The problems are the same from the platform and the ground controls.
This is a JLG 40h from the 1990's it is a Ford dual fuel with Precision Governor. It was rebuilt by JLG in 2000.
1. Starter kicks out after only a few seconds. Sometimes it works fine. but other times it will not engage starter long enough for the engine to start. I can get it to start if I use a wrench to short the solenoid.
2. Telescope in will not work from ground or platform. Sometimes it is fine but 50% of the time it will not work. From the platform I can sometimes get it to go in if I hold the Telescope in switch and each time I step on the foot switch the platform will move in about an inch.
3. When the Telescope In doesn't work the steering is also very slow and the drive motors will not go into high speed.
The mechanic I called said he thought is sounded like a voltage loss causing the solenoid not to open the valves all the way.
I have 12.5 volts with engine off and 14.5 with engine on.
I cleaned all the ground connections, and tightened all terminals. I replaced the ignition switch because it had about a .5 voltage loss.
I have checked all the terminals and can't find any voltage loss.
I have read about changing the trim pot on the governor to increase the kick out starter RPM setting. Evertime I start to do that the starter will start working correctly for a few hours .
I was wondering what the select relays do or if anyone has any other ideas.
