1994 M1097A1 Green Beast is now running. She would just crank and crank after I installed the missing check valve and fuel line into the fuel filter cannister, was preparing to start loosening injectors but found an older thread by Tobash that the fuel injection system needs quite a bit to purge the air from the system. So I tried to start it up again today, after about 4 cranks of 15 seconds each she started up, ran a bit rough at first but after some billowing smoke, smoothened right out.
I had installed A2 teardrop shackles on the frame extensions when I had the damaged hood off, while swapping out the curbside damaged frame extension and replacement A0 winch bumper plate.
I'm going to rewire the winch remote control from the A0 type in the control box on frame extension to the Amphenol panel mount in the driver's compartment.
