Need assistance Slow Deuce !

[Chases7885]

Hello everyone, i got a 1969 kaiser m35a2 and i have a few problems with it and cant figure it out.
#1 I cant get this thing to start with out a shot of either after a quick spray is fires right up, don't know why it wont start without it.
#2 Next thing i have wrong with it is it wont go over 30 mph and that's down hill, sounds like the engine is strong and the rpms are high while driving with the foot to the floor. Other than that its a beast in the yard but at some point i want to get it on the road. i appreciate any help or suggestion i can get thanks

Congrats! Other than ether what have you done to look over the truck? that way people don't repeat a million things trying to help.

i have replace the in tank pump, bled injectors bled fuel filters, checked the fuel lines and im about to change the fuel filters someone told me that might be why it is running slow other than that i have no idea what to look for

 

[maa45069]

Its a dumb question... Is the transfer case in low range?

 

[dmetalmiki]

That is definitely not a dumb question..seriously, IF, he has his foot to the floor, AND the engine is revving it's nuts off! You are correct.
And this is a good time to get out or download the operating T.M.s, And read up on operating the truck, and familiarizing yourself on other necessary features you should know about.

I honestly don't think its a fuel problem... to the right of your leg there is a lever for the low gear.... you should read the manuals and I suggest really reading them. Especially the braking system. I think it is more important to stop a deuce than to get it going... Best of luck

i did check that cause i thought the same thing but it said it was in high

 

[Chases7885]

What was your indication that the transfer was in high range?

Here is one TM you should read ASAP. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/M35/TM9-2320-209-10-1.pdf

There are others for your perusal under the "Technical Manuals" at the top of the page.

Anyway, here you go. Technical manual - operator manual. T.M.9-2320-361-10

the lever is set to where it says its in high unless the tag on this thing is backwards and i guess that could be a possibility lol

Time to oil the squirrel wheel

Pull up the big lever that is a little under the seat, if you have a winch you maybe moving the PTO lever. It should come all the way up to the seat.

i believe mine may be backwards then lol ill double check it when i get to the house thanks

 

[FloridaAKM]

If it backwards, there are some odd things going on with your truck. All of the Deuces I have ever driven have the transfer case in high when the lever is UP where you can see it near the seats & down to the floor in LOW range! Let us know what you find.............

Could be that someone just put the plate on backwards, might be what he meant. If that was the case, he might have thought down was Hi and up was LOW. Simple plate switcheroo could be the entire issue...if we could always be that lucky when troubleshooting...lol.

 

[M35A2-AZ]

This one needs to be UP for High. In the pic it is down in low.

That there is a clean floor board.
