Where in SC? I know people in the upstate, Charleston, Florence, Kershaw, Aiken, Orangeburg, and the Columbia area. Group from Columbia will be going to Monroe, NC for the Air Show this weekend, then roll in the Columbia, SC Nov 11 parade.
Welcome to the site! Mark your calendar for Labor Day Weekend 2022 - that will be the VA MV Rally at the Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, VA, about 30 miles north of Charlottesville. There is four of us from South Carolina that go every year!
If you are not getting ANY fuel coming out of the top of the HH, then the button fell off again. If you are not getting fuel to the correct cylinder to fire, then you have a timing problem.
The -24 and -24P manuals should cover this. They are in the TM section of this site, look under the Deuce, because the M109 Shop Van is just one of the many variants of the M-35 series of deuce-and-a-half's.
You are just over the river from SECO, which has been a good place for me to get parts. JP lives in Aiken and has an 814 ('The Long Easy'). If you don't meet up with the Columbia group before then, join us in the Aiken Memorial Day Parade next spring.
Where in SC? We have groups in the upstate and the midlands. A few of us will be at the "Warbirds Over Monroe" on Nov 5-7 in Monroe, NC, just east of Charlotte.
From the truck's perspective, I have the Columbia SC Veterans Day Parade from 2015, The Gilbert, SC Peach Festival Parade from 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, and the 2021 Aiken, SC Memorial Day Parade. Each consists of 9 or 10 three minute videos for each side of the parade route, taken by...
Here is a You Tube taken from my truck of the Gilbert, SC Peach Festival Parade. It's only a 3 minute clip of one side of the crowd - full thing is 30 minutes for each side. Been doing this since 2015. Local TV station (channel 19, WLTX) should have a video if the Columbia Veterans Day Parade...
Depends on whether you want the 'current' green which is 383 green, (FSS 3409? if I remember correctly), the USMC green (FSS 3405? I think), or the old original Olive Drab green, which you will have to find in the Behr Paint threads. There is a list of ALL FSS paint codes there! If you are...
Lets see, the fuel goes up from the in-tank pump, to the primary/water separator filter, then across the front of the engine to the low side of the IP. From there it goes to the secondary fuel filters and back over to the high side of the IP (hopefully with the FDC bypassed), goes into the...
Containerized Kitchen for those who don't have one. At $355,000 a smack when new! If you do have one, please contact me as soon as possible. If you don't have a CK, just pass on by - they are not for the faint of heart. They were built to feed 650-700 troops three meals a day with five cooks...
Low power at higher engine speeds is often clogged fuel filters. If there are no air leaks the multi-fuel IP first stage will move all the fuel you need w/o the in-tank pump running. Chek the TM's for the proper fuse, it will be in the -20/-24P manual.
I cannot get any of my MBU's to turn on. Tried two different power supplies, which are producing 26.6 volts at the end of the cord that plugs into the MBU. So far 8 different MBU's simply do not go through the startup sequence, the display remains 'dead'. Two of the units I used last...
