I just looked at the coaster bus vac diagram, it does have the option with or without idle up, If you have a look you'll see the tab on the end of the tee, (without idle up) #2 also I'd check to see the 2 t vac junctions in diagram where both lines from the BVSV go, I'd suspect they would...
That vacum diagram mate is for an auto, a little different, but if your cruiser is a manual, use this one , on the subject of the BVSV, its temp sensing vac valve, that assists in idle up when starting from cold start, once donk warms up, that Shuts the vacum off and idle should return to...
The reason I ask, I thought my charge relay was playing up, but made no difference when replaced, it worked out that was the alternator stator was earthing out intermittently, was was just rebuilt, had to install and rip out 3 times before got to the bottom of the issue
When I did my flush and topped up I removed the hoses to rear piping completely , no need for them in QLD, Your doing a great job, really impressed with your bunded area ,
Great buy mate, and your doing all the fun stuff yourself, I had rust in same spot also, my rig was grey 153 all over until clear started to breakdown on roof and bonnet, I didn't trust the shop to colour match, so I went with the 2 tone instead ,
Yep I would agree with Danshj45, understand where your Gauges baselines are, I've towed fully loaded in Australian summer a number of times, and have reached halfway on the temp gauge maybe a tad over a few times, and yes i was doing 110-120klms an hour up hills through Hawkesbury on a hwy...
Nice truck mate, did you end up finding out what that box was actually for, I had one in my donor hj61 when I parted out , I was bloody stumped to what if was for, I gave up thinking it must have been something for the electric winch (magnet switch etc)
I've installed 2 converters, etc, not that hard to work your way through, and I did put a kill switch in the for the radio converter, but honestly I hardly even flick it off, other converter for plugs in cargo only activate once the switch is turned on
Did you notice slight power loss with those high temps, I've done some touring Hj61 with camper (1ton) middle of summer in NSW, 33-38deg C, my temps gauge normally would sit just under 1st line in gauge, towing or not, Once it tips past 32d I se my gauge rise, to max of half way 37d c, I...
