What is your camber measuring now? If all shims are removed you may be able to dial in more correction with later model control arm eccentrics from the usual HMMWV parts suppliers. https://flashoffroad.com/Maintenance/FrontEnd/align/alignment.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Check your fuel supply circuit. My 802 developed a hard start condition below 50. Turned out to be the fuel water separator Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finished cleaning up the battery box and replacing the missing hold down bracket. The box had some minor corrosion which I neutralized and painted. The battery terminals needed some work to correct for over tightening, hammering etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was very fortunate to get an 802 in good condition but it still needed work. I would not recommend this to anyone not mechanically inclined with time to burn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was able to recover (2) Optima 51’s in my 802a. I used a 12v Battery Tender charger s few times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It appears to be working. I understand the green label KDS box has a timer and will not re-warm plugs after the initial shot until the timer expires Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
