    M820 RV conversion

    I lived in one in Germany for about 165 days out the year back in the early eighties. They were easy to expand. Winter time the fuel fired heater kept it warm, except for the steel floor which was cold and froze your feet, rubber mat help solve that problem. Other thing is make sure you ground...

    M151A1 Zenith Carb Problem

    I was able to pick up a new carb at a fair price and slapped it on, I set the choke to what the 20 manual recommends and it runs perfect now. It also has better pick up and top speed. Thanks for all your support.

    M37 Difficult starting after sitting a week.

    There is no fuel leaking any where. The fuel pump does not have a handle, I wish it did. The fuel pump I believe is fairly new, it has a glass bowl next to it, and there is fuel in it. I will check the choke this weekend. Maybe the guy that rebuilt the carb did something incorrectly during the...

    M37 Difficult starting after sitting a week.

    My M37 idles and runs great, problem is if it sits a week it cranks but does not start right away, I can crank it for about 20 times before it starts. Once it starts it starts up first try every time after that and the following days. After a week of sitting it takes alot of cranking. The guy...

    M151A1 Zenith Carb Problem

    My M151A1 starts and runs great. Problem is when I am in 4th gear driving 40 mph I let up off the gas and push the clutch in to down shift to turn off the road and the engine quits. Same thing going down hill I take my foot off the gas pedal and it stalls. The electric fuel pump is new also has...
