Check the dashboard for the manifold heater switch, And follow the instructions for use. Operate while cranking the engine only, ( Sometimes it only take a...

    Thank you, There are a plethora of "Help" videos on utube, Most all are complicated, totally impossible to follow and non descriptive, Most know (Sort of ( Most don't! )) what they are on about, but have absolutely no idea how to convey it.

    M135/211 Air pak question

    They are as rare as 'rocking horse poo', And I never ever saw a deuce M135, or M211 for sale (Exclude a totally restored one though) that had decent brakes.

    turn signal issues

    Check all the grounding (Earth) wiring. That sound typical of an earthing issue. If you put a hot (Live) wire to the connector at the switch, first to the right and then left it should light the left rear and front, or right rear and front, Nothing else.

    First post; deuce has IP problems (I think)

    Seems odd that the seller had the pump reconditioned, And when fitted wrecked the engine (Nearly?), He should have sought recompense. Anywaze.. Your description doesn't fit the parts involved, And is a tad hard to follow. However is you read the past posts here on the subject you might be ok...
