Yea that could work but then you get away from the whole point of doing this, and that is to bypass all of those mechanisms (fuses, fusible links, starter switch, trigger wire, neutral start switch, etc). Your way forces you to still use the key, and just add another solenoid. I don't really...

You could add a secondary solenoid, but you’d have to wire it so it still activates the solenoid on the starter. If you don’t, the gears won’t push forward to engage the flywheel. Activation of the starter solenoid physically pushes the gears into the flywheel so they mesh, then battery power...

Vehicle: 1986 HJ61 12HT Like so many of us I struggled with an intermittent starting issue. We often spend a lot of money replacing the starter switch, relay, glow plug relay, battery, etc. None of which did any good, even after cleaning and polishing up all connections. My starter in my...

Pros: New battery New refrigerant (vehicle has been upgraded from R12 to R134a) New rotors New starter New starter switch New starter relay New brake pads (can't remember if I replaced the brake shoes) New tie rod end and steering damper Entire vehicle frame covered in RP-342 Cosmoline once a...

Yes I plan on doing that tomorrow. And yes it’s been fixed, just required adjustment to accelerator cable. Keep the questions coming.

Price has been put in the header.

I just uploaded some restoration documents to the dropbox - titled "Australia_Restoration." You can see that the vehicle use to be painted white and was repainted to a dark red. All of the full engine rebuild and off-road accessories invoices are in the .pdf as well. The off-road accessories...

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5ebvmm3n356i3lf/AAAKIZ6ug3HrtISmFv2fPdNUa?dl=0 I'll paste some of the restoration documents later once I get them scanned and uploaded. Note that this vehicle is my daily driver so random stuff might be in the pictures and is not yet picture clean for advertising...

Seeing if there might be any interest in my vehicle. Thinking about selling my 86 HJ61 RHD 12HT auto trans. Vehicle underwent full off-frame restoration in 2005 in Australia. Has some wear since then but not bad, and no rust. It’s my daily driver. More pictures to come when I get back home...

Thanks, I'll check the vsv today. So is it ok to run the vehicle without the vacuumhose attached? The only image I could find of it is the one in the attachment.

So I need some ideas here. A moving company was moving my HJ61 12HT when the car died on the highway. I will be taking a look at the vehicle tomorrow in person to see whats up. From what I've been told over the phone: 1. Car died suddenly on the highway 2. Could not get car started again -...

This is what the back end of mine looks like, which I'm thinking it's without the IC Regulator, although the images don't look exact. I have a 12V too.

I can't seem to find the voltage regulator? I see a small plate on the back of the alternator but not sure if its under there or not. I'm not sure if they moved the voltage regulator to another spot on the vehicle or not. Thanks for the images!

I'm thinking it is either the voltage regulator or a dirty alternator. All three of those warning lights (fuel, air, battery) connect to the voltage regulator. But it sounds like you replaced it Freewheel without any luck. Which makes me think just a dusty and dirty alternator is what is...
