I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about a duece. Going back and looking at you avatar you must be talking about a Blazer. You could still have some stuck parts but I dont know anything about the Blazers. They have an electric shut down could be bad.
Yes, its easy. there is a coverwith two screws that the shut down rod sticks out if. The pull cable is attached two it. Remove two screws and the cover. You will see two more screwa with a tie wire in them. Between the screws on the bottom side is a small lever. work it with your finger...
When the motor is turning do you get smoke out the pipe? I started one yesterday that had been sitting for years. First attempt no smoke but I let it spin to build up oil pressure to get it lubed before starting. I suspected the shut down lever in the pump was stuck in the off position...
You can get some good deals on GL. It is best to inspect first if you can. I got lucky with my Duece as I bought it site unseen. It was the worse looking one on that sale. The bed showed patches and rust. The other 12 were fresh out of rebuild so thats the ones everyone wanted. I got it...
They are easy to rebuild yourself. Get a cylinder hone from the auto parts store and polish the bore. If it polishes out smooth and shiny install new cups and you are good to go. The last two I did would not clean up so I got a new one off e-bay for $55.00 and a second good take-off at the Ga...
Kenny, Bob still has a way to go but he is catching up. I have added two Dueces to my stable that I have not talked about yet. They sat at a military surplus store in Savannah for years until the city ordered him to clean up. He did not comply so the city had them towed. Tow yard owner...
Mistaken1, my trailer is rated 20'000 lb gross weight but I have had a 24'000 lb payload on it with no problems, just be real careful about stopping. I know thats not a good idea but I was hauling baled tobacco from the farn to market. I pull it with a 98 Chevy 1 ton dually crewcab with the...
This thread is two years old. But we have a brand new member who is reading all the posts as has been instructed by the old hands for the last couple months. Maybe he did not notice the dates in his inthusasion for what he has found. He is contributing his knowledge to what for him is a new...
My Friend bob130ab recently won two Dueces on GL. One was at Warner Robbins abd the other at Fort Stewart. He drove to Robbins and inspected the trucks before the sale. There was only one at Stewart so since it was so close to us he did not inspect but put in a max bid early in the sale at a...
Very good price. If it were close to me I would snap it up. Lots of parts out there. You usually can get carb kits and NOS carbs on e-bay. Watch e-bay often and you can get some good deals. I buy spare parts for mine when they come up cheap. I even got three NOS motors off e-bay and they...
