Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Rick quit adding all that stuff. It is a simple design keep it simple. In the Civil war they used horses and donkeys. and men walked or road a horse. In World war 1 they still used a lot of horses and men still walked a lot. World war 2 a lot of horses and the Jeep/big trucks /tanks many men still walked. In Korea horses and donkeys again. Along with Jeeps/big trucks/tanks and some helicopters many men still walked. Vietnam helicopters/ jeeps /tanks / big trucks and still many men walked. Then the CUCV came along to fill that gap of peace. It was a standard HD off the shelf truck with HD modifications to electrical and other minor changes to suit military use it served its purpose for what it was intended. Still men walking. Need I go on. I have quite an imagination on this subject. But everyone of the vehicles and horses and mules trucks and helicopters were cared for and maintained by a field manual that told you exactly how and when to maintain the equipment to keep it standard and reliable for its intended purpose. That made it easier for every GI that came in contact with that vehicle to maintain it and operate it for its intended purpose and application. The boy from Iowa maintained and repaired it the same way as the guy in Burma and Chosin Reservoir. It sure beats the pants off of walking and I still think that in its original form it is a very reliable vehicle. Once it is modified the sky is the limit to get help over the internet by asking a question without having a birds eye view and a schematic of everything you changed deleted and modified. I tried to answer your fast idle question to the best of my ability. Do you see where I am going with this? I am making humor with my long drawn out post. Don't take me serious and get angry. it is all in fun. But it works that way in every vehicle we manufacture. We have to say what screws go where and what color the wire is and where it goes so that when it comes time to fix it in Tinbuckto it can be done without a deciphering enigma machine to diagnose every possible scenario of failure. Make any sense? I guess not Peace man. I am going to bed. But this was in fun only. Don't take it any other way. i don't like walking as much anymore so I keep mine as is with no modifications. Same as my Cave man. Have a great day. I am a novice that loves the CUCV the way it was built. After that it is going down hill. I make any changes (MY MULE)they are bolt on and bolt off back to OEM design. That is the only way these vehicles will retain their value. How many have you tried to sell? I sold many and parted out even more. Most guys I deal with are looking for the real bare bones thing not a hacked up cut up beatnik wagon that has issues every week. Really do you know I am just having fun with some facts here?Also do yourself a favor and add a Mr gasket #1560 fuel psi gauge, will help with fuel pressure diagnosis.
Thank you Rick for your input, but I will stand my ground on adding gauges,fuel psi, oil psi and water temperature it's easy cheap and can help save a motor,especially if running a turbo.Rick quit adding all that stuff.

All in fun on my part. all in fun. Why not have fun its just a hobby. If I can't have fun at my hobby it is no longer a hobby it is work.
Chase them lines be thinking? What you think they thinking about? Thinking about wheeling in the mountains of south central Pennsylvania?Trace the feeder lines back to the tank. Make sure non have holes or any think from rust, rot, or rubbing something.
You could pull the line off the sending unit and put air into it and also try to get it to run off the can of fuel.I've checked, they only other way I've read to check is buy pumping pressure through a hole in a spare filler cap. Being that my tank has a leak, I don't think that will work until I swap in the new tank a sending unit.
Looking for a spare 3/8 hose now to hook up the the pump supply from the gas can
