FLU Junkie here from Phoenix, I have bought several FLU's and an HMMH.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yeah, but how many of them did you sell? Ah, what the heck, you're welcome either way.I have bought several FLU's and an HMMH.
Perfect, then please tell me what's going on (or more correctly, not going on) with the fuel delivery system on my SEE....I have sorted through many of the issues people are discussing. Hopefully I can help some people with the knowledge I have gained...
Welcome back. The auger is the tool that we´r missing in our collection. Post some pics so we can at least have a look on it.I have not logged on to Steel Soldiers in a while and just reading the thread made my laugh because I have sorted through many of the issues people are discussing. Hopefully I can help some people with the knowledge I have gained and learn a thing or two my self. I have quite the collection of parts and hydraulic tools (impacts, jackhammers, rotary drills, chainsaws, auger) if anyone is interested also. I have been a long time military truck enthusiast and own a M35a2 and 923a1.
Plumbing in the electrical pump was my way of pressurizing the system. It's a low pressure pump (3 psi, or so) but that should still be enough to force fuel out, rather than air getting in.It sounds like air is definitely getting into the system somewhere. It sounds like it could be the gaskets of the filter cups or a small pinhole in the line somewhere. You may try and pressurize the tank through the breather and spray soapy water. I had the smallest hole in one of the lines that was not noticeable at all and did not drip fuel, replaced the line and have not had a problem since.
I haven't done it yet (but probably should), its a standard hydraulic brake system, it just uses compressed air in place a vacuum in the brake booster. I have seen suggestions that a pressure bleeder is the way to go rather than the old fashioned way of someone opening the bleeder screw then having another person push down on the pedal, then the bleeder screw is closed and the pedal is let up, repeat many times on each bleeder until there are no bubbles.Does anyone know how to bleed the brake system on the FLU419?
The magnet sticks, so it's not stainless. But it's definitely not painted either, so it must have been replaced previously.The official cross body air line repair is stainless so put a magnet on it. If it isn't magnetic its probably stainless.
Welcome to the groupFLU Junkie here from Phoenix, I have bought several FLU's and an HMMH.
I had a very good experience using simp5782. He has a good working relationship with the folks running the yards down there, and has hauled quite a few FLUs. He is out of TN and is pretty quick to reply if you message him.Greetings everyone,
I am planning to get a FLU419 out of Texarkana. It has to go to either Asheville, NC or to Elkton, MD.
Does anyone have any leads for someone who could transport the FLU419 at reasonable cost?
Thanks.
Pressure feed is the best, I do it with my air powered Mite-Vac. Follow the list 1 thru 9 one at a time and keep adding fluid.Does anyone know how to bleed the brake system on the FLU419?
Use only silicon based brake fluid. DOT5 silicon.Does anyone know how to bleed the brake system on the FLU419?
