Rather than trying to use a rod end I'd suggest looking at a correct machine, then replicating the original linkage which consists of a flat bar with a slot cut in it. This allows the solenoid to move further than the throttle lever needs because you will quickly burn out the solenoid if it is...

I've got a Lull 6K Highlander II that used to have the same issue. I tried everything, even made up a couple split aluminum blocks with grease fittings to sandwich around the cables ( after removing a small section of casing ) thinking maybe I could force grease inside the cable, but no luck. I...

The orientation of the head before inserting the metering sleeve does not matter. The sleeve just slides up and down on the plunger by way of the throttle assembly's pin. As long as the dot is facing up, nothing else matters. On the gear line mark, all you need to do is put the plunger guide...

The plunger guide will set the orientation of the plunger. The guide only goes on in 1 orientation ( plunger has 3 flat sides and 1 curved side ) and the guide is marked which face goes up. Same with the metering sleeve. goes in with the dot facing up. By UP they mean towards the tip of the...

The delivery valve spacer is there,,,, barely! The blackish remnant of a paper thin plastic ring you see on the delivery valve holder is the spacer! It is a very thin useless piece of $50 plastic that simply helps hold the delivery valve in place while assembling the IP. It is helpful when...

If you take the original IP and fill it with acetone or Berryman's B12 carb cleaner, let it sit several days, then try pressing in on the cap that rides on the cam to move the plunger. if the plunger frees up, turn the gear and see if the plunger is free to rotate as well. Also try the throttle...

On the voltage issue are you truly getting 140V or is that just what the gage says?? If it's just what the gage says but you are in fact getting 240ish at the lugs, the issue may be dirty contacts in the AM/VM switch. You can spray contact cleaner into the switch through the small holes in the...

Cam lobe is correctly positioned at PC on #1 compression stroke. As for the "missing items" you aren't missing them, I believe they are still inside the head. The 3 parts are a large dia., thin copper ring, then a 3/16" thick steel disc, then a thin fiber sealing washer. The copper rings and...

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you Rick, but wouldn't that be BDC on cyl #1? The intake valve closes somewhere around the bottom of the stroke, then rotating another ~90 degrees after the intake closes brings the piston up to the top of the compression stroke. Now it's at TDC.

Agreed, don't put dye in the fuel yet. at least not that same color.... it will only add to the confusion if you start leaking OIL the day after putting dye in the fuel!

In that picture the valves on cyl 1 ( right side in picture.) are not correct. Do this... determine which valve is intake ( left ) and which is exhaust ( right ) looking from the IP side. rotate the motor until the intake opens and then closes. Continue turning clockwise about 75 degrees (...

I am going to hang my ass out here. The few times I have seen this crop up, someone ordered a meter, and the manufacturer put a coil between the two posts, Its a shorting coil. Before installation, its supposed to be removed before hooking up the two wires. What happens when the coil is not...

Is the C-Clamp an 8", 10", or 12"? I'd like to just get one prepped. 10" will do it. An eight might be too close for comfort, depending how deep your socket is.

Not sure where I got them but found them for $15 a few years ago. I also seem to remember a place called Race Mart having them a long time ago.

Here's the socket and clamp. As you can see, it was a used and abused old clamp that I had already cut and extended ( and bent ) for another side project, but it was the perfect size for this task!

Definitely not coolant, it behaves totally different when you drip it on the paint. ;)

Yup, they work on exactly the same principle are a pair of valve spring retainer, just 20X smaller and 100X harder to grab with ANYTHING! The trick I found was to pick them out with something magnetized, like a small pick etc. just don't drop one and loose it in the mess on and around the...

I could take a picture when I get home from work tonight. Essentially it works on the same idea as a valve spring compressor, only with a screw clamp rather than a squeeze clamp. In the Ambac service manual they basically show a tube with a hole cut in the side being used in an arbor press to do...

Great news that you can fabricate things. I will send info to your email, but for others here, the most helpful tool I made was to take a 5/8" deep socket and cut out about 1/3 of it, essentially creating a slot all the way down 1 side ( looks like an oxygen sensor removal socket ) then welded...
