I have had the same problem. I purchaced my m35 from DRMO and changed all
flilters and lubercants. about one month later the wurging prolem started
along with loss of power. If I let the truck rest awhile (shut it down for
an hour or so) it ran fine for another hour.
I finally pulled the fuel filters and found them almost crushed. although
the fuel was clean. I eventually had to drain and clean the fuel tank to
stop this problem.
I will be at Helen GA. this saturday in a black dodge P/U with a desert tan
commo shelter on the back selling assorted nos m35 stuff.
Hope this helps
Emmett
