Thanks guys, yeah, common-sense was telling me "this just doesn't feel and seem right". Now to see if I can back them out without snapping off, always seems to be something that complicates an easy process.

I have a concern about snapping off the screws for the hold down clamp. On page 5-187 of TM 9-2815-210-34-2-2, the instructions state to tighten the screws to 150 to 175 pound-feet. That seems like an awful lot and I would take a real chance on breaking the screws off. Is "pound-feet" correct...

FYI Update - ordered the parts today from the Parker distributor in town. The Tee's, 172HD-4-2 were $26.58 a piece, a surprise but not a shock. The Nut, 61HD-4 were $11.20 for a box of ten. Should get them in about a week. Thanks a lot to everyone!

Thank you Sir!

I found a distributor of Parker products, from their website, right down the road from me. I will pick up several and let you know how it has worked out. I'm not a mechanic but seem to be becoming one, working on these MV's...Thanks!

Eddie, thank you! I will take a look at this and let you know. //Mike

That would be great, thank you.

After 9 Saturdays beating on it and soaking for two months with Kano Kroil I was able to get this stuck fuel injector out but in the process I broke off the fuel return tube tee fitting on an adjacent fuel injector. I was wondering if anyone had a resource I could by a couple of these from?

Ditto on the brake kleen/brake cleaner.

Guys, also, I have had one mobile tire truck service cancel on me to put the tires on and one other I never heard back from. Anyone in the Houston area know of a mobile tire service in the sutheast Houston area that will commit to keeping their word about providing tire service? I will pay cash...

Runk and all, thank you. Yes, I had tubes and flaps in the surplus G177's that I was trading for. Regrettably the tires were stolen before I could get them on the Deuce. The shop they were stolen from did find replacements and they came in yesterday, these tires came without flaps and tubes, so...

Sounds like good logic, Do you have the exact TM number that covers tires, rims, and flaps? Thanks!:-?

Is it OK to use 10x20 tubes in the 1100x20 Goodyear Tires. Tire guy i just talked to said that was what he was used to using. The 1100x20 tires will be on the stock Deuce rims, which are 9x20, correct? or wrong? :-?Thanks

Another question - is it OK to use 10x20 tubes in the 1100x20 Goodyear Tires. Tire guy i just talked to said that was what he was used to using. Thanks!
