    If your careful and patient you can build a demilled functionable M 60 for just a little more than a replica, The parts are out there ,not like 10 years ago but you just have to look. I build most of my guns, except all of mine are shootable, I try to do at least one a year, The M 60 stuff...

    You will want to check the cross over fill equalizer tube between the tanks as well. If you fill one tank and the other is slow to equalize it's jammed as well. Very common

    Just a thought , do you have a one way check valve installed in line in your fuel line, Not all goats do, it was a late TCTO , not long before they got rid of them and not all were done , I have noticed they didn't seem to get through TCTOs as quickly on Goats as they did on other trucks. just a...

    I doubt it would cause the problem your describing, I had a little leak on the return line on the right hand tank for about a year , just enough to bug me, It would start hard if you let it set for a number of hours, Ie I would have to crank and crank and crank , would count to 25 slowly, then...

    Am curious to see the results of your pump rebuild, appears to be a classic gerotor pump, They are known for being just about bullet proof, If you have time check the rotor to wall clearance with a feeler gage.

    Ensure your fuel filters are properly torqued (Can suck air with out leaking) and examine the return fuel line just in side the tub on the drivers side , it is notorious for cracking and leaking usually after shut down , sucking AIR , any of the above can also lose prime and result in excessive...

    It all started during the first Gulf war when the supply system was outstripped by demand, Units were given permission to contract locally for items needed.

    Hi Cougar, Like your goat , but, don't get your accessory manufactures date logic, The M 561 was used in the active inventory well into 1992, probably later in the guard and reserve , I clearly remember them in the first Gulf war 90/91 and although the Unit closeures and rapid drawdown after...
