  1. I'm not sure either, but i did have a thought!, have you had the clutch out?, and if so have you refitted the friction plate the wrong way round, IE fly wheel side out??
  2. Pretty much what I was thinking, if the fork has come off the release bearing there should be a bit of movement 'up and down' if ya like. I find it is a good idea to use a few elastic bands around the fork and bearing to make sure it sits tight whilst being offered up.
  3. Hello Ben, the fork will pull out towards you quite freely, however it should not move all the way in, when pushing it in if it's getting close to hitting the casting you have problems. Have you tried to gently waggle the fork up and down? is there any movement?
  4. Things to check, not trying to teach you to suck eggs mind Power at the glow plugs, don't just rely on the dash light, check it at the plugs, and check the plugs fuel pipes especially sender pipes on the tank, cracks and air getting in? Pump timing?? a few degrees out will make a lot of difference on an auto
  5. I think you are referring to the older cav and simmens pumps, where full throttle would be applied and a quick pull on a 'cold start cable' would trip the excess fuel plunger , which is then only cleared by allowing the engine to rev out a little, a caring driver would usually crank the engine for a few seconds first to get the oil moving, an uncaring driver would just crack it up and rev it flat out I've seen crankshafts that have turned blue from such idiots First thing in the morning do you jump out of bed and run to work, no clothes, breakfast and unbrushed teeth, no didn't think so, you need a stretch and a bit of an amble round the bathroom, stairs, and kitchen, allows your body to warm up a bit, engines are no different, start them on little or no throttle ( read the manual is the best way), and when they go give them just enough so they don't idle irregular, then take it easy for the first few minutes

  7. I very often find these shaft seals will start to leak after pressure washing, or being worked by hand and sometimes will settle down again, sometimes not. The job is easy enough to do and the pumps sits upright ish which works in your favour, if you decide to diy then be careful not to crack the case as you driving out the old brass guide, take notes as you do it or better still take pics for reference.
  8. The metal cap I think your referring too is in fact a needle bearing, removing it will not help!
  9. Or.......... got an old alternator lying around??? may be a electric motor as well...... http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/my-diy-tig-welder-77730.html
  10. Don't set the power to high, on my 170 oxford ( old but reliable ) i go for about 70 / 80 amps, wire speed is higher than when welding mild, nearly half as much again, gas is only a touch more than with mild, make sure the work piece is cleaned immediately before beginning to weld preferably with a ss brush, for some reason the weld will sometimes pop and spit a little before creating a pool, so you may want to start a little further away from the area to weld, don't try to weave just drag the pool along ( quickly), if you can see the wire penetrating deeply you may have air in the mix, either from to much gas flow ( dragging air like a vortex ) or not enough gas, pay attention to what you can hear should sound consistent. The welds you've done actually look quite good, using the steel backer will help with sags and holes, keep it up!
  11. On a similar note try not to wear rigger boots when welding / burning, I had a bad experience a few years back whilst burning the exhaust bolts off a nissan, one of the glowing red hot bolt heads dropped into my right rigger boot, pulling the boot off was a no no as the bolt head was stuck on top of the arch of my foot so i ended up on my back shaking my leg like Bruce forsyth in the mens rooms the bolt dislodged itself only to get caught up in my overalls, which quickly started smoldering , it took many years for the burn to heal, but my overalls were buggered for ever
  12. No we are perfectly normal people
  13. Usually there are two security screws, remove these the box should pull away leaving the one wire and a horse shoe shaped bracket, remove these and put your standard wire to the solenoid as usual If the screws are the type that break off try a small shape chisel to tap them round or 'dig' a little of the plastic away to get a set of grips to it.
  14. I have 5 makita grinders, 2 small 4inch, one with a grinding disc for tight places and one with hard rubber back pad and sanding discs, and 2 5inch, a long handled type for grinding or wire wheel and a shorter thumb swith type again with rubber pad and hard type sanding disc and a 9 inch, usually with a cutting disc on it, they range from 4 to 12+ year old.
  15. Easy start works much better! but start with small doses
