    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    Chill Out Man!!!! DH...I believe I was pretty clear on what PS article to read and the discussion continued when questions arose from the OP about that article. (I even provided a link to the download) I think you might be a bit hypercritical here and to be honest it is winter time and...

    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    I like the spin ons because I can change the filters with nary a drop of spilled oil. There is nothing quite as dirty as dirty Diesel Oil........ I hope that everyone understands that I am simply advocating your treating your deuce with respect and understanding that the technology, although...

    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    It varies as to how long oil pressure rises. The engine design is for the oil to drain to the sump when you shut down including the filters. When you start up, even once the gauge shows pressure it will take a few more seconds for absolutely everything to get lubed up nicely. The reason...

    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    The check for a hydrostatic lock os not for fuel alone. Coolant can gather in a cylinder and if the others fire, it will break things quickly if the engine starts. That is why you do a hydrostatic test on a cold start. I use the throttle cable, no ether and the manifold heater in cold...

    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    You should do a hydrostatic test when you first start up. Pull the engine stop all the way out. Turn on the power and crank for a couple of seconds to be sure you have not got a combustion chamber full of uncompressable liquid. If it turns over fine stop as you are. Push the stop engine...

    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    My deuce idles around 500 RPM. I live in an area where it is cold in the winter, and these days, in the morning too. Normally, in warmer weather (above 40) the truck starts without the throttle pulled. This time of year I use the throttle as I described and even then, the truck lopes a bit...

    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    Actually, I have heard the acronymn RTFM Which I was told was what newbies generally were told when they asked questions instead of looking the answers up themselves. Exact translation is READ THE F%$$ING MANUAL Having personally had this said to me in the real world at one time or...

    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    The Multifuel engine can have head gasket issues and if you try to start an engine with coolant in a cylinder, especially an engine with a 22 to 1 compression ratio you are asking for it. A simple precaution is to follow the procedure that the original purchaser of the trucks did. Since I...

    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    On a cold start, I do the standard Hydrostatic test and then start the engine. I pull the throttle out about 8 clicks, check for neitral and then push the starter button and then when the engine starts it levels out at 600-700 rom. Once I have had oil pressure for 3-5 seconds, I raise the idle...
