    M817: Starting issues, no prime, at wits end!

    Did you open the petcock, when you pumped? Has your pump ever worked for you? Have you run it before on the left tank with the valve set as it is now? Did the truck run normally ever?

I think to myself, "hmm, he thinks he's a better engineer than the ones that built the truck." Rather than re-engineer what they don't understand, they should in...

    Cdl?

    Simply put, an Internet forum is NOT the place to determine whether or not you need a CDL.
