Have an old wood chipper/shredder don't know the
Magneto coil adjustment is normally about 1 newspaper thickness for a guide. The spark plugs for these small engines usually are preset in about the right range, & I rarely gap then when I work on the small engines. Also check your carb to make sure its clean while you are at it. Rick
5 HP troy bilt chipper sherdder will not rev up under load
Either or do one of two things if the motor runs pretty well Start the engine and run it full throttle. Once there if it has a high speed jet turn the screw in to start with until the engine stumbles a bit and then turn it back about a half turn. When you turn it in you should here the engine peak out. .If it is blowing black smoke out the exhaust it means the high speed screw is to far out so turn it in until it smooths out.If the engine smooths out then you have cured the problem. Good luck.
Won't start
check the fuel line it could be pluged up. never leave gas in any thing when you put it up for the winter.
Fix the self-propelled function (MTD, Yardman, Troy-Built, others)
I just purchased a used Yardman 24A-203C701 which, as the title states, has similar variants among other brands.
If you remove either hubcap from the pneumatic drive wheels, you may see the drive pawls with thin pieces of nylon (like a wire ty-wrap) sticking out either side. This is what passes for the engagement spring for the pawls. The fix is to remove each pawl and modify them as follows: Remove the nylon piece. On the rear side of the pawl, under the short end which engages the axle shaft, there is a place where you can drill a 1/8" pilot hole. Expand the size to 5/32" (the drill will want to catch on the pawl's metal, so drill carefully) and tap for 8-32 threads. Buy four 8-32 Allen head bolts which are 5/8" long and four 8/32 hex nuts. Using Loc-Tite on the threads, install one Allen bolt and hex nut into the front side of each pawl. When the threads are flush with the rear side of the pawl, tighten the hex nuts to jam the fastener in place. Purchase four small extension springs which just fit over the Allen bolts and which have just enough tension to pull the pawls into engagement with the axle shaft. The machine will then pull with both wheels but can still be turned and even pulled backwards.
Chipper Features
look for in chipping units is the ease with which you can change the size of the discharge screens that control chip size. This allows you to make chips for various landscaping needs.
Chippers and Shredders safety tips
Make sure that the machine has come to a complete stop before removing access panels. When performing maintenance on the machine, shut off the engine, remove the key (if electric start) or temporarily disable the machine.
Always feed material butt-end first. Feed shorter material into the machine by laying it on top of longer material. Do not feed material that you've raked up or scraped off the ground. You should simply place this material on top of the material that you've already chipped, as it may contain dirt and rocks that may damage the chipper. Chippers with dull knives and anvils do not feed well. This becomes a problem with any machine but especially on manual-feed units. If your operator then tries to force the material into the feed shoot, he or she creates a greater danger of slipping and getting too close to the chipper knives.
Do not operate the chipper alone. Always be prepared for a fire or injury by having a fire extinguisher attached to the machine and a first-aid kit handy. It is the operator's responsibility to make sure that flying chips and debris will not harm bystanders.
Have a 1998-99 c-series 863 Bobcat.
The Bobcat 863 is a skid steer loader model manufactured by Bobcat Company, a renowned manufacturer of construction equipment. The 863 model was produced from 1996 to 2003 and was part of the C-Series lineup. Here are some key details about the Bobcat 863:
- Engine: The Bobcat 863 is powered by a diesel engine. The 863 was initially equipped with a Deutz BF4M1011F engine, which is a four-cylinder, turbocharged engine. Later models may have variations in engine specifications.
- Operating Capacity: The operating capacity of the Bobcat 863 depends on the specific configuration and attachments used. However, it typically falls within the range of approximately 1,500 to 2,000 pounds (680 to 907 kilograms).
- Hydraulic System: The 863 features a hydraulic system that powers the loader arms and attachments. It has auxiliary hydraulic ports for connecting various hydraulic-powered attachments, such as buckets, forks, grapples, and hydraulic hammers.
- Controls: The 863 is equipped with joystick controls that allow the operator to maneuver the machine with precision. These controls enable the operator to manipulate the loader arms, drive functions, and auxiliary hydraulics.
- Attachments: The Bobcat 863 is compatible with a wide range of attachments, making it versatile for various applications. Common attachments include buckets for general-purpose loading, forks for material handling, augers for digging, and sweepers for cleaning.
- Safety Features: Like all Bobcat equipment, the 863 is designed with safety in mind. It features safety interlock systems to prevent accidental operation and rollover protection structures (ROPS) to protect the operator in the event of a tip-over.
- Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to keep the Bobcat 863 operating efficiently. This includes routine checks of fluid levels, engine oil, hydraulic system, filters, and tire pressure.
G6 Error code for a Raymond Electric Fork Lift model number EASI-R35TT?
The G6 error code on your Raymond Electric Fork Lift model EASI-R35TT indicates a specific issue. Let's break it down:
F5 Code: The F5 code typically points to an internal VFC (Variable Frequency Controller) fault. This component is crucial for controlling the motor speed and other functions. If the VFC is malfunctioning, it can trigger the F5 error.
6G Code: The 6G code signifies an overtemperature condition related to the lift motor. It indicates that the motor has exceeded safe operating temperatures.
Here are some steps to troubleshoot and address the issue:
Check Grounds: Ensure that all electrical connections and grounds are secure. Sometimes, a loose or faulty ground can cause unexpected errors.
Battery Inspection: Although you mentioned the battery is at 72%, it's essential to thoroughly inspect it. Make sure the battery terminals are clean, and there are no signs of corrosion. A weak battery can lead to various issues.
VFC and Display Verification: Verify that the VFC (Variable Frequency Controller) and the display match the original configuration for this specific truck. If there have been any replacements or swaps, it could affect the error codes. The display holds critical information about the truck's options and settings.
Thermistor and Load Weight: You mentioned that the truck attempts to read load weight even though there's no pressure transducer installed. The 6G code relates to a thermistor (temperature sensor), which might be falsely triggering. Check the thermistor circuit and ensure it's functioning correctly.
Remember that diagnosing forklift issues can be complex, and professional assistance may be necessary. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to a certified technician or the manufacturer for further guidance. Good luck with resolving the issue, and may your forklift be back in smooth operation soon!
Why is my GX160 hard to pull start?
Possibly it overheated with the strain and has partially seized. Put a few drops of light engine oil ointo the cylinder and if that helps with the tightness, look for another engine or a rebuild.
