Okay, just went outside and took a reading at TB3-5 & TB3-6 . I didn't preheat the engine just put the probes on the screw heads and and started cranking. I was reading 1.4,2.5 2.3 volts before the machine started. After starting I was getting about 5 volts on my meter. Is this normal? I also...

Okay, I checked the resistor on the A4 board and my meter is reading 54.6 - 54.7 , suppose that's good? As far as the flash circuit, I tool the plug off of the j12 receptacle set my meter to check for continuity on the pins and did get that. If the j12 plug goes back to TB3-5 and TB3-6 could...

Good day and how are you all? Okay I did hold the start switch in the start position for about 20 seconds after the engine was running. I did not repeat it though. How do you test the flash circuit to make sure it is working and where in the TM's is it described? which is the capacitor on the...

How is everybody today, Okay Jim this one is for you. I switched out the vr from my 400 hz machine and set the jumpers up as per the tm. I decided to fire the machine up and see how it is. I had the machine running and was only getting 7-8 volts on L0-L1 and L0- L3. no real change in voltage...

hello jim how are you, looking at the board q1 and q2 are in the upper right had corner and q3 is the one with the two bolts through it. on the left side of the board, next to terminal 14a little transistor or what ever you call it, its very small and shows cr5 to the right. next to terminal 16...

Matt that's another great video. Do you plan on doing any more video's on the 002 & 003 machines? My cousin still has he 002 I lent him during Sandy. I have a problem starting it with the throttle set at 1800 rpm. If the throttle is at idle speed it will start, then go to operating rpm and will...

Hello and how is everyone, Have a quick question. I have my 003 that quit making power (like 6 volts) so I swapped out the vr from my 400 hz machine and put the jumpers in as per the TM. Now, will the voltage have to be calibrated on the vr I put in or should it already be properly adjusted? I...

Hey guys whats going on, got a call yesterday from a guy over at federal mogul. Says that they arn't taking the glow plugs off of their list of parts and should be available for some time. Thought I would just put that out there. metalworker393

Thanks for the input guys. I didn't really try turning the voltage rheostat more than three times while I was checking the ac voltage. I'll definitly try the contact cleaner too. Issac, I am by no means electronics friendly so what is involved with testing and/or replacing that transistor...

Hello and how is everyone. First off, I called INDUSA to order some glowplugs and they informed me that it looks like Champion will no longer be manufacturing these glow plugs. Anybody have P/Ns from other manufacturers avail? Second thing, I have an 003 thats been sitting since the spring so...

Hey how's it going. Good luck with your project. If you need a flywheel I may be able to help you out. I have a dead 003 engine that will be stripped down for anything salvagable. metalworker393

okay, I changed out the voltage rheostat to see if that made a diffrence. I'm getting about 116 volts on each leg in the 240v configuration with the rheostat turned all the way to the right. Looking through the tm would R15 be out of adjustment no. 1, and no 2 I'm looking for R15 and not sure if...

Thanks jerry

Hello and thanks for the reply, Didn't go that far last night as it was starting to get dark and I had a bit of a mess in the driveway to clean up. Sucks not having a garage to work in but it is what it is. If the voltage rheostate is malfunctioning how do you test it. Was looking for that last...

Hello and how is everyone doing. Hope everone had a safe and happy thanksgiving. So, I finally got around to taking the engine off the 112 and put it on the 003 today. This 003 has been sitting for some time, and the engine that it came with was siezed. I picked up the 112 unit last spring and...

Okay I had time to tinker with the 002 again. I took the front cover off the engine to expose the governor assembly. I decided to move the spring up one notch at a time and now it does seem to hold rpms better. I then took a look at my throttle cable, seems to have a problem with not being...

That would be it.

Hey storeman, its one of those claws you can get at almost any auto supply. has a flexible extension,usually 4 flat pieces of metel at the end. Also has a t shaped grip with a spring loaded button you push in to extend the thin flat claws. You can find it McMaster Carr catalog. If I can I will...

Ditto on chasing the threads on the flywheel. I did an engine swap on one of my spare 002's and found that using one of those claw retreval tools helped significantly. It made holding onto the bolt when removing it a snap. Also putting the bolt back in was very easy,and it doesn't fall down...

Hey guys thanks for the info. I used a handheld multimeter to check the voltage across the lugs. So what I should read at the back terminals of the analog meter should be 240V +/- a few? If so any voltmeter would work as a suitable replacement? I understand that the frequency meter has the...
