    Overheating multifuel

    Pull the alternator belt off. Fill the rad. all the way to the top of the filler neck (engine cold). Leave the rad. cap off. Start the engine and watch the water in the rad. If you see bubbles, or water starts pushing out in the first minute or so, you have a compression leak into the water...

    Wrecker Engine Saga

    Wish you didn't live so far away. We could have fun wrenching together. And, to top it off, I can weld!!! You ought to see if you can find the bottom half of a transit can. That would be the best thing to haul the engine in.

    Need a c- turbo- whistler

    I'll be pulling my C off and replacing it with a D. If someone wants to trade me a D, straight up for my C, I'll be glad to swap. The C is too darned loud for me.

    The A-frame kit (hoist) for M35-let's talk about it

    Dad said they used one at a forward airstrip to do an engine change on his C-123. He picked up some flak and lost an engine. they flew in another engine and a couple of mechanics.

    What makes a deuce a deuce?

    The first deuce I saw was in Montivideo Uruguay, in 1967. My Dad was the Milgroup pilot, and had just flown the embassy C-47 back from the Panama Canal Zone after the quarterly comissary run. Mom took me to the military airport, and one of the Marine guards pitched me in the cab of a deuce (I...

    Higest Mileage Contest

    Mine had 13200 on the clock when I bought it, but only the odometer was working. I put in a speedo that showed 9800, now has 12800 showing. That would be about 16200 since 1989 depot overhaul.

    Time for another stupid question - fuel compensator ?

    Bjorn Looking at the article, isn't it about converting the engine back to multifuel? Sure looks like it to me.

    Time for another stupid question - fuel compensator ?

    When the multifuel engine came into service, the military was running both gasoline and diesel equipment of all kinds. Over the years, gasoline has largely been replaced by diesel fuel in almost everything in the inventory. Since the military now runs almost exclusively on diesel fuel, there was...
