Jeepsinker,

As I understand you all had to replace the HH button to get Zev's truck to run.
Will these trucks run at all without the button? There's a near new HH on my IP.

I can get mine to run after shooting the flame heater to her and she will
run good but can not get her to start, hot or cold, even in warm weather, otherwise. Also,
will not idle very good unless 900 rpm +.

Thanks for your help,

Maybe check out this thread as a starting point: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?123904-Deuce-wont-start-without-ether
Maybe the "near-new" hydraulic head is not accurately timed: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?80138-No-idle-but-runs-at-1400

Orren, it would not run at all if your HH button had popped off. Sounds like you have something sticking in the pump, or someone got something installed a bit out of time when they were doing pump work on your truck. You may also just have really bad injectors, or really low compression. Real hard to say anything for sure without looking at it myself.
