    starter motor

    Are you sure its the starter? I thought I had the same problem 2 weeks ago, a loud high pitch shrill especially on revving. Turns out a washer from a bracket was rubbing on the alternator impeller fan. Just a thought.

    advice needed clutch bleeding

    Ok, solved! Newton or Murphy was right on. I crawled under the truck for 20 minutes and turned the slave so the bleeder is at the top. A lot easier then I thought it was going to be, and the when I pulled the slave out no extra parts came rolling out :-) It bled good using just the hand vacuum...

    advice needed clutch bleeding

    I wonder if the PO "back-bled" from the nipple, and that is way it is on the bottom. Searching the net -I have read of success for some owners to ramp up the front end or hang their truck from a tree. hehe I think I am going to park on a hill, and try that, then if I still can't get it I will...

    advice needed clutch bleeding

    Thanks for all the replies. Oxides, you mentioned the slave is installed wrong. I noticed this too, I have never changed a clutch slave, can I unbolt it, and rotate it 180 degrees?

    no, nothing of pressure coming out with the 2 person attempt. i will leave the peddle down for 24 hrs and report back. Is it possible I have the adjustment wrong for the peddle and plunger part?

    advice needed clutch bleeding

    I just replaced my clutch master cylinder. The peddle has no resistence, I don,t think it is bled properly. I have tried the 2 person method, one pump and one bleed, I have also a hand vacuum pump that I can get a 15 PSI vacuum with. Nothing is coming close to getting a resistive peddle. By the...

    Replacement Zenith carburettor

    The spindle wore on my original Zenith allowing petrol to leak onto the manifold and engine, so I replaced it with another Zenith. Ran great at first, then it slowly progressed to dieseling when shutdown, black smoke, no power under load. Took me some time to find out why, but the piece that is...
