Hello, Finally got my MA1A unit to spool up and reach no-load governed speed as the manual states. I have one question for anybody that operates them: Do you have to switch the output air on as soon as you reach idle speed? (100% RPM). Because mine will run for almost a minute and then shut...

Sorry that it's been so long, but I finally got it to reach 100% RPM and idle correctly today. Here's the video: https://youtu.be/DxMyChGn7-A

Hey there, I have one myself that I'm looking to get rid of. It starts but hangs and won't spool past 50%. Once the centrifugal switch kicks off the starter, it struggles to spool and ends up hanging. My first intention was to replace the turbine wheel, as mine is worn pretty bad. After...

Hey that's awesome. I've been searching for months and saw that you posted this a few weeks ago. It seems to be an earlier model but still very similar to the one we have. Just finished replacing a cracked oil cooler on mine. Planning on getting the unit back on the trailer and running it in a...

I topped off the oil today (with the correct kind) and fired it off. Thing lights off and started spooling right away. About a few seconds after, the fuel and start sequence shut off on me. Took me a while to check the oil level, but it was almost empty!!! I just topped it off, and was confused...

I think you're right on the money, especially with the oil pressure statement. I just got off the phone with a guy that overhauls these. He said that every symptom that i have is related to the oil pressure switch. After I told him that it's sat for a while, he strongly suggests that it is the...

I called honeywell tech support, they had no resources or any support available for that model. Seems that the model I have is so old that it's been unsupported for quite a while. Other than that, I was able to find out a few more things with a bit of troubleshooting. For one thing, the fuel...

I'll try and give them a call tomorrow. That's a real surprise to hear that they still support something that's so old. Hopefully they won't mind answering a few questions. Thanks!

Awesome, great info. Looks like the intake door microswitch was sticking open on mine. Got it working and now everything is getting power. Starter seems to work too, but my battery started dying at that point. Got it on charge. Lots of good info you've got there. Great to know. Hopefully this...

Just checked my data plate. It matches exactly what you said. Too bad Garret doesn't offer support for these anymore. Airesearch doesn't even have a website. Must've been stopped long ago. Do you know if the turbine housing box lifts off of the cart? I can't seem to lift it easily, but it looks...

That's awsome to hear that you worked on them and that there were so many! Looks to me like the battery voltage isn't getting that far. I'm getting 24 volts up to the starter relay and a few places here and there, but not much further than that. It doesn't seem to be making it's way to the...

Hi all, I've had an MA-1A Huffer cart for a while now and I'm finally getting around to working on it. Only problem is that nobody on the Internet seems to know where there are Technical Manuals for it. Anybody here familiar with these machines? My main problem is that there seems to be a...
