What was the issue with your washer bottle, and how did you fix it? I have a 939 series, and the metal threaded hold-down ring on the washer bottle pops off when the jar is pressurized. The vent in the top plate is clear and working.
I'll start a new thread on this, but if your situation...
You may have one or several bad batteries. Load test them, and check specific gravity of each cell. A fully charged battery will register 12.8V after the surface charge is removed. This equates to a cell specific gravity of 1.26.
On a load test, the battery is put under a short yet heavy...
Thanks for the detail and pictures. A broken EGT probe (thermocouple) located pre-turbo would not go through your compressor, but rather through the turbine housing.
I'm also interested in the next step for increased airflow in regards to lowering EGT, such as the BatMo wheel on our stock HX40...
Have an M925A2. Purchased and need to replace the windshield gaskets/seals. These are the ones which are 3 sided (like a square "U"), and seal the moveable windshield glass frame when the windshield glass panel is in the closed position.
Basic question is if you can sneak it into the groove...
As a reference, my M925A2 is at 65-67mph @ 2200rpm, pedal on the floor. No mods yet. You should be able to achieve the same. The shift points and governed RPM are close together, so that makes it a little difficult to clearly see which is the culprit. Check your max RPM in neutral, you...
Check obvious things like thermocouple polarity (red is usually "-" on thermocouples), C/F setting on display if selectable, is the gauge a 12V or 24V unit, and which did they ship you, is the gauge set to the compatibility of the thermocouple (J type, K type, etc....).
300F is not correct...
Correct. As shipped, the hitch side plates reach to the center of the top set of bumper holes/bolts. It is really a matter of laziness, as one could drill 4 additional holes through the hitch side plates and frame (2 per side) and be done with it. I'm going to cut 5/16" washers in half, place...
You should have seen the neighbors faces as we flew over at 400' with both side doors open, aiming the door guns at their dogs running the yard. Nothing happened of course, but what a scene to be had.
I'll be attending the OH show with Cleatus (WildChild467). He'll be the one wearing the shirt with a "Kick Me" sign on his back.
Is there any way I can beg somebody to bring a 5 ton winch level wind and tensioner? I'm trying all I can to not have to pay $600 from a vendor, but may have no...
What you are feeling is correct. That is the governor pulling out fuel at the governed RPM as it is supposed to. On the 8.3, that is in the range of 2000-2300rpm. To overcome this, buy and install an aftermarket governor spring kit (GSK). This can raise the governor de-fueling up to around...
Not sure. Difficult to tell on 4" pipe, and I don't want to guess and be wrong. All I can say is the brass ring threaded on very well, I used sealant with it, and the entire thing seals up very nicely.
Sorry that pic is posted sideways, kids were crying outside so I just hit ok. The 2" receiver tube measures 28", 29", and 30" up off the ground as on flat level pavement for my M925A2 with 14.00R20 single tires. 29" being the mid-point of the actual receiver tube, and 28" / 30" being the...
Side plate pic below. I have the side plates mounted in this position in order to place the receiver tube at the height and for-aft location that it is. I am also lazy and wanted to use the 4 frame bolts and holes on each side to mount it. The side plates have a curved lip to strengthen for...
FO Bro!!! Thanks for the help last night, could not have accomplished all we did on the 9 without you. Welcome to MI, we're lucky to have ya'.
You'll run out of fuel in something you drive one day, and you'd better do all you can to make sure I never find out about it!
