If it's not your exciter wire it could be your voltage regulator. Thats the back plate held on by, I think 6 small screws. After going through 3 mil altrmators on 2 trucks I swapped both to Delco 21si 24v alternators for about $100 each. No problems since. You will need very minor modifications...
Sounds like your starter switch or starter solenoid is stuck on. Disconnect batteries and check continuity. Check between terminals on switch and between the large terminals on the solenoid.
The only problem you'll have is rusted flange bolts. I suggest soaking with penetrating oil over night before starting. Other than that it's inlet, outlet, oil tube and 4 bolts. And like Tabor says, it's a great time to tap threads for a pyrometer. Even if you don't install one now you can keep...
When I did mine I just put them together. Checking the gaps probably refers to the distance between the stud and the inside of the stud hole. Making sure they are all even.
Does the shutoff have power to it? I dont know anything about that system but it sounds like your gauge shorted out and blew a fuse/power source that powers both. Good luck.
I have always used 90w mineral gear oil. Napa has 5 gal buckets for I think $60. Good luck with your decision. I don't see an end in sight for this thread.
Nice. Were those KLR650's? My brother had one, they really soak up the bumps as I remember it. I just picked up an old 3 wheeler I've been having a blast on. Sure wish I had 40 acres. Definetely getting a lot done on all the vehicles also.
Sounds really good. Am I correct in assuming the thing with the impeller is the injection pump? It must have been sitting for 20+ years. Good luck with it. Stay safe out there in Cali.
After I bypassed fdc on my last deuce, I turned the the fuel down too much and it got to a point where it wouldn't start or idle without giving throttle even when warmed up. Turned it up a few flats and it worked fine. Make sure you install a pyrometer now or soon after you start messing with...
Is this it?
