    m-817 First start a no go.

    I am not familiar with these trucks and it is nice to hear what people know about them. When I bought it there were no batteries. I just got it to run. What is the black box? Did it blow off a lot of air when the brakes were applied? I was alone so I could not crawl underneath and apply the...

    m-817 First start a no go.

    m-817 First start a no go.

    Thanks. At first it made no sense and then when I blew the photo up I had an AHA moment. You can pull me once but not twice. I tried to read and the manual for the most part said call for help.

    m-817 First start a no go.

    Thanks for the offer. I believe I learned on the emergency shut off. If that fails I will call you. Main issue is the snow and its in Spread Eagle Wi. So to go there it would have to be lunch on me and lots of beer.

    m-817 First start a no go.

    Ok I can do this. Is there a reason to reset this. I assume its just a push pull cable. What goes wrong? Just trying to learn the quirks on these trucks. And I do appreciate the help.

    m-817 First start a no go.

    That I can not answer. I did do a once over on all the controls and I did pull the emergency shut down. It did seem to function ok. I did do that last weekend when I went overe everything. When it did not fire I did pull and release it twice. It seemed to return ok.

    I went to where my M-817 is stored. Truck is supposed to run. The temps are mid 40's this afternoon. Anyway brought 20 gallons of fuel. Loaded it with additives. Two new Interstate 12 volt batteries. Everything seems to be able to work. Primed to 80 psi., fuel heater on, 1/3 throttle and just...
