I've tried the NAPA P.N. that is discussed elsewhere on this forum, but it did not work well. Slightly too wide causing it to not seat into the groove correctly. Could not stop it from leaking no matter how many times I tried. I ended up buying a 5 pack from Green Mountain for around $15 or so...

Is there any specific information on the Diode replacement to repair a bad alternator that anyone can point me towards? I have a bad one in my parts stash that I would like to repair to make it a good one. I'd like to read up on it... If not I'll just tear into it someday.

Finally got around to messing with this thing again yesterday. I took the top cover off and got the governor spring out of the way so I could poke at the governor assy. to ensure it was free and not bound up somehow. Reassembled and confirmed that I could control the engine speed using the...

Hello, Have you done any service on the machine? Fuel filters, oil etc? and have you tested it under a load? I'd be curious to see if the frequency swing starts sooner and is more pronounced when under a load. My first thought is a fuel supply issue which will probably be exaggerated if you test...

Yes, they are about $75 for the NPT style, but... since you have some EMT tube in there too, the Universal flex joints for a car exhaust are only about $25 for the size you would need. Could weld it or clamp it in. But, as long as you're aware of the risk.... Regardless, you have an enviable...

That's one nice looking set up! I can't tell from the pictures, but since you say you're getting a lot of vibration in the exhaust at the roof penetration, I assume you have it piped solid from the muffler to the roof? If so, that might eventually cause too much stress on the system and...

You can ohm out the wires on the sensor and if it appears the sensor is showing no fuel, try loosening the large nut on the top of the sensor flange. This will allow you to rotate the float arm slightly left and right to make sure the lower float ( low fuel ) isn't touching the side of the tank...

Good advise Guy.... wish I read it before I installed it! I put it in yesterday and it runs! but I've got 2 issues to contend with. There is a very big fuel leak when running ( possibly an injector line seal as you mentioned ( I didn't know they only go in 1 direction ) The good news is that I...

You can also try unplugging the white connector on the back of the fault light panel. Unplugging it will actually bypass all the fault safety features.

Well, the pump is rebuilt. Made a few mistakes along the way that caused me to have to back up a couple steps, fix, then continue. But all in all it was pretty easy. As soon as I get time I'll reinstall and see if she will fire up!. The stuck plungers were without a doubt the reason it wasn't...

Also, we need background history on the machine. Has it ever worked correctly for you? What was it doing that caused you to replace the AC regulator? Was it doing the exact same thing before you replaced the AC regulator? When you loose AC output do you know how long it takes to get power...

I assume you mean 65Hz then zero, not 95Hz. Can you give more detail on the replacement AC regulator? Was the machine dead then you replaced it with a used regulator? Or do you have any history on the regulator at all? The 65hz. then zero scenario sounds like a possible bad connection. do...

So what I found is that the weight basket is a newer "1-piece" replacement, not the original with the flexible ring riveted on the back. So more evidence that someone has been in there before. The plungers were stuck tight in the head. It took 2 days of soaking in carb clean and 140 psi. of air...

Agreed! If you're in there now, just go ahead and replace it all. That hose eventually fails on pretty much every machine. I would also take the extra 15 minutes to remove the fuel tank cover and run the new return line all the way back to the tank. Look at it like this... all the hose in...

If you have trouble again, while the pumps are out, see if the far end of the rack moves up and down. I believe there is a plastic cap molded onto the end of the rack that rides in a passage in the back of the block. I would be curious to see if that plastic has deteriorated and fallen off...

Good work! I know swapping the CVT assy is not fun, but you got through and persistence has paid off for you! Glad I was able to help a fellow Green Machine owner.....

I'm also not a big fan of U-ship. It works, but have found some sneaky shippers who will send you a question then once you give a reply they can email you a quote directly, that way the competition does not see their quote so previous bidders don't go any lower. And it winds up being cheaper to...

Ok folks... I made good progress last night and now I have a couple questions for the experts... First off, I took the pump apart and as I got closer to the piston head and rollers started to see more and more burnt fuel "Gunk" The head is covered in what you normally find inside an old...

Hello, So are pumps 1,2 and 3 coming out of the rack and 4 stays in? Also, when this happens do you notice it right at startup, such that it had popped out when the machine shut off last? Or has it ever popped out while the machine was running? Sounds like either the rack is still bent ( if...

Well, the IP is out of the machine and I've been looking over the -34TM in preparation to rebuild it. Before I removed the IP I took the transfer pump end cap off again and I think someone may have been in there at some point a possibly damaged the end cap and thrust plate slightly. There is a...
