    That's what I did.And a bonus is if you think IP is bad turn off elect.pump if it still runs good on flat land chances are your IP is fine.

    Engine Performance: Sudden drop in power during acceleration. Idles/starts well.

    Mine did something like this.Discovered the rubber fuel line feeding mech. lift pump had a tight bend,and as it aged it started to close itself off.I have since gone electric and much better.

    cold start and dies after 10-15 seconds

    Something easy to check is the rubber fuel line going to mech. lift pump,mine was bent to tight and as time went by it weakened and started to kink more and more.Caused me all kinds of problems.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Just turned 90k,changed oil,filter,diff. fluids,rear u-joints.I wondered how long my 1009 would run with electric lift pump turned off,It ran and ran,I even revved it up and it still ran great.Im thinking my IP is in pretty good condition.

    New batt. cables

    Im very electrically challenged,so will probably stick with fusable links..My 1009 is still dual alt.24/12 volt.Im going to run 12v right to gp solenoid to eliminate 24v/12v resistor and cascade failure of glowplugs.

    Loose belt, hard to start?

    Bad lift pump,mine did this,discovered rubber fuel line bent way to tight,as it got older it closed up more and more.Now I have elect.pump and spin on filters with pressure gauges on input and output side.Its something to look into.
