HI Thought that I would amuse you with a tale of woe from this afternoon. After not running the M8 for a month due to the heat (who wants to voluntarily ride...
Dean ... I know the feeling. ... Yoo too huh? I no longer leave petrol in the tank. This modern stuff seems to be far more vaporific than the good old stuff...
Hi here are some answers. ... I am not sure....some of both I believe. ... yes...could be pump.... ... yes, but I think all the lines are new stuff ... it is a...
When I was restoring my M8 I faced the same concerns of using an NOS bladder... Some owners I spoke to said they had been using one for ten years without any...
Hi Dean, could be fuel evaporation, you said its been really hot weather too. One remedy for this is to wrap asbestos bandage around your fuel lines in the...
Hi James, Thanks for the thoughts. I hope to climb into, around, and under the vehicle this weekend to explore the problem. The fuel pump is a rebuild that...
Well, after being stranded on the side of the road last weekend in the M8, we finally had enough time to start the diagnosis of the cause of stalling. The...
Dean ... Weird. ... These are a very simple carb. Look at your idle and run jets. But it would be very unusual for both to be blocked. As this carb really...
Hi Dean, check out your throttle slave cylinder, the rubber may have failed. As Doug said, it could also be your head gasket, although I have found M8's still...
Hi James, Thanks for your thoughts. The throttle system is working without problems. Whatever happened happened suddenly. One minute we were cruising at 25...
Ok M8 docs, I just took off the inspection port on the carb and had a flood of fuel pour out. Per the TM, this is not as it is supposed to be. If fuel pours...
After thinking about all the suggestions...and discussing this with persons with far more knowledge of carbs than I have (not hard to know more than I when it...
Don't know if Brian still has a carb, but Brian Asbury in Canada had one at the East Coast Rally in May. Might also check Phil Nelson in Ohio, he might have...
Some friends of mine have just bought an ex Bosnian M18 Hellcat, and that had the exact same problem, the float was jammed and so fuel flooded in and she would...
Hi James, I found a rebuild kit this morning. It should reach me in time for a "weekend" project. I also found a copy of the Zenith Card TM..which is also on...
Well, I spent some high quality time with my M8.....cleaning and rebuilding a Zenith down draft carb....and it was time well spent. The carb went back on the...
In the course of a recent discussion with an AFV restorer I brought up my need for interior decals for my M8. He told me that although he had used decals in...
Can't attest to other vehicles. I have seen some with decals and they looked fine to me. However, I now have in my possession two hulks (9008 - C and 11074...
From what I have seen in my M8 (all my original markings were still there) that paper labels were used, and also painted on letters. Here is a photo showing...
I have both an M8 and M18 and I can verify that theh orignal markings were decals. They had a shellac coating over them to prevent them from rubbing off. If...
I forgot to add that on the inside of the eletrical boxes for M8s and M18's were paper stickers - very fragile, thin paper, that was a photo of exactly what...
Hi James, The photos seem to have been removed...at least I cannot find them anywhere. Would you be so kind as to post them in the Photos section of the g136...
Dan, Having photos of the decals on original M8's posted on this G136 site would be a very valuable resource for the group. If you have electronic versions...
