Electronic Ignition problem

Hello everyone,
I went out to drive Fiona today and she wouldn't start. Double checked power to ignition and fuel to carburetor. I have both. I did notice that the last time I drove it I left the ignition switch ON. Will that fry the electronic ignition components or coil?
Thanks,
Dennis

Exhaust leak

Hello all, I have owned my M-37 (Fiona) for 5 years and have been plagued by an exhaust leak. I had the exhaust manifold machined and replaced all the studs about 3-years ago. I used the washers and nuts purchased from Vintage Powerwagons and although when I hear it leaking, I can tighten the nuts a...

Fuel problem

Hello All & Happy New Year... The last time I had Fiona out, she was purring as usual, for about 15 miles then died and would not restart. Everything about it pointed to fuel, so a couple of days after I got her home, she started, and I attempted to drive it but only made it about 100 yards befo...

Re: Exhaust leak

Sorry, I know it’s at the manifold, not sure of intake or exhaust.

Exhaust leak

Hey guys, I have an exhaust leak on my truck. Not sure exactly where, but did replace the gasket about a year ago for the same problem. At that time I had the manifold surfaced to ensure no warping. Anyone experience this or have any recommendations?

Re: Trailering with Uhaul

LOL!! I understand completely. After my post earlier, I measured the height of the M-37 front bumper and the rear of my tow vehicle and had already decided that it would not work without considerable parts/equipment of adjust for the difference, plus mounting plates, etc... I can rent a 7500 GWVR tr...

Re: Trailering / Towing

Expanding on the whole towing issue, how about flat towing an M-37? Does anyone have experience with that? I'm talking short distances, perhaps up to 50 miles. I can purchase a tow bar rated high enough to handle the M-37 alot cheaper than I can a car hauler... just thinking...
Thanks,
Dennis

Re: Trailering with Uhaul

Thanks again for the ensight... All points were very important and as a result, I probably avoided a catastrophe :shock: It is so nice to be able to query the masses before doing something stupid!!
Thanks to all,

Re: Trailering with Uhaul

Thanks to all who commented... Especially the liability discussion, I hadn't fully considered that. My son-in-law has a car hauler trailer but and I believe its GVWR is 7500 lbs., and I would have to pull it with a Nissan Armada. I'm beginning to think that perhaps I should consider that famous quot...

Trailering with Uhaul

Good Morning All, Does anyone have any experience towing the M37 with a standard U-haul car hauler? Their website states a maximum load of 5290 lbs. and my M37 without a winch is listed as 5687 lbs. I'm wondering if they build in a safety factor of 5 or 10%? Sure don't want to have a breakdown on th...

Re: Fuel additives ?

I went today to O'Reilly's Auto and found a product that states it "restores" old fuel and helps dissolve and clean varnish residue from the fuel system. It is called Star Brite Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment... I guess I'll find out if it is worth anything...
Have a great week!

Fuel additives ?

I didn't drive my truck much through the winter months and after starting and running her for a while yesterday, the exhaust had that "old gas" smell to it. I know that fuel will do that when it sits for some time. My question to the group is... Is there a fuel additive that will help in r...
