RE: RAM 1000 Problems
Ok Results.
1. Removed the sensor and went over it with a strong magnet for about 15 minutes or more.
Refinstalled it again in engine.
2. Cleaned o-ring and spinner nut
2. Applied CA to the O-ring grove.
3. Assembled everything again.
4. Removed battery from charger. Battery fully charged
5. Hooked everything together and go.
6. At first after I pressed air I got 234 signal level at abt 5k
7. During a normal start up operation I noticed 2 things. Screetching sound and engine
accelarates to around 004.1 (top left hand reading on main menu) and then stops.
8. Removed front cover again and looked at the starter motor. Pressed "AIR" button again
applying a bit of finger pressure on the starter. Same screetching sound. Looks like the motor
was slow on the starting mode coupled with some slippage.
9. Applied CA again, a bit of magnetic work and assembled everything.
10. Meanwhile, I recharged battery. Again fully charged and set to go.
11. Pressed AIR button and signal reading read 180 at abt 5K. I did this a couple of times and
reading never went over 200.
12. I noticed that gas solenoid was working perfectly as I could smell gas coming out.
I never started the engine with an open fire since if I did not have enough rpm to spool up it would have made it worse on the bearings as no fuel would have gone in to oil the bearings. So I would have only had gas fire coming out of the engine without adequate rpm to spool the engine up. Maybe I am mistaken but that was the train of thought of why I did not opt for that recommendation.
These were the results.
Any comments please?
Thanks
