
Anyway, No issues getting it home.
Today about all I did to it today was cleaned the air compressor filter and drained a gallon of oil and replaced it with Lucas.
So,,, Checking it out good today these are the things that are first on my to do list.
Spin on filters.
Complete fluid change.
Clean off the outside of the IP and see if I can find a slow leak.
It's wet up around where the throttle and kill levers go into the body.
Going to check/tighten/replace the lines first and se it that doesn't fix the leaking problem.
Hoping it's just a bad line, After it sits overnight I have to crank it a bit before it catches, Then it acts like it lost fuel prime for about 10 to 12 second and the straightens up and runs good so I am thinking just a leak somewhere.
In tank pump is putting out fuel so it's not that
It looks like SOMBODY used a brake line to route air to the front axle engage lever, That's gotta go, Leaks air pretty good.
Replace the wiring harness. Found some age/ozone cracked wires, Better safe than sorry.
Repair or replace the cab cover, Thinking about having one custom made so just the top is covered and the back is open, Love the rear visibility without the top on,,,
Anyway, Here is a pic of my new time/money eater at home,,,,
