warped carb base?

Makes a huge difference on the 109's. my brother has them fitted to his and ride is much better than mine on the road, as well as much better off road.... Planning on switching mine over when the funds allow, hopefully with the frame swap..

talking about turning over a new leaf.... where is Slob?

James... the yellow lever will not stay down in low range... from what he is discribing everything is fine.. he just needs to remember that low range=4wd... so the yellow lever is irrelevant... he said that in low range both front and back were spinning..

If you are in low range then you are in 4wd... there is no 2wd option for low... here is a breakdown... High range... yellow knob up, then you are 2wd... yellow knob down, 4wd. low range... always 4wd. the yellow knob will not stay down in low range because it is already in 4wd.

I think that it probably is the rings.. but a quick check of the breather system might be in order.... if the breather is clogged, pressurising the crankcase, it might be pushing oil into places it is not supposed to. As well the loss of power might be something simple as bad injectors or...

:eek: Just watch your spelling...:D :D

Rocky Mountain products here in Canda have a slick conversion kit I am told.. look on Wise Owls website, they are the main supplier... www.wiseowlparts.com . Send Mark an email and he will sort you out...

:D Welcome from a Canadian...:D

Where in the states are you? I am in Canada, and I think that you might be better off trying to find a local one, or at least one that has already been imported, even if it needs a little work. Most things on the Series truck you can do yourself, and usually it they do not need a lot to get...

Was thinking for a simpler solution.... is your filter clogged, are the egr filters clean... I remember someone having issues with the oil filler cap staying on, and it turned out to be plugged filters on the egr system... might want to check them...

If you want the series III as a daily driver I say go for it.... I have a 1972 series III with a 2.25 petrol as my only car... If you have to do much interstate driving then I would suggest the RoverDrive overdrive by wiseowl, seems to be the strongest around and not nearly as noisy as a...

Are your rings gone? The blow by might be pressurising the crankcase.

Second solution,buy a $25 starter handle, cancel the gym membership....

My series III has that spring... It goes one the bolt inside the housing... it holds the oil filter element to the engine... take the bolt, put on the washer, then the housing, then the spring then insert the oil filter element.... don't forget to replace the o-ring..
