1. anyways I just got my second deuce delivered, after getting it I noticed that it started a lot quicker than my first when cold, after doing a little research I decided to try and turn up the pump a little on deuce 1, I turned it up 2 flats on the adjuster nut, so like 1/3 turn, it now seems to fire right away, I was just wondering what you think, should I get a pyrometer, or should I be fine as it seems it was to low to begin with, truck also struggled on long hills before this adjustment, but I haven't tried any long hills since.

2. While looking over deuce #2, I found it had what I believe to be a cold weather kit, "canvas with plexiglass areas for the light to shine through", and as I don't plan on driving these in the winter I was wondering what this was worth, if anything, and whether it would be worth putting it on ebay, or just keeping it with my truck

Similiar question here. If I just hit the starter button it cranks but won't start. If I hold the "gas" pedal down about 1/3 it fires right up. I also don't seem to have much acceleration/power in 4th or 5th. We have a lot of steep hills here, seriously, and am wondering if I should turn up the pump a little?

I push the TM troubleshooting the 465 as offten as I can. This TM is like a simple tune up guide and will show you how to check boost at 1600 and 2400 rpm along with the fuel pressures to make the hp/tq. at stock settings.
