    Boost Pressure in M939A2?

    I had an '86. Was one of the best bikes I ever had, rode it for 25 years. Wore out two shocks and parts were getting scarce, so I went with a 450R. It made zero boost.

    intake valve for White 160AX engine.

    Gary Hebding....well, the guy that bought him out, I think it is J.R. Halftrack Parts. He sells on e-bay under that name.

    Jeepsinker's M35A2 6BT Cummins swap ( pics and videos)

    I think if you just hard mounted it to the radiator you"ll be fine. I have done alot of repowers doing this and they were fine. The radiator isolators are enough and you want the complete package to move as one unit.

    M151A2 no start

    Did you look to see if it had [points or a hall effect type of ign? Power to the solid state module can brn it up too. Also, the wires like to rub on the guide plate and rotor if they aren't routed correctly. I just had to deal with an issue like that.

    Vapor Locking?

    OK, an update. The owner bought a kit from TNJ Murray. It was a great kit, had everything but the bowl and pump screws! Took the carb apart, it had old gas in it at one time, so lotsa gunk in it, cleaned it out. Checked the float level, WAY low. Set that, bolted it up, started up great. Set the...

    NTC 400 Mo Power

    Careful, see the number in the fourth column? That is the top stop setting. If you put an injector in an engine with the wrong TS/cam you will damage things or have a giant smoke issue. These things aren't rocket science, but if you use the wrong parts mixed together, you WILL have issues. It...

    Simp's M923 Big Cam Repower

    I also thought of something, a Jake issue can cause this type of failure, but only if it is a mechanical failure of the brake components, like a broken actuator spring, the one that makes the foot that actuates the crosshead, so, that might be something to look at. It takes an arbor press to...

    Simp's M923 Big Cam Repower

    1/2 x 20 thread takes up apx .050 per revolution. 1/4 turn takes apx .012. By adding a quarter turn, .012 is taken out of the total travel of the injection stroke, IIRC the lift is .232, so, if you only allow .220 of lift in a spot that has .232 built into it, it takes a bit of time, but...

    What causes engine knock from a bad injector?

    If the cam isn't toast...IF...just measure the gasket stack you took off and you can put another cam box on from another engine, new gaskets of course, without having to time it. Sometimes the broken pieces parts will hit the piston skirt. If that happens, the piston and possibly the liner will...

    Simp's M923 Big Cam Repower

    Explain the injector hanging open causing a "mushrooming" ....PT injectors cannot do that, hang open. they are not pintle type injectors. They will break crimps, that is usually caused by an incorrect tune up. too tight of an adjustment, greater than 6 in lbs...no 1/4 turn past zero lash...that...

    What causes engine knock from a bad injector?

    That it typically what happens when something gets dropped down the push tube cavity, lands on the cam follower and doesn't get fished out. What winfred posted is it in a nutshell on a fuel knock. Usually accompanied by acrid smelling black smoke.

    A0 3116 coolant flow diagram?

    The system shunts coolant to the lower rad piping/trans cooler in a stat closed situation to have a + coolant flow around the trans cooler so the trans doesn't overheat. Warm climates not so much, but cooler climates it is possible to have the stat closed most of the time and in turn, overheat...

    Can my Jerry can be used with diesel?

    I have 5 of those cans dating from the mid 60s to mid 80s. I used them for diesel when I had my Deuce and still use them for gas for my jeep. They will be fine as long as you don't let water sit in them.

    Is this an M37 water pump pulley?

    None of those numbers show up anywhere! It looks like you have the same kind of part as the carb I have, it does not exist!

    Vapor Locking?

    All that is new too, last time he took it out the rotor ans pick up shorted out and burned the coil up.

    Sherman, Hellcat, Priest Wright 975-C4 Radial

    I know of that one too, the issue is, although it looks as it has never been used, the soft parts are gonna be hard as rocks and brittle and if water got in it, the body will be junk. I have contacted the guy, no response as of yet. Someone PM'd me and asked to see pics. The socket is an 1 1/4...

    Sherman, Hellcat, Priest Wright 975-C4 Radial

    I fired off an e-mail to Military Tank Parts, thank you for the lead! I have called many in the industry, seems that the carb is a rare bird. The only person that knew about it was the guy that OWNS Stromberg, but he cannot sell the parts, if he had any, the story was amazing! but a real nice...

    The engine above was used in the tracks listed above. The engine uses a Stromberg NA-R9G, 2 5/8 inch venturi, updraft carb. Anyone out there have a contact for parts for that carb? I am in need of an inlet strainer and some gaskets and everyone I have tried can't find anything, it s like it...

    Vapor Locking?

    The issue sounds like a delivery problem and not a carb issue, I never saw it happen. He bought a carb kit from TNJ. Maybe we'll rebuild it since crap came out the bottom and try heat tape or rubber hose around the lines under the hood. He has the stuff to hook the vapor recovery up, maybe we...
