    Hi All Hoping someone can help. after driving the 432 yesterday when i went to stop and switch off ignition she kept going. had to use pedal to stop her .have taken solenoid off and it is the linkage in the pump which is stiff , any ideas how to free it off cheers Ian

    Hi , Well done on sorting fuel problem , however i would be a bit concerned as to why it went out of adjustment in the first place , especially if it was a good runner before hand . I had an abbot pack once which although everything appeared free and had been a good runner, when was started jumped to maximum revs, not a runaway just the pistons in the pump were at the full position . keep up the good work and lets us know how it behaves cheers Ian

    Having got round to fitting new injection pump to my Militant wrecker and got her running, I've discovered the offside air tank has a small hole which is leaking air and not building pressure , any hints on removal and repair . thanks

    Hi , does anyone know how to get more windage on a no 32 scope , is it possible to do without a scope adjustment tool. Thanks Ian

    Just to keep you all informed ,traced fault to a cracked HT lead at the no 1 cylinder at the distributor cap which was giving continual spark to that plug and preventing engine running . Had same fault been on one of my old stollys then plug and HT leads would have been changed first thing but i did not consider that on a recon J60 with less than 1 hour running time.

    Sabre started easily drove out shed and she cut out. have tried fuel ,fitted different carb all to no avail , she tries to start but has a continual missfire , i have traced it to the no1 plug has continual stream of sparks while the rest are sparking at the proper interval. Anyone suggest what would cause this to happen . cheers Ian

    I have 24v at the gear lever wires when i try the start toggle,as the engine junction box is below the fans and impossible to get to in situ i have decided to pull the pack ,it needs the mud cleaned out from the hull anyway and i might find and cure the small hydraulic leak at the same time . will keep you posted as to what the problem is . Thanks for your help Cheers Ian

    Thanks , on this Abbot the inhibitor switch was taken off years ago before i got it and the wires joined , the join appears ok but i will check it before i pull the pack , should there be 24v at that join ?. cheers Ian

    Hi All , Many thanks for all your help and advice , have cleaned DLB solenoid contacts and am getting 24v at the engine services cable at pin A on a test bulb, right at the pack marriage panel. sadly still nothing so am resigned to pull the pack and take starter off and either replace or repair. Thanks Ian
