I had a 1984 K10 with a 305 in it and I broke mechanical fuel pumps left and right. I finally put in a electric pump but had problems with that, I thought. That was later tracked down to a distributor issue. The issue with the mechanical pumps was that the push rod itself was the problem...

I think it really depends on your location also. Here in NE Iowa I had mine on Craigs, advertised locally and word of mouth. After a month I only had one person call on it. It was a 1009, had some rust on it, had newer tires, been my daily driver, all the improvements recommended here done...

I have mine thru Farm Bureau Ins in here Iowa. Was in your city a few weeks ago on vacation visiting friends.

Thanks for the clarification.

A quick question. If you watch Antennaclimbers video in the GP Operation sticky. You see the wait light go out, he hits the switch to simulate starting the rig. If you look at the gp's they show power still being supplied during the start cycle. I have a voltmeter on the load side of my gp...

Try turning the motor over by hand with a bar and a 15/16" socket. Mine will do the same thing once in awhile but I've got the bracket in place. I don't know why it does it, only that it does it at the worst possible time. Maybe that will get you going for now.

If it's getting to the engaged position shouldn't it be turning the motor?

I'm in the same place. I let one of my boys use it one night. I got a call to tell me it was dead. I hadn't told him about the issue and he ended up killing the front battery. So we crawled under her, rolled it an 1/8 turn and heard the starter click back. Hooked up the jumper cables to the...

My 1986 09 does the same thing. I've had the unit for about three years and it's done it since day one. I've done searches on here but haven't found anybody with the same problem. In a sick way I'm happy to see somebody else has this issue. I've checked the flywheel, (teeth all there, bolts...

My 09 did this awhile back. What happened was the throttle cable started to fray at the IP. I see you say you already checked it. I had looked at mine it but it wasn't noticeable right away. It started out just taking a split second longer to slow down when you took your foot off the...

Yeah, snap-crackle-pop.............BANG!!!!! Followed by clunk-grind-clunk-grind-clunk.........rattle, rattle rattle........... As you roll to a stop along the highway. Sigh.

As I said earlier I had the Bosch plugs in for about a year. Long story short, I pulled them out, found 1 operational. Put in the 60G's again, because they were on hand in the area. Through another thread figured out that my glow plug card is giving me a fit. It's been operating that way...

An update on my 09. I was having longer start-ups than I was happy with so I decided to replace the plugs with 60g’s. The Bosch’s were a couple of years old so I thought it wouldn’t hurt anything. I had checked the resistance of the plugs in the motor a month or so ago and they tested between...

I installed a voltmeter, 12v, on the output of my gpr so I could monitor the voltages. I have done the resistor bypass so it's just the 12 volts supplying the relay. I saw that I was only getting about 9-10 volts at the turn of the key. As seconds passed the voltage would increase to just...
