I searched and searched, and yes, there is one. Probably fairly useless without a tire chain, though. Could not find one in the correct size.

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

https://www.slipnottraction.com/ Bicycle tire chains. Their lawyers don't like it when they sell to unicyclists though.I searched and searched, and yes, there is one. Probably fairly useless without a tire chain, though. Could not find one in the correct size.
I was going to warn you anthkey...don't get him started on that subject....Then you'd really like it if using some real lubrication.
An FYI on the throttle linkage, there was a good number of SEEs out of Texarkana that had the linkage froze up when they were pulled out of the weeds to be put up for auction. The throttles were manually forced in attempt to free them up, resulting with units with bent and distorted linkage. Unfortunately, one of my SEEs was subject to that abuse. I used spray lubricant and let it absorb about 15 minutes and the linkage freed up. Bending all the components back to their original shape was a little more aggravating and time consuming. I would have donated a case of WD40 to the GP Texarkana folks if it would have prevented the undesirable outcome![]()
Doh! I only looked for unicycle chains, not for bicycles.https://www.slipnottraction.com/ Bicycle tire chains. Their lawyers don't like it when they sell to unicyclists though.

Since the slipnottraction ones are only sold in pairs, I suppose General Hood and I could split a set.
Yeah, really. While I understand that they have released new kinds that may actually work, I haven't tried those yet.I was going to warn you anthkey...don't get him started on that subject....
Did you try blowing compressed air backwards, from the strainer into the tank? You should get bubbles audible from the tank.Will not bleed, so I'm guessing that fuel is not even flowing freely to the primer pump.
Good luck, and let us know what you find. My fuel system was so clogged I had to do some heavy duty cleaning from fuel tank up past the double filters. It looked like the gov tried running my SEE off some radioactive waste in the pastI had to close up for the day. Will hopefully get to the strainer (not sieve, wrong word) tomorrow. I am wondering whether I will be able to get the fuel lines on/off those barbs, since I don't have the one-sided fitting, like most. The valve is stuck open.
If you go back in this thread long enough you will come up with my diagnostic method which is outboard motor tank with a squeeze bulb on the fuel line. I sat mine on the passenger seat and used that to diagnose the system. Do keep in mind that fuel will still be returned to the main tank but you can run for hours off the boat tank. I could run the truck off of gravity and the squeeze bulb but I don't think I ever bypassed the fuel pump.After that, I think I may try a small tank gravity feeding the filters directly.
I hate boats, so I'm stubbornly ignoring peakbagger's advice (in this case). But I'm not too proud to use an electric fuel pump instead.I may be giving my local marine shops a call tomorrow.
