Thanks, Ken. I appreciate it.

I'm getting ready to do a full restore on my 71 Deuce. I figure it is going to take a couple of years, so the truck will be off the road for all of that time. Is there a way that I can "suspend" my insurance while the restoration is done? I would like to be able to use my current license...

How does this affect vehicles registered years ago? I got my Deuce in 2010 and have not received any notices. LC

Hi everyone: Just happened to see this on the news. Don't know how you all feel about this, but the Panther G is a very rare beast. This thing looks to be in nearly mint condition. It would be a shame for them to cut it up. Not even sure why it was confiscated, the guy had been driving it...

PM sent to you. LC

That's what has been going on with mine. I have to keep mashing on it hard and eventually it will get juice to the starter. I'm pretty sure I've seen Deuces with the Caterpillar type toggle switch, I wonder if there is a source out there? LC

Thanks, didn't know that. I will look into it. LC

I thought using a higher amp fuse was not a wise thing to do, particularly with the fuel system components? I may just replace the entire fuel tank and pump if I can find a decent used one. I've had to repair several pinholes in the tank, and now it looks like the fuel pump might be going out...

In tank. Just fixed it. Not the pump, just my post. :-D LC

Well, a few more issues to deal with. Intank fuel pump wasn't coming on, sure enough the 2 amp fuse had blown. Replaced that, and the pump comes on, but it is not sending fuel downstream. Bled the fuel filters but still no dice. Getting too dark to work on now, gonna have to resume next...

Is this a very complicated or difficult task? I'm a decent shadetree mechanic but it's cold and I'll be working outside. Just wondering if I'm gonna get myself into something I can't finish. ETA: Yes, I read a thread on here about testing the switch, it seems to be good, my meter beeps at me...

Hi everyone: Been a while since I've been on here, and I have tried searching the site and my TMs for answers, but can't find them. First, there is a fitting near the intank fuel pump on top of the fuel tank, that a very small diameter copper line goes to. It is right next to the fuel pump...

KE5KMR here. LC

Not "to" but "with"my Deuce. The Deuce makes an excellent large flat platform when you need to do trim work on the home. I had to replace some weathered roof facing and some of the planking that forms the eaves of my home this weekend. Also makes a great ladder for trimming branches off my...

Love those tires. Need to get some for mine. You did say they were 11.00's?? LC
