I had that problem with mine turned out to be the bushings (shaft wobble), I took the dist apart, pulled the bushings and took the old bushings, shaft and housing to a machine shop and they made me a new set. warked like a champ afterward!

According to the multifuel engine repair manual TM 9-2815-210-34-2-2 the opening pressure for a new nozzle should be 3050-3150 PSI with no more than 300 PSI difference between any two nozzles in a complete set, doesn't make a differance one hole or two hole.

Must have been some 2LT that did the write up!!

#1 on my list, folks mixing the wrong type fluid in the system IE putting DOT 3 instead of DOT 5, followed by #2 wheel cylinder leaking / failure, and #3 air pack failure, last is master cylinder failure. Hoses do fail but I have not seen one have a catastrophic failure, I have replaced them...

Can you shoot me the statute that states Kansas restrictions? The only restrictions I know of are for "tracked" vehicles which cannot be registered for "on highway" use

As in my earlier post a military vehicle that is less that 35 years old would be registered under a normal registration in Kansas. This link will get you to the basic Kansas statutes addressing antiques: Statutes Look under chapter 8 specifically: 8-166, 8-167 I think having copy's of...

You may be able to internet search for each states laws online, I did a quick search for Kansas vehicle registration, when I got to the Department of Revenue web site searched for "military vehicle" and it came up with several hits. In Kansas if it is over 35 years old it can be registered as an...

At the bottm of the Atlantic ocean!!! :cry:

If you need help I'm 15 minutes from Ft. Riley and I live about 20 miles from post, I've got plenty of room to store it if you need it,

The MEP series 3K, 5K, 10K, gen sets were designed to run on diesel only from the factory, in the military we did run them on JP-8, as well as the trucks, using JP-8 the fuel consumption charts in the manual went right dowm the toilet! IIRC the manual for the 10K states fuel consumption to be...

The military composites will run off both voltages, I use them on my M101 trailer and I pull it with an M37 (24V), M882 (12V) and my Ford Expo and they work fine. I've also wired up trailers with commercial 24V LED lamps and those also will run fine on both voltages, and you could not see any...

Remove the pink wire on the top of the IP, it will keep the engine from starting>

I've seen the PRC-25 / 77 series with the vehicular amplifier, any of the VRC-12 series of radios or the SINGARS, all would be correct for installation in the HMMWV

Let's see 1 M1 stuck fender deep = mire factor of 4 X 68 tons = M88 crews worst nightmare!

Not too bad a job, I find it easier to remove the valve covers for a little extra room, there are gaskets where it meets the head.

Tapping off one battery WILL cause problems, I have this issue with fire departments all the time, they hook up a radio or lights to the rear battery on the deuce, it will cause an imbalance in the batterys and causes front battery to overcharge and the rear to go flat. I have them put those...

When I was a military instructor teaching recovery there was one rule we taught that was NEVER to be broken! NEVER EVER tow a disabled vehicle that is heaver than the towing vehicle! (we didn't recommend towing a 5 ton wrecker with another 5 ton wrecker) True the 5 ton has provisions for...

The high mounted were used early only on the winch equipped trucks, the early non winch equipped had lower mounted headlamps, later all trucks had the high mounted lights. My guess somebody got smart and figured out they really didn't need 4 different parts!

FRC should + Forscom Forces Command

Another issue is the military for the most part uses JP-8 aviation kerosene instead of diesel, JP-8 doesn't have the lubricity of diesel and does cause some accelerated wear in the IP head and other components that require the lubrication of the fuel, NATO testing for the "one fuel on the...
