dave5.0 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 the heat on the board can cause dry solder connections, just like a tube tv. believe it or not, the tap test is a valid test. I can see having a bad connection on a normal circuit board and being able to get it to come and go. I thought these were encased in that really cool goo. I've resoldered a bunch of loose connections on boards on the equipment I work on. You can normally wiggle those and make them come and go. Didn't figure you could do that to one of these. Sorry didn't mean to pull a Loco on ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 pulled the flywheel cover getting ready to order a puller, didnt need one, lol. my flywheel nut came loose and let the pin out. How about that torque wrench? :biggrin: If you have an impact I'd use it next time. Just don't go crazy and snap the end off with it.

Even when they explode that goo doesn't go away completely. That's good stuff whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJScott Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 i put threadlocker on it this time. torqued it down to 55 foot pounds, a little under spec but all the torque wrench i had would take. put stuff back together and it started in 1/2 a kick!

dave5.0 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 What color thread locker did you use? If it was me I'd put a little more ass into it. I guess you'll find out if you have enough. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
