Bandit playing up

[tomtrees]

Whooo Thanx for all the feed back everyone.

 

The machine is 3 years old. I think the engine was fitted in the states.

 

I have only 2 wires out of the solenoid and it seems to be sprung. Surprised yours isnt the same as mine Dean?

 

I could put a pull string on it to stop, but the emergency stop button then wont work and more important for me the oil pressure safety cut off.

 

The other thing I noted is the volt meter has stopped working.

 

Yesterday it was on idle and then stopped dead and that is how it has been before. I new what is was.

I tested the old one quickly on a good 12V battery putting the live and earth on in the different directions for current flow.

All three of the old ones work on the bench but not on the machine. How I am lost:hmmmm2:

1) How exactly are you testing them ?

2) Could be the problem is elsewhere as I was alluding to and Dean said.

 

Whereaway are you ?

If you wish pm me your number and I'll call tomoz and talk you through it

Estops are linked to the solenoid Check them, put wires together and try that. Had same on my 75 chippers

You wouldnt Adam and eve it. I have done it. Behind the control box hidden in lots of wires is a fuse that runs between the Volt meter and the over ride box. Which was damaged.

 

I can now also hear the primmer fuel pump ticking when I press the over ride button to start, a sound i remember i havent hear for a long time.

 

So I got three spare fuel stop solenoids now too

 

BTW when you screw back in the solenoids make sure you dont forget the locking wash because the screw is other wise to long and rests on an internal spring and you are in for a surprise that you wont forget when you start up. It involves lots of black smoke.

 

Thax every one for help it kept me looking and i would have given up a long time ago with out it. :thumbup:
