We just want take a moment to thank all our friends on Ih8mud for your contributions to the build of our home on wheels Nulla. She comes from the Nalla Abor Plains in Australia so we call her Nulla. Ih8mud continues to be our go to site as we drive around the world. We are currently in Africa...

I have a 1983 HJ 47 with a 12ht engine. I am trying to check if the brake booster is getting enough vacuum. Do you know the function of the component on the picture? There is a hose connected to it coming from the vacuum pump of the alternator and a second hose connected is coming from the brake...

Mine is 12 volts

Thank you just to confirm. I will put a screw driver between post #1 and post #2 to jump the solenoid. Thank you. I assume if this does not work I have a failed starter. Thank you
