    Ok... now park it again for 2 years, and start over...
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    OK, so the fun began of try to start this thing (priming) first it from the tank to the filters. That stupid little hand pump on the fuel pump is so close to the frame I wore a nice hole in my knuckle. POS. Finally got it to squirt out of both filters. Then across to the other side to the injector pump, squirted into my gatorade bottle, good! Now hook it backup to the injector pump, now start cranking right? Make sure I got power to solenoid to valve is open. Crack injector lines.......crank......crank.......I could only get about 8 or 10 (maybe) good turns/tries before wearing the battery down. Then I'd have to pull it walk it to the shop put it on the charger wait a few days and try it again. This went on for about two weeks. I primed the return line too. Hey, I was doing all this on the fly, THEN the books arrived...............the "operators manual" ..........what was I doing wrong? Uhhhhhhh, NOTHING! and thenn it started chuggin this one day! Bam! she fired up and I got all lines bled out and she's purrin like a kittin! YEE-FUCKIN HAW!

    Well..........there is one little thing in the book that's kinda difficult when you are doing this little operation. It says, "with your foot on the clutch" and just how the fuck was I supposed to do that? Well it supposed to take all the load off the motor because it's turning the tranny or something. Anyway I got the damn thing started, I ran through the whole thing while it was running crackin this line and that wiping diesel here and there till all was GTG.

    Also during the running back and forth process I managed to preserve the battery compartment, it was in ruff shape. Get to it while you can.







    Next will be how I adjusted the steering clutches and brakes........................
    Be safe.............the night is your friend.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
