Southern Power Systems of Orlando (407) 293-7971 Clarcor 29578. If you call Clarcor (think this is the same company as Stanadyne Filters, which is not the same as Standadyne anymore - ???) $28.57. They will get you on the shipping, but apparently everyone does. All the places online wanted...

Quick update. As of this morning the truck is finally running! Big thanks to gimpyrobb for the hook up on the FM100. It's a really nice unit. I may post a picture of the latest part number for the manual primer pump. I believe all of the FM100 stuff changed ownership a couple of years ago...

Finally had a chance to change out the mechanical fuel pump today. Man, what a pain. It took me over two hours. Now I could probably do another in 30, but I did a couple of things wrong. To anyone else doing this: Don't remove the pump plate on the engine unless you have to. I was having...

GR, I tried to PM you. I'd like to get the current price / options and possibly order one. Thanks.

For the horn? Wow. This gets more interesting by the day. I imagine some needle nose pliers will remove it but obviously I know little about these trucks. I whiffed on the fuel filter questions. Apparently the stock base has a heater and a water sensor, so sorry about that everyone...

Well, this is interesting. I just pulled the tape off. That looks like a diode stuck in that terminal.

Ok, gotcha. Took some stuff off of the engine so I can finally see. I'm going to go ahead and replace the fuel pump since I have one and I might as well if I'm doing the hose. There's very little rubber, except the short sections you mentioned. I'd like to replace it all, but I have a...

Sounds good, thanks. Is there a cheat sheet for the fuel line sizes I should order if I'm re-doing everything from the tank to the big fuel pump?

Thanks, very helpful. I'm way down here in GA so I'm not so sure how important the heater is. I've seen some filters with water separators, which might be important considering this truck has NO FUEL CAP! Just noticed that today. I'm not sure how the sensor is used. Speaking of Chinese, I...

I finally found the reference you made! https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?36435-My-CUCV-spin-on-fuel-filter-mod&p=397732&viewfull=1#post397732

I think that's where I'm headed. I just got out a spray bottle of degreaser and did an initial de-funking of the engine in preparation of pulling stuff off. This truck is sitting in my driveway near Atlanta, in 85 degree heat, so my patience is wearing very thin. Hopefully I can find a fuel...

Filter base option Sorry I've been bombarding this forum today. After all the nonsense I've experienced today with the fuel lift system, I'm thinking about ripping old parts and fuel lines out, tossing them over my shoulder and replacing everything. I know this base is made in China (like...

Thanks. I'm still getting a ton of air in the system. It looks like I need to tear the whole thing apart anyway since after the last attempt at starting it I noticed there is fuel on the ground. It's maddening. I guess I need to replace the hoses and I may just put on a screw on filter at...

I hooked up my Mitivac to the small port on the fuel filter and that got a lot out. Still a bunch of bubbles and my batteries are hurting. Charging those now.

OK, so I solved this mystery. I was starting to remove the old pump and I realized that the inlet line had no hose clamp on it! Put one on the the leak is gone. But now there's a bunch of air in the line and I can't seem to get it primed. I just started another thread about the possibility...

Inline primer bulb I could swear I read a thread about using an inline marine primer bulb to prime the fuel system. Is there any reason this is a *bad* idea? Can it be left inline? Do it before or after the filter? I just bought a 5/8 marine bulb and I don't want to make a huge mistake.

Thanks. That's what I ended up ordering. I ordered two actually. I've started getting two of everything for this truck. I assumed the $15 Airtex pump was probably junk. https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-43254-Original-Equipment-Mechanical/dp/B000C9MGMO

Thank you friend! I just cancelled an order for the wrong pump. I don't need any more frustration. I'll take your advice and remove the alternator. The thought of fuel dropping on me from the bottom sounds like no fun. Is it possible to clamp off the fuel line to keep it from running...

So I finally finished with the solenoid mod, rebuilt starter, rear bracket, etc on the m1009 that I recently purchased. In another thread I mentioned that it quit running a day after I test drove it and the starter was fried. After the fixes today the truck cranked up pretty easily. I let it...
