Re: how starter is wired

' Craig, How can you claim you don't know what or where it is when you posted a picture of the solenoid? It is that picture that I responded to that you have not answered.

Re: Electrical system,

' Leon, Have you checked the ignition solenoid? It should only have power on the load side if the key is on. Check the load side with the key off; if it is hot then either the solenoid is being fired, it is welded in the on position or a wire is feeding the load side from an outside source. Another ...

Re: how starter is wired

' Robert, Nice presentation but I find you do not show the functions of the service bay controls. If you have the start/stop buttons in the service center, they and their engine stop relay are interlocked with the ECU relay. Check my drawing "safari starter circuit" for details. I believe ...

' Craig, This is the third time you have posted this same email including the picture. I answered you on 8/3 and on 8/4 I questioned the placement of the wire terminals on the solenoid. You have never answered any of my concerns; have you addressed that issue? Jim Exler On 8/10/2019 3:20 PM, Craig B...

Re: Ride heighth adjustment

' Robert, The adjustment at the anchor point of a metal torsion bar is merely setting the height of the loaded end when it is loaded as designed. It has nothing to do with the spring value of the bar. Jim Exler On 8/8/2019 10:27 AM, robertfury@... [Safarifriends] wrote:   So the sagging springs (tor...

Re: Ride heighth adjustment

' Mark, Think of the suspension as a 4 legged stool. Under normal loading, all 4 legs are equally loaded. If we simulate a sagging spring by cutting an inch off one leg, what happens? As that leg lowers to the floor, the diagonal formed by the two adjacent legs becomes a fulcrum or pivot and the leg...

Re: Ride heighth adjustment

' Robert, There are a few reasons to set the ride height to the factory spec. First, the drive line angles were set using the right height. As the springs sag, it changes these angles. Second, the auxiliary suspension components such as the roll bars and pan hard bars were set for the factory height...

Re: Ride heighth adjustment

' Robert, No, the spring rate is a factor of the bonded rubber torsion tube. The weight applied to the torsion arm determines how much the arm deflects. All the shims do is adjust the height of the body relative to the arm. As the rubber weaken over time, it deflects further down lowering the body p...

Re: Electrical system,

' Dear No Name, You have me confused about the engine shut off. There is no key in the engine bay; there should be a push button for start and stop. In order for these to work, you must first turn on the key at the dash. Now, the start button will start the engine. In order to stop the engine, you m...
