Hi We have had the same issue as your self, problem was found to be inside the dizzy is a big piece of Bakelite that holds a bolt that feeds the condenser and points. we found it was juicy inside and the Bakelite had split on the back edge creating a short. Upon this we also found burnt points and rotor arm so also replaced the condenser. All is fine now and have done some miles without a cough! Worth a look at and hope it helps? Regards Michael

GMC CCKW 353 B2 - headlight help needed!
MICHAEL01 replied to Peter4456's topic in American Vehicles
Hi In a headlight unit is two light bulb elements. To give you an idea of bulb or electrical issues have you tried switching the high beam to low beam or visa versa? If neather works then the odds are earths, thermal cutout blocks, or a dry joint? Your multimeter is the best tool to sort issues like this out, disconnect bulbs when trying to ring circuits out as this can give you false readings. -
Diamond t 980-981 Hercules DFXE
MICHAEL01 replied to wwiitrucks's topic in Transporters & Wreckers (All Nations)
Hi All l thought l would add my 2 cents worth! l cant help you guys with the crankshaft situation but l do have a fair bit of the Diamond t 980/981 parts. IE ( Nos steering Box, Major and minor injector pump repair kits, l think a set of 6 new con rods, 2 complete injector pumps, injectors ect. all for sale if l can help, to be honest l do not have a clue to half of it but l know the 969A parts very well. Somebody to try is a guy under Hercano Engineering(put that in Google and he has a website and contact number), your after Jerry. hes in America and specializes only in old Hercules engines. when l restored my Hercules Rxc engine he had everything. Postage could be expensive from America for a DFXE crank though! hope of help. -

Hi All Thought l would post this up? l have at least 6 of these cut out switches in Nos boxes, they are dated 1951/1952 and have the british arrow with C.A.V marked on them. My thoughts are they look to be off a British vehicle of that period? can anyone please shed some light to what they do and what they are from? if any one needs one let me know? -
