1976 diesel F-29296
What does it take to fit a 555 into a Bird that was set up for V8 engines? Some
pictures of the engine area would be interesting.

Change the fuel filter, diesel grows algae. The genset is taking more work as it is a gas unit in mine. Carb was all gummed up and still surges. Might need the carb replaced, but it does run and make volts. > > Jason > > > On May 20, 2011, at 7:19 PM, wbostow wrote: > > > > > > > Neat! Was that a diesel engine?

Blue Bird used specific materials and components that would indicate factory or not. As to the engine working, My '72 prototype sat neglected for 6 years and started right up with only a new battery. Have put a couple hundred miles on it already. > > > > > > Jason > > > > > > > > > On May 18, 2011, at 12:03 PM, wbostow wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > Help!
