RE: IAN Hey Nice jeep. Looks solid. I also picked up a M715 in Maine. from the fire department. Dont look as good as yours. Is it converted to 12v or still 24v. Also may i ask how much you paid? I had to tow mine home. But I got it running at this time still having a few issue. anyway swelcome...

I checked out my wire issue and I only burned 3 wires. I replaced them and the jeep started right up. I let it run for a few seconds and I was still getting the issue with the back fire and I also noticed that when I steped on the gas the frist few seconds I hear a sucking sound (air) and can...

Well how should I start? Mechanic NOT was going to check the plugs today like suggested, but I decided to see what would happen if I let the jeep run for awhile. So I started up the jeep went into the house and about 20 minutes later the jeep shut off. I went out side and noticed the inside of...

checked the points and set the gap .20 I did not see that much of a different with the way the jeep runs. It doesn’t back fire as bad as it did. I had to turn the idle up on the carburetor so the jeep would stay running. Still having the same issue when I step on the gas the jeep will shake...

Update, post from M715 ZONE The next day I go to start the jeep and it ran very ruff. When I step on the gas it sounds like it was jumping and I had to hold down the gas to keep it running. I put a new gas filter in and put 7 gallons of fresh gas and gas cleaner and no luck. I turn the idle up...

RE: Alive The break cylinder was empty. So I had to add brake fluid, I don’t think any brake fluid was in the lines because the brake pedal went to the floor. I’m thinking that once I bleed the breaks with fresh fluid I should be ok? I’m also going to drain the transfer case. Also should I be...

Alive I got the jeep going. I put in 6 new plugs new 12v coil and points and replaced a few wires that did not look to good. Started right up after 5 years and it idle real nice never had to step on the gas. I was shocked. I can not believe how well the jeep runs. I'm thinking the coil was bad...

RE: should I change my plugs and wires and distributor I was still having issue trying to get 12v to the coil so I ran the + wire from the coil to the + terminal on the battery and still no luck I could not get 12v to coil. I added a second battery to give me 24v. Don’t know if this was a bad...

RE: should I change my plugs and wires and distributor EastCoastKaiser, Thanks for the manual you have been a big help HatAttacks

should I change my plugs and wires and distributor should I change my plugs and wires and distributor? I still have the military water proof ignition. and the spark plug wires thread onto the spark plugs. I did not see the coil inside the distributor. I have found some wires tape together and...

Thanks clinto. Think this is one of the reason why the jeep may not start because Im useing one 12 volts battery HatAttacks

Do I need a 24 volt battery because I been using a 12 Volt. to try and start the jeep? HatAttacks

12 volts or 24 volts Looks as I still have 24volts because it has the military water proof ignition and the spark plug wires thread onto the spark plugs . if it is 12volts and the truck is left 24volt and a tap runs off the battery to get 12volts to power lights, coil/distributor, and radios...

sermis, Brute4c at www.M715zone.com got some info for me. It looks to be a delivery date of 12/68 So we know know it a 68 M715. Just want to give a big thanks to Brute4c and every body that post a reply. You all been a big help . Now its time to get it running :P HatAttacks

EastCoastKaiser, after reading your reply I check over the jeep. it looks as I do have the military water proof ignition. the spark plug wires thread onto the spark plugs. So I think it must be 24volt and a tap runs off the battery like you said to get 12volts to power lights...

EastCoastKaiser, you are correct about the jeep having a key switch. The fire department must have changed it. I do have a switch on the dash, once the switch is turned on a red light lights up on my turn signal. Then I can turn the key and the truck turns over. No luck at staring. I was...

I picked it up at a town auction. I was told it ran before it was parked. Frame looks great and body as well. Don’t know much about them but I can’t wait to get the jeep running . I did try to start it but no luck it turns over and the Carb gets gas but no luck. But I have been reading and I was...
