    Start up after long time advice

    Ok, thank you, I have never heard of that but will look for it. Maybe I could put some kroil in a spray bottle and use it for now. Seems so strange that thing could stick like that. I think a better word might be jammed.

    Well , judging by the lack of responses regarding an alternative to removing the fuel control , it looks like I'm going to have to remove it. Can I cause any damage if I don't get it put back in correctly? I'm guessing a runaway engine in a worse case scenario. Thank you.

    Ok,thank you, I'm not really that confident with my ability to get it back together right. Is there any other way to get it unstuck without taking it apart? Why is it stuck anyhow? What will prevent it from getting stuck again even if I do get it loose? Thank you. Edit: I pulled the shutdown...

    Ok, here is the start up video I promised. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dps_x_spcN4 I obviously put the wrong spark plugs in it. :lol: Fortunately that is not really mine however. I took the engine stop cover off and the little lever didn't want to move freely at first, then it did loosen up...

    Thank you, yes I was aware of the drain plug (double checked to see it had one today) but the reason I said siphon is because I can't figure out what to actually drain it into without making a huge mess. It only shows to have about 3 or 4 inches in the tank using a yard stick, but it seems like...

    Ok, I'll film it, but will have to figure out how to post it. I'm planning to start it Saturday. The fuel doesn't smell like Diesel to me, more like paint or something. It's been in there around nine years so I might siphon it out and add new fuel. It looks like the left side rear axle is...

    Thank you, I got the left side brush cut down and found a truck in there. The plunger is very stiff to move in or out, so will have to see what's going on there.

    I don't know how the plunger moves yet, I'm going to have to cut some brush growing on the other side of the truck before I can get close enough to reach it. There's no way I'm getting in the truck from the right side (or the left) until I'm absolutely certain there's no snake inside...

    Ok,thanks. I can see how that monster might not look so threatening if you're used to alligators everywhere, but there's no way I would sleep in the same house with that thing.

    I took a look under the hood, the way this cable wire is connected just doesn't look right to me. There is also a snakeskin about five feet long inside the truck, so I'm not getting in there until I'm sure the snake isn't still around. I

    Ok, I have some Kroil. What would happen if the plunger does stick and the button comes off? What button? Thanks.I Another reason I haven't started this thing in a while is because I'm a little concerned that it might run away, the idle control is a little loose feeling and has always made me...

    Start up advice after long time not running Hi guys, I haven't started the M 35A2 in probably three years, at least. Is there anything specific that I should do before attempting to start it? How harmful is not running it for so long. I just lost interest in it a few years ago after a rear...
