Will arrive Tuesday. My biggest enemy on these toys is finding time on the weekends between home improvements before winter, and daylight. Gotta love the time every year when I leave for work in the dark, and come home in the dark.
Yup, all the way out (shaft comes out further than on my 803As... so I thought I actually pulled it TOO far). Same issue at idle speed too (though thats not a good determining factor... just an observation).
So I got a couple of hours to play today... wired up (1) new Facet pump (with suppressor), and wouldn't you know it, she ran!
What I determined after surprising myself today, was that the throttle cable on this one seemingly needs to be adjusted or replaced (pulling out and locking is fine, but...
I assumed the unit would be running, as it had 5 hours on it since the rebuild... foolish assumption by a newbie at these things. Oh well... should be a lifetime unit once I am done with it.
I had looked in the wiki actually previously, but each listed model needed some sort of adaptation to be correct. I just bought 2 of the OEM jobs. This Tier 2 is suddenly costing me more than I anticipated...
All other Facet golds require modification (or reducer/enlarging bushings) right? If it were your money, would you go with the OEM with in-line EMI, or one of the alternate builds without, but with bushings?
A touch easier to swallow than the OEMs at about $200 through some marine outfits. It appears that I would lose the filtration aspect in going with this style, over the Facet 480517E. How have you found these to perform in real world?
So I cut out all three suppressors, and made a shunt cable to test all three input lines to each. Nothing. I then tested each back to the positive terminal that goes up to the starter, and none of the three made any additional noises to indicate they were running. This was at both the Prime and...
I answered my own question... the gauge should be 16 for these particular wires. Just need to see if a Lowes/HD has any nice waterproof connector/splice accessories.
Stupid question... but wouldn't I have to cut the suppressor out first to accomplish this? In looking at the pumps, where the wire enters each has no way of disconnecting that I see. Before I just start snipping away... also whats the gauge of the wire used on this circuit (so I know what to...
The connections are seemingly fine and tight. Never know what happened before I got it though... so its possible some jamoke shorted something out and blew the whole line of them.
As I dont hear any pumps running though... is it possible that ALL THREE pumps have failed at this suppressor? **** unit was rebuilt in 07 and has had 5 hours put on it before I got it. I am figuring something else is causing this. Maybe a bad ground or something.
I hope to get some time this...
Ok so I got out of work early today and farted around with it. When its in the prime position, its not making any sounds like my 803s do (actual pumps running and priming), or any clip I have heard on youtube.
So I think the rear pump is bad, as it causes the breaker to trip when hooked up. It...
