Another no-start problem: Pull your filters and see if they are full. If down to around half, then it is a fuel supply problem. The fuel lines on the MLVW are pretty cheap and usually pretty old. They break down and will suck air.

Best thing to do is go to any trucking or hose place, and get re-usable fittings along with the hydraulic hoses to replace the original fuel lines.

I don't know why they did not run a steel line for most of the fuel line, and a decent quality line where flexing would occur. Oh well, we still got 37 years out of them.
