I have a 1" stencil machine up at Mom and Dad's. You're welcome to use it.
I've got one set of brass ones but have been using the crap out of them lately. They also have about 1000 out of the 10000 layer of paint on them right now.
While at the GA Rally I got to see the camper (missile launch test trailer) he did all the work on. I can't express how much he impressed me with his trailer, work and skill. Winning MV of the month is well deserved for this young man.
Condenser was swapped.
I'd be happy to hear it sputter or even act like it is starting.
Based on events from the last <48 hrs, looks like I'm about to get excruciatingly busy.
I'm taking a step back for a day or two.
Going to drain, clean the fuel tank. Blow out the lines but with fuel injected straight into the carb, it should have fired. Vic is probably right but just scratching my head on it.
Spark, fuel, air. It's all simple until one gets absolutely...
Happy Veterans Day Vic.
Yep, Yep, and only to eat dessert after all my long pilgrimages across the desert. I feel like a nomad.
I'll see what I can do reference timing but can't believe it would get that "off" to where I never even get a sputter or a cough from the engine. But right now...
I checked the switch and it appears good per the ohmmeter. Connections undone and cleaned (were already clean) and put back.
Battery was charged yesterday and is still sitting at 6.36v.
Soldierette B arrived.
I have a good spark in the points.
The coil good spark from coil wire onto...
Your deuce is a 2.5 ton with max on road capacity of 5 ton. Figure a M35A2 w/w and you're almost 15K of just vehicle. So absolute max would be 25K. Doubt you hit that unless you're carrying gold or lead bars. I once towed my M1061 and with the deuce loaded and crossed a CAT scale at a truck...
Welcome.
its a gray area that has started heated debates on here before. You're non-commercial. Not loaded. But you do meet the other requirements (air brakes and GVW capability).
My suggestions is cut your hair, shave, look presentable, don't drive like a jerk, eyes straight and keep going.
Btw, it cranks but won't start.
I don't have soldier B to do the crank while looking for a spark form coil wire and/or spark plug wires.
Gapped plugs at .030. Gapped points at .020 with cam on shoulder.
Having continuing issues.
Quite awhile back the jeep just wouldn't start. Messed around with the points, condenser, and spark plugs as for gapping and replacing.
I also found a blown head gasket after I'd been messing around.
I've replaced the head gasket. Today I tried to start it...
That's Nurnberg!!! I've been there and the platz is still there, albeit without the Nazi swastika. Here's where they blew it off.

Good for your grandfather!!
I went and looked at the various webpages that...
Now that things have calmed down some, I wanted to my thanks to some folks that really helped me out with various things at the rally. For some the efforts were of a classified and/or vastly widespread nature that I couldn't cover everything they did.
Clint, Gimp, Dave, Kenny, Drew, Drew...
Saw this on a site reference removing rust from tow chains and tools and the folks on there swear by it. It wasn't real clear about how much to mix with what amounts.
Anyone do this?
One thing that wasn't covered on the other site was preservation of the cleaned item. There was also info...
Will let you know. I haven't start that dreaded part of the inventory yet. I was thinking of opting for a tooth extraction without any pain meds rather than deal with that.
No pics because my kid max'd out the data on the wireless for the month.
I made huge progress on the inventory over the last few days. Found a few issues that need corrected which almost exclusively consisted of individual components of the wrong manufacturer. I also figured some sets...
