It's a 72 kaiser m35a2 with the 456 Hercules multifuel. The fuel in it was horrible and smelled like turpentine. All 3 filters were changed and the tank was drained as best as possible ( the bottom has a massive dent so there is still old crap fuel in the low spots as the drain was the high...

? I understand about not having oil up top yet, and the high rims. I am hoping if this works that I can get off the pedal quick enough. I am sure there should be a window of opportunity for a few seconds to catch it before it runs away. So if the manifold heater is pumping and I can hear it...

Defiantly !!! yeah your only a few minutes away. Just having starting issues now. ugh... I talked to the previous owner today and asked him about his starting procedure. He hits the manifold preheat for 1/2 second then hits the starter with his foot to the floor on the pedal. Said it...

:funny:I have always been aware that my spelling is horrible. I truly appreciate your assistance in pointing out the curse of living with A.D.D. that I have had to endure my entire life and how it affected me in school and now this message board. I usually don't pay much attention to my...

i just have the mushroom sticking right out the side. has anyone ever added a straight piece of tube from the cab right into any part of the air intake so you could spray directly into the tube from sitting in the drivers seat? i know it sounds stupid but seems like it would be a easy fix...

Cool. i need to clarify something in my earlier post. When i said i had to give it a 5 second squirt, that was because by the time i walked back around and climbed in (has the 53"s on it), that was the only amount that would get it going. anything less seemed to evaporate by the time i could...

i watched the exhaust today once it was running. It is perfectly clear at idle but puffs mild white smoke with a tap on the throttle. Any smoke goes away when the idle evens out. Is this a major issue or normal. I think if it was white constantly that would be a problem but a small light...

Thanks gimpyrobb and maccus. That bit of info was drastically the opposite of what the data plate said. I wasn't going to try anything extreme like that in fear of doing damage to a part i know nothing about. I am just starting to get overwhelmed with all the TM's and trying to find where to...

today it was almost 50˚ out. the plate on the dash says not to run the pre-heat without cranking. as long as it wont hurt anything i will give it a try tomorrow. even tho i am not familiar with hot the preheat functions, i agree that i wouldn't be wise to use it and ether in the same starting...

i down loaded 4 TM's, ( TM9-2320-209-20-2-1, TM9-2320-209-20P, TM9-2320-209-34P, TM9-2320-361-20) these are maintenance and service. I will try to find the starting sequence in a drivers manual.

i would love if this beast got 10mpg, did i mention that i am running the 53's and all 3 axles? i think i may get more like 5-6, but i can hope.

i will definitely try that tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to explain about the sequence. if it dosnt start and i am on to the second attempt at cranking, should i put the foot in the pedal again or not?

Well that's good because i plan on driving the **** out of this (at least locally and as long as i can afford to feed her)

how difficult of a job is that? i would hate to undergo a PIA process and risk making it worse than it is. if the valves were out, would it really be able to still run as good as it was? I wonder if it just has some querks?

Yes it does. you can hear the pump in the tank and the geyser we had coming out the bleeder was on the pump alone.

do you mean just drive it?

i have been trying to resist the temptation from putting my foot into it. i read a little about the hydrolock and was "afraid". i only touch the pedal when she starts to catch. I know 5 seconds is a long shot, but it was the only way i could get it going. everything else i have been fixing...

i have only been able to view it when its idling and it seems to be transparent. i'll try to grab a video of the stack tomorrow. i have never worked with a diesel motor before, thank god i have friends that have. This message board is awesome. everyone has been so helpful on my posts. When it...

well 4' my be a slight exaggeration. thats whe my friend said who was working the bleeder screw while i was in the cab, blinded by the hood.
