Before I take the plunge to get my injection pump rebuilt for my M5, I would like to know how these engines (the 336's) are? The good, the bad....
It seems that a lot of people just dont like them. I know that MM was known for a great LP engine, and I see a lot more gassers than diesels in the smaller machines, especially the U-302 and jetstars. Were the small ones not so desirable?
I remember the M5 diesel as being a very good runner, but kind of a bear to start compared to, say, our 4010. Maybe the pump was on its way out, or maybe they just simply don't start so great. We have a Case 830 diesel that runs great but needs a little encouragement just like the MM.
I guess my question is why are the small MM diesels less popular?
