Ricks new Patrol

[solarman216]

Love to but it does not have a Maff, Rick

Like I said on the other thread about this Ric, fit a bigger exhaust and turn the fuel up and it will make a big difference. Maybe tweak the boost aswell.

How old is the suspension on the truck? If its knackered it could just be sagging at the back with that much weight taking positive pressure off the front.

I've never had the front jump so can only assume your arse heavy attitude has exposed tired shocks at the front.
As said above for more low down grunt get the old girl breathing well and turn things up ☺
Over run wheel wobble most likely swivel shims. Top and bottom. There are hopefully some shims in there already. Take one out of each and try again. There's probably a proper way to do it so have a spy on YouTube fire an easy guide.

Still trying to pack all my kit into the Troll in a manner that I can find what I want when I want, is not easy

Had some success re low down power today, removed the boost diaphragm on the pump and found on the annular groove on the cone shaped part it had some hardish debris in the groove, about 2mm, cleaned this off and for good measure turned the spring adjuster clockwise (down) 10 clicks this lessens the spring pressure on the diaphragm so bringing more fuel in at lower boost pressure, and it has certainly made a difference but think it could be better so watch this space, Rick

Try not to brake hard :lol

It wont be long till you've sussed the patrol and have more boost than you can shake a stick at.:lol
You'll need a net or something over the luggage area when you're smashing it up Bastard Lane:naughty:naughty

those pics were taken while trying to get organised, on the road all is safely captured, Rick

Mine is a bit of a mess, serving me well as a work truck among everything else :thumb2

Intend to do that lane again but will have my road going wheels inside and off road wheels on plus a front winch, Rick

Sounds good. I'll be there too hopefully:thumbs

Oh Eff, just re read the Ausy post on the diaphragm and it seems the spindle is offset so turning it makes a difference, I had not noticed that so have no idea what it's position was when I removed it, will have to make some datum points a keep playing, Rick

 

[solarman216]

Well having played a bit more have discovered that if the datum line on the spindle is to the rear of the engine she pulls like a train, seems that as the tapered pin is pushed down by boost pressure another small pin that protrudes from the front that meters fuel is allowed to protrude more so increasing fuel, so this adjustment is now set at maximum, the notched nut under the spring screwed clockwise reduces spring pressure so allowing lower boost to push the tapered pin down, and yet to me messed with is the overall max fuel screw on the rear of the pump, so more playing to come, I do love mechanical pumps, now another miner problem, anyone know what drives the rev counter, it went loopy today, I mean absolutely, either not working at all or swinging crazily from stop to stop, I thought it was going to break or bend the needle, Rick

 

[Mr K]

Ric I'm not sure, but is there a sensor on the manual fuel pump?

I could be completely wrong, but I'm wondering if there is a sensor for the rev counter on the manual fuel pump. Could be worth a check something's not been disturbed.

Thanks worth a look, but when it first failed I thumped the dash and it went crazy and then stopped again but later started working as normal for the rest of the day, so suspecting a bad connection some place, was not sure if it is fed from the alternator? but will check the pump connectors anyway, but really suspect solder joints on PCB on back of cluster, now my thinking brain has been lubricated with a bit of red wine, Rick

Rick will show Alistair when I see him next.

Haha, I've just poured a nice whiskey

Just found an AU site that that vindicates all of what I said in great detail, saved it to my downloads as they give pics on all aspects, I worked it out for myself but nice to have a pictorial record to follow for when I forget what I have done, Rick
