Only if you are eating the treated canvas. In that eventuality, I suspect pyridine poisoning would be the least of your problems. The amounts being given off by treated canvas are not harmful, they just have a strong odor.

Yes, in fact you can. However, most places won't have it listed under Quarpel (Quartermasters Repellant). Look for 1-(stearamidomethyl)pyridinium chloride. It bonds with cellulose (cotton) to a significant extent. Keep in mind that its reaction with cellulose creates hydrochloric acid, so...

The injector pump kit NSN 2910-00-489-5994 has gone up to $35 at http://secoaugusta.com/.

It was in a TM I had never seen before. TM9-2910-226-34 All your fuel supply pump repair needs are held therein.

Okay. In previous comments it sounded like it was an o-ring seal. I haven't had a chance to take apart the MBP, so I have not idea what it looks like. Thanks for the heads up. I won't be looking for an o-ring. I had no trouble getting the motor lifted and the MBP removed. Tomorrow I will...

I was able to diagnose my MBP leak by running the in-tank pump. This site is amazing! I was work through my diesel-oil problems using the guidance and information in this and another thread. You guys rock! My in-tank pump was DOA, so I purchased one of the $50 surplus replacements on a...

I am still trying to figure out the correct terminology. If I type something confusing or use the wrong terminology please let me know. Update 3. If I disconnect the plug from the back of start button the starter stops running. That would seem to indicate that the problem is with the start...

Things are going from intermittent to just plain weird! My deuce is starting when I turn the accessory switch on WITHOUT me pushing the start button. So, here is what happened... I started up the deuce normally and had an odd issue with the voltage gauge. The engine was running but the...

Sounds good. I will get back into this evening. I have to say that it is disconcerting to be under/around the engine when it turns over. Gets your blood pumping quick!

dueceman, you are awesome! I had been looking for that exact TM but my searchfoo was weak and I couldn't find it for the life of me! Unfortunately, I have the worst kind of starter problem. An intermittent one! I was able to get it started again without any effort whatsoever! I walked...

Update #2. Back to no power to the starter again. Unfortunately, this time, I can't get it to jump start either. I got replacement batteries. But after I swapped them out I couldn't get it started. All battery connections appear to be good. I am showing the proper voltage across each...

Update! After the parade I went over to a local place and had them test the batteries. Both were showing around 250 CCA, so I think replacement are in order. He also mentioned that I need to check the alternator, however, I couldn't figure out how to do that on the fly, so I am back here...

Oh, yes. I thought you meant my current set would need to be numbered. (I don't know why I thought that. It doesn't make any sense. I think I might have the diagram. Is there a TM number I should look for?

Making sure it is numbered like the original may be difficult. The little tags aren't present on most of the wires and the ones that are present are illegible. Roger on the updates. :-)

Pretty much all of them are frayed and peeling. I think an entire new front end wiring harness is in my near future. This is a 1970 AM General with the original engine. I don't see evidence that it ever went through an overhaul.

whatadeuce, you are awesome! Thank you! In the next week I will go through and check all those wires and connections. I would hate to be on the road, stopped for fuel somewhere and discover that it is a loose connection.

I have an update. After getting some sleep I had a clear head and thought I might as well try jumping it. Its easy and I had nothing to lose. (When I picked her up we had to jumper her, but then in the following days I didn't.) I connected up and she turned over the first try! After letting...

I went to start the Deuce this evening but had no luck. It started fine yesterday. (The only difference between today and yesterday was a goodly amount of rain.) I pushed the start button with the fuel off to make sure it wasn't hydrolocked. The engine turned over for a couple seconds, but...

Cool. :-)

I had thought about that. Its purpose is to keep stuff out rather than keep stuff in, correct? Keeps everything water tight if you ford a stream or run through deep muck.
