I got a cover when I purchased my Deuce. I am trying to decide if it is worth repairing. The main thing I noticed is it appears to be taller than standard. A previous owner appears to have drilled holes to hold the side supports up higher to accommodate the tall cover. Anyone know if this is...

This is my first secondary and final fuel filter replacement. I have 2 L540F Luber-finer filters which appear to be a very common design. Looking at the mating surfaces where the filter drops into the canister and contacts the cup (#5 in diagram below), it appears the metal holding the cork...

Since September 1999 I only owned mini-vans. The M35A2 is a nice contrast :) I spent these first few weeks mostly inspecting and doing as much work as I can while it's still above freezing.
