    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    As soon as I run out of spare filters I'm buying a spin on setup. I hate that thing.

    M105A2 trailer build/ conversion

    Those are solid trailers. I have one of those and an M1102. Why choose to modify this one instead of an M1102 which will be much closer to your end goal?

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    It shouldn't be able to draw air in there if the tank pump is working properly.

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    One possibility is that you not only have a small leak but you also have an under performing lift pump. Assuming that you are getting a bunch of small bubbles that collect into pockets when off (sure seems like that by your description); it's possible the injector pump is just over pumping the...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Yep fuel line leak. It's small so when it runs the bubbles are tiny and don't affect operation (very much). When you stop all the little bubbles gather together and air bind the system. Since it's still rather small you've been able to get away with some starting fluid to bump the cranking RPM...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Well you've chased the supply to the HH pretty well. If it was leaking you should have seen it. Now maybe test the output: try cracking an injector line and see if you get a good pulse out of it while cranking. I'm thinking you have some goo in there wreaking havoc.....

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    So..... once again: does your lift pump work? That's the pump in the tank. You should hear it come on when you switch on the power before starting/cranking. You should be able to flush the primary filter (passenger side, front area of motor) with just the power switched on it should squirt out...

    Another CTIS Issue

    You probably have a hub seal leak. First things first: build a test tool and check all the hub seals. The method to make the tool is in the TM's. I posted the one I made in a thread here somewhere...... With the schraeders in the stems the system won't work. It can't pop open the QRV's and...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Part of the pre start walk around checks is to turn the ignition on and open the bleed screw on the first filter to drain off any crap in the system. If you're pump failed you'll know it when you do this. That's how I found mine went kaput. Screw the $500 in tank replacement. Get a Walbro...

    CA register a Humvee Street Legal in California

    So just to be clear: nobody is breaking any laws. Except the state. They are breaking their own rules. The CARB referrals when going non-op aren't legal, the refusal to perform a VIN inspection isn't legal, I've been refused due to the odometer having under 7500 miles (not legal it's 2 years OR...

    CA register a Humvee Street Legal in California

    Yes. You can. Since I made the post above 15 months ago I have: -Gotten historic plates for my "1986" BMY M936A2. It's actually a 1991 but whatever. Had a Michigan title when I got it. The DMV threw me out on the way I wrangled a referral to CHP. The CHP didn't want to sign it so I challenged...

    Remove surge brakes from

    What model trailer is it? I have an M1102 and you can defeat the hydraulic brakes by pinning the actuator so it doesn't slide. The military thought about this. They provided this so you can back a loaded trailer up a hill. That sure looks like my M1102 setup. Check your TM.....

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    There's a Walbro pump on fleabay right now for about half of new. It's a 6054 (6000 series). Not as fancy as the newer marine style ones but I have a 6067 on my truck and the damn thing is bulletproof. Mounted on the frame rail with new premium Parker sleeved fuel line and fittings. Pump will do...

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    Well I guess this proves the minor debate (found in another thread) about whether or not the motor will prime if you've lost the tank pump and cracked open the system. The answer is "Probably not and if so it'll be a bitch!"

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    Try TM 9-2320-361-24-1, WP 0069 00 for the "Fuel Injection Pump Replacement". This is the field level manual meant for swapping the entire unit at the field motor pool level. While you are doing this remove the valve covers and adjust the lash. Use the procedure located at the end of WP 0031 00...

    All 6 tires airing down

    There's a pressure switch on the wet tank for the CTIS. I think it's on about 120 and off at 90. On mine it's located on a cross fitting. You can jumper this for testing. When the hub seals go bad they might still work depending on the position they are in and how bad they leak. I never had...

    All 6 tires airing down

    Stop. Unplug the CTIS module to prevent problems on the road until you get it working. Air up manually until you get it fixed. You've lost a hub seal. At least one. Make a test tool like the one in the TM. Unplug the lines to the wheels one at a time and test them. I've got a dollar that says...

    Thoughts on WAGO connectors

    I've installed a lot of these. The only failure I've ever seen is when the push type (not the lever type) has been used on a solid wire that has some kinks in it (was in a wire nut previously). The contact was poor, it overheated and opened the circuit. Ever since finding that I always make sure...
