One of the hoses will be a vent or breather line, I am guessing that after fill up the fuel will slosh around and with no other escape route the fill cap is acting as the vent. Check for kinked or blocked lines in the breather hose
Diy:- Crimped winch cable ends?
Hey everyone
My father- in- law bought 2x 1000 foot rolls of 3/8 wire cable rated at 14,400lb min breaking strain for a project that didn't eventuate. My question is has anyone had luck crimping their own end on cable? What style crimps and what tools did...
Sorry, the 1st one with the ratchet style zert tool.
The link is UK but but was bought from Wurth Australia. I assume that wurth products are available in the US
We use this one at work (kenworth dealer). It cops a fair amount of abuse and has held up fine for over 6 years, it is a bit pricey for a one off job, but if you want one that will last I highly recommend it.

IIRC there is a pic of klingon's dash and he had rocker switches mounted there.

if it starts every time when you hot wire the exciter wire (smaller one fron the ignition) you may have an issue with the ignition itself, check earth and hot sides on the ignition barrel
x2 on the coaster, I have a 77/78 coster box sitting in my shed that has the same shift patten at both the box and shifter as posted above. can get some numbers off it if needed
That as what I was thinking Ron,
took it into the auto elect's today (the same one that fitted and wired up the last alt (3B unit) and adjustable regulator).....it seems that they over looked the "star wire" or something, elect lingo I prusume something regarding turning AC to DC, that is...
thanks again for the comments Ron
well ordered a new Alt today (New, not change over or recod' 80Amp Denso unit) should be in tommrow morning, got the price down to $400AUD which included the vac pump (no bad since the last time I got a price it was $800AUD for the same unit). And thought...
Thanks for the reply Ron,
all grounds and connections were perfect, I removed the alt today and took it into the auto elect's to be tested and diagnosed......regulator was faulty, but the fluctuations were caused by abnormal brush contact and wear (spot on Ron:cheers:), wonder if the alt...
There are 2x 5amp fuses for the stock ammeter located in the same harness as the fuseable link (about 3-4" away from the link), this would be a good starting point. Also IIRC there is a diode or resistor on the rear of some ammeters that fails
hope this helps, and good luck
Hey all, having some issues with the alternator and regulator again. This is what has been done and what its now doing.
swapped in an external reg'd alternator out of a 3B to replace my broken stock external reg'd B alternator about 7 months ago. When replacing the alt my auto electrition...
you could fit a vac gauge to the vac tank and inspect fo overnight bleed off but I assume that the vac gauges are fairly $$$.
We had one on the shop a couple of weeks ago with a simular prob, the vac was not dropping fast enough. 3-5 pumps of the clutch/brakes with engine ideling and the low...
