zim Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Does your return line come in above the level in the tank or below ? It should be at the bottom. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Ditto , a return above the fluid level will introduce air bubbles into the oil, especially on a smaller tank ,with the potential flow rate you have tank capacity will be relevant too cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 have you set your OCV properly ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Nige is right, the ocv could also be hassling. When does it happen - spooling out / spooling in / doing nothing ? If it's only on spooling out (or in if you've plumbed the ocv in backwards) then that could be a possible problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will4x4 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 ocv is fine guys after all this is happening before i pull any levers anyway. return pipe is lower.. i will have a play this weekend i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will4x4 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 new suck pipe and noise has gone.. winch works perfectly.. the only prob is between a certain rev range there is still a lot of noise coming from the tank / levers (even when i do not use the winch) just with the pump engaged. no bubbles at all now. any ideas? only thing i can think of is valve block on levers. FYI - Winch is a Saley with a 14inch drum on a north offroad bumper (if i was buying it again you can just get a 14.5inch drum on a north offroad bumper if you are interested) - its bloody brilliant pulls my truck up a slope with all the brakes on hard and does not miss a beat or even slow down... free spool is great and flicking betwen high and low is easy - fast is fast.
