I recently have been tinkering with my M1152A1 and noticed that the wastegate doesnt move. I have pulled on the little rod back and forth with a good amount of force and no movement. In addition, I don’t hear the thing whining or spooling, but it’s loud and possible can’t hear it. It doesn’t blow black smoke and appears to run fine. Just want it to be working as it should. Also it didn’t come with a dog house cover so it probably has been sitting in the elements for years.
My questions are:
1. Can the wastegate actuator be frozen/rusted in place? Govplanet purchase from Yermo.
2. Is the waste gate closed or open when not running? (Probably rusted in place from sitting)
3. If the actuator is stuck can I simply take it off and throw some PB blast on it, getting moving and move on? Or buy a new one?
4. If I need a new one what is the part number (searches have lead me to ones with vacuum line pictured)
Thanks in advance for the help. I would be lost without this forum haha
