Summer Of The Pig

[PabloCruise]

When it comes to vacuum lines, your best bet is to have a vacuum schematic handy.

I know some years had a decal on the air cleaner. If you do not have this, use the F engine manual or emissions manual.

HTH!

 

[amos715]

that does help

i did not know there was an emissions manual.

Duuhhh. that would explain why i couldn't find it in the engine or chasis fsm.

thanks again i'll check the air breather and hood for a diagram.

wish i could get another weber, i know folks don't like them. but i desmogged my 40 and went from 13 mpg to 18 mpg in a snap.

there wasn't a whole lot of emissions on the early models, so there may not be a book, but for the mid70s on, there were separate approximately 60 page books for all the emissions crap.

so i go buy a solenoid for the pig, this is what i got. i can not find on the schematic where it goes.

and i can't find on the fender well where it goes either?

do we use these kinds of solenoids or is the only one the one on the starter?

 

[amos715]

arrggg i think i was using the wrong schematic

i think i found the right schematic, but i can not find the BW wire or the W wire labled on the schematic on the pig, i guess i need to grab a circuit tester and start tracing wires.

i think this is the schematic i need, so can i take the two post fender mounted solenoid back?

 

[amos715]

ok here is the starter




i did have the black white wire to attach

the schematic shows that there should also be a white wire, the only wire that i think could go to the solenoid is red (but it might be an aftermarket patch by the po) i am guessing the white wire should go to the screw in the yellow circle

 

[amos715]

and where should this hose go on the other end.

 

[JackA]

That's the PCV hose and goes to the spacer under the carb...........like in your pic above.

Are you looking for the carb solenoid like mentioned above? Not sure what you are doing with that starter solenoid?

sorry

everything i ever worked on (short list) had a two pole solenoid. i can not find one in the schematic, or anywhere to mount one under the hood.

the barrel of parts that came with this puzzle had the battery cable running straight to the starter.

so i am trying to figure the rest of the puzzle out.

shematic shows one battery cable, one "BW" wire (black with white stripe) and one "W" wire (white)

i think my white wire was replaced with a red wire by the previous owner.

so the main question is, am i on the right track or is there suppose to be a two pole solenoid inserted into the puzzle somewhere?

thanks

 

[amos715]

so i guess i got the vacuum lines straight now.

the accelerator cable is hooked up and working.

clutch and brakes are working.

good battery, new coil, good points.

if i can get a few wires straightened out i'll be ready to try and crank this thing.

thanks mud







better go get some gas.

 

[amos715]

and i really do appreciate all the help and comments.

i am flying in the dark here, so anything from "you're too stupid to own a cruiser " to " you're the rain man of fj-55" is fine with me.

 

[JackA]

There's no remote solenoid on these. The wires go directly to the starter. It's all good..............you'll get it.

 

[amos715]

WOOOO - HOOOOO

MAIDEN VOYAGE







have to hook up motor mount, oil gauge, heater, seats, get it painted all the same color, get the glass put back in, lights hooked up.....

but it is running and driving.


thanks for all the help mud

i am not twelve feet tall, i am sitting on an old kitchen chair.

 

[romegadave]

Wondered about that for a moment........thought it was Andre the Giant driving there Congrats on a running pig!!

 

[nuclearlemon]

i was figuring five gallon bucket. milk crates work good.

ha yeah i could have bucket seats...


thanks again for the help lemon. i can not get the lights, horn, signal lights, to work.

that is going to wait till next week.

got to go take a test in the morning in okc and catch some cows for a neighbor when i get home in the afternoon

edit: oh i found my brake booster check valve too

I thought you just messed up on the metric to SAE conversion somewhere CONGRATS on gettin it going!
