I wish I were closer and could lend a hand, I am by no means an expert but I know some. I am fortunate to have a friend who works on detroits and other things to help me with mine. I was gonna go the White Owl route myself and get one of their takeout motors, but I am kinda stubborn and want...

I sit in the driver's seat and make detroit noises, don't even have to hit the starter button, I will post a full AAR of my trip to Red River in another thread, got some good stuff

Mine hasn't run yet:cookoo:

We be wrecker poor here;-)but that would have been my first choice. I pulled a lot of 113, and Bradley pacs with an 816 back in the day.

Well it took a while but finally got my gantry crane, hope to have the engine out next week, then teardown and see whats what.

Will do Mark!

Looks good Mark, I have one complete set of the doors for the pass side, but have the frames for both. Let me know if you stumble onto another kit like that, off to Red River tomorrow, got a list of part numbers longer than my leg. Hoping for the best, after talking to him on the phone last week...

Well that sucks!

That head is Heavy! I have an extra one. Waiting till my my motor is on the ground as well. Mark, hopefully a re-torque will solve your problem.

Got my fingers crossed for you, never even thought of lookin on JEGS, what does that gasket kit run? I need one for sure!

Good question, didn't see that in the tm, most units I was in had their own load plans. I would guess maybe stuffed under the passenger seat, or wherever it would fit.

Gruss Gott! Wish I could help with the deal but have not had to deal with that yet, m38inmaine probably has that info.

I plan on putting a vic 1 in mine, probably skip the radio. I still need a couple of Charlie box cables and a 1780

Sorry to hear that Mark.

Sadly all the above is true, love the Goat as it is unique to say the least, but she is a problem child that requires lots of TLC. I only plan on doing the old motorpool restoration on mine just to get her up to -10 standards and make her fully MC and just have fun with it. Don't think I would...

Yep, may upgrade mine too, I had one on my deuce.

Good work Mark

You may be right, but it don't cost nothin. You may be surprised, but I bet those bolts will be loose.Might want to bring it up to operating temp first. Good Luck!

Mark thought I would just throw out this suggestion, talked to a friend of mine about you problem. He was a CW3 maintenance officer and used to work at the big Mainz rebuild shop back in the day. He opined that it would not hurt to re-torque the head bolts, it might be enough to make the o ring...

Got it running off of a small plastic lawnmower tank. Got it lined out at 61.8 herz, it would run good for a couple minutes then die. Did 3 or 4 interations of this, then decided to check the governor on the side of the carb, it was disconnected, duh, Will hook it up tomorrow and start over on...
