    Zenith Carburetor Question 1992

    Thanks for all the feedback. This machine sat for a while before I acquiried it and I remember when I first got it started it would not turn off because of a stuck fuel solenoid. Currently once its running the valve performs as necessary. Is the thought that its not getting enough electricity or...

    Zenith Carburetor Question 1992

    When I have this condition I usually take both apart. If the fuel shut off solenoid is faulty would it cause the inlet valve to close? In other words when I have the crank-no start the fuel line is pressurized between the fuel pump and the carburetor so no fuel is entering the carburetor at all...

    Zenith Carburetor Question 1992

    I have a 1992 Zenith Carburetor on a Ford LSG 423 (similar to the picture shown below). My question is that if the machine sits overnight or longer, there is a Viton tipped valve at the fuel inlet that gets stuck closed thus not allowing fuel to enter the carburetor and giving me a no start. I...

    Ford LSG 423 Governor/Actuator Resistance Spec?

    Does anyone know what the resistance spec is for a Ford LSG 423 Mechanical Governor/Actuator? (Genie PN 27917GT)

    1992 S60 Electrical Rotary Coupler

    Does anyone have a diagram of the electrical rotary coupler or picture? I checked the manuals online but nothing came up that I could see? I need to know how the lower switch gets mounted as well as which grooves each contact sits in? There's also a spring clip for the switch. Just having a...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Hey Willie, Well, I pulled both wires off the water temp. switch gauge and didn't resolve my one issue etc. Looking at the diagram I'm trying to see where power/backfeed would exist on both upper and ground control indicator lamps at one time. It seems as if TR2 may be a possibility along...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Thanks again Willie. This makes sense regarding the wiring of the controller. I don't know a lot about these controllers but I'm assuming they sense a drop in voltage as to when to increase engine rpm? Possibly measuring the hertz? Will this be affected using this cube relay you think...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Willie, I'm willing to try anything at this point. Currently I have a "bad" controller on hand so I wouldn't be able to see if this scenario would work until I get another one etc. The red/white wire you want me to hook up to 85 on this relay is where I have the reduced voltage/possible...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Willie, With the key on (engine off), I have a reduced amount of voltage when the positive probe of my multimeter is touching terminal #1 and the negative probe is touching terminal #2. I've tried using the common ground with the negative probe thinking I had a bad ground etc. I still have...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Willie, My overall problem is that I have burned up two new/rebuilt controllers (the outputs). The supplier feels this may be caused by a bad actuator and/or hooking up the controller with the battery on etc. I've hooked up both with the battery off. I tested the actuator and have a good...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Willie, I'm glad you clarified that. I was out this morning and everything was good with the engine running. lol. Up until this morning all of my readings were with the key switch on/engine not running. Every once in a while I start the engine to keep the battery voltage up but then...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Voltage Thanks again Willie. I have been doing all of my testing with simply the selector switch on/off etc. I haven't checked anything under load. My assumption was that I didn't want the alternator voltage to over ride anything etc. So I learned something new. I'm sure I'll have more...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Willie, Yes, the wire with the diode in the picture, when energized, has a voltage drop to 11.66. So you're saying that is not normal and I have other issues? The contact blocks on the top of the selector switch, when energized individually, are at 12.20v. As I previously stated I had an...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Willie, The voltage at the two bottom terminals of the selector switch are fine. My problems are with the two upper terminals. The one issue is the voltage drop off the diode as shown in my picture. This wire eventually goes to my controller which is where I have voltage less than my...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    I have a diode question if any one is still out there? In my picture below I have a voltage drop before and after the diode. Is this normal or not? Also can anyone take a look at the diagram and give me their feedback as to why I might have 3.2 volts on the #19 wire when the switch is in the...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Well I thought I made some progress only to run into another brick wall this morning. I had the local Genie Dealer out last week to have a new set of eyes on my wiring problem. He/we discovered a short in the wiring leading up to one of the beacon lights. So I repaired the wiring and sent the...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Seems like I just can't put this issue to bed. I hooked up the new/rebuilt controller and started to follow the adjustment procedures. I didn't get past line 2 or 3 which is verify I have 12v at the battery and controller etc. I have 12v at my batteries and only 10v at terminals 1 & 2 of the...

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    I heard back from Hindley and they said they would warranty the controller so I should get it back tomorrow evening. Hopefully Thursday morning I can hook it up etc. Voodoo can you elaborate on terminal 1 and 2 with reverse polarity? Are you referring to the controller or actuator?

    1992 S60 Governor/Actuator

    Actuator Well after three weeks of waiting I finally received a response from Hindley Electronics. They told me one of my trim pots is bad on the controller and also in the upper right hand corner near the outputs there was some bad transistors (resistors?) which I was told is more than likely...
