CARNAC is right! Congressional inquiries go to the top and roll downhill. When your bosses, bosses, bosses, boss wants to know why the proper action has not been taken, no one wants to be the one with the paperwork sitting on their desk! Makes everyone in the chain appear as incompetent as so...
The motor is a sealed unit. Replace when the brushes go bad or it stops turning. You can buy a brand new one from the manufacturer for about $250. Info is in several threads here on the site.
If a manual is NOT Distribution Statement A in it's most recent form, it's very naughty to pass out copies, in printed or electronic format. That is why there are many manuals not available here on this site (when the TM section is working).
Got friends in Mooresville, go to the Renaissance Faire in Huntersville, born in Rock Hill, bought my first car in Concord from a guy that lived in Kannapolis, been going to Shelby for the hamfest. Probably will see you at Uwharrie or the GA Rally! Welcome to the site!
Mark,
If the MBU will not fuel, try raising the fueling can a bit so gravity can help once the siphon effect is overcome. The pump is 'supposed' to be powerful enough to keep the Scepter can on the ground outside the MKT, but of the 14 MBU's I have, only three will lift that far and I don't...

They need to be between 35.5 and 36 inches long. I have seen the new shovels with the correct NSN, but they are 37.5 inches long, and are longer than the rack (IE, they don't fit). shape of the handle has changed from a true "D" to a tulip shape, which is where the extra length was introduced.
Just checked the area weather for the rally. Supposed to be clear, with lows in the mid 50's and highs in the upper 70's. If the prognosticators are close, we should have super atmospheric conditions for outdoor activities!
Mark,
Looks like we will have a couple of travel covers next month. I'll contact you via e-mail with the details once they are in hand.
And just for general edification, the manuals for all the MKT's are the same - TM 10-7360-206-13 and -23P. They cover from the MKT-75 through the MKT-I...
The solargizer will not keep a battery charged, it is there strictly for desulphating the plates, which slows down the discharge of the batteries. Some people have claimed that their battery was 'charged' over a period of four or five months enough to start, but more likely, the sulfate...
