M3 Scout Car

[WillWagner]

This truck has been a favorite of mine since I was a volunteer at the Museum. I have had the pleasure of doing brakes...a few times...seems when things sit, stuff goes south! I was able to figure out the issue it had with the transition form idle to any throttle, had a gasket that was made that had no bleed hole cut in it. Re did the fuel system to incorporate a manual shut off for the electric fuel pump so we can run it out of gas fully so the NASTY Ca. gas stops the yellow mold. Made lights work and a mess of other stuff. I have seen this go to other locations, Vet events, the Regan Library, local Vet events at the L.A. County Park in Arcadia multiple times. In a week it goes to Universal Studios as a display sponsored by the U.S. Army for a couple of days. I will get it there Thursday sometime and it will come home on the following Sunday.

Suggest you run 100LL avgas in your gas engine vehicles that are used infrequently.

Yeah, we have talked about that. It is a PITA to get on the airport now. StaBil and let the stuff run out of the carb, drain the fuel from the tank works for now.

2-stroke oil is the best fuel stabilizer you can get. Mix it up 50:1. Those old engines won't know the difference. Use the good synthetic stuff for dirt bikes, it's low ash.

Very nice looking Scout Car.
