  • 2004 grand vitara with a soft pedal?

    Can anyone help with this, the brake pedal went soft but only with the engine running,

    with the engine off the the pedal is hard, when I say soft I mean to the floor.

    First thing I bled the brakes, no change, I then changed the following, ( Brake master

    cylinder, Survo, ABS unit, two front callipers and both rear wheel cylinders) . The slider

    pins on the callipers are free. The master was bench bled. The brake shoes on the rear

    have 4mm left. Also I fitted new front pads. The brake system has been bled by pressure,

    Manual and gravity, The flexi brake pipes have also been checked for bulgeing.

    After all this it is still the same, Tried clamping the flexi pipes there was a very slight

    improvement on the off side front so removed all the parts from brake on that side,

    it is all ok. I am a time served mechanic but this has got me beat. Any ideas would be

    welcome.

  • I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A DIGITAL GEAR INDICATOR FOR A MOTOR CYCLE?

    The item came with a magnet, two sensors & a digital screen, from the screen there are

    3 wires red , black & a neutral I know where the red and black go but have no idea about

    the neutral. The problem I am having is when i change up from 1st it shows 2nd as out of

    gear, The only time it shows a zero is when i first turn on the ignition. The sensors have

    two wires coming out each of them, I think the problem is nowing where the neutral should

    go and it does not show in the installation guide. Any one any ideas.

  • Running problems with a Jonhson 4 seahorse?

    This engine is about a 1983 twin . It starts with no problem at all but after about 45secs it stops

    just as if there is no spark. Have changed both plugs and cleaned out both the carb & fuel pump

    compression is about 75 on both pots. There is a good spark on plugs when earthed to the engine.

    the only other thing is there seams to be quite a lot of oil on the water in the tank. I have checked

    the points gap and both are fine. Anyone got any ideas.

  • To Jtexas about the Honda 6hp?

    Hi thanks for the info on the honda. it has only one carb, the engine slows down

    by about 30% and it makes no difference if you squeeze the primer bulb.

    It also has new plugs and they have only run for about 30mins, but they are

    dry and clean. If I open the choke it stops after a few secs.

    A new impeller has just been fitted. As to overheating it does it after starting

    from cold just the same as starting from warm. The oil has just been changed.

    Its got me beat. One more thing after it slows down and I try to open the

    throttle you have to blip it to make it pick up but it does not seem to run right.

  • honda outboard 6hp 4 stroke?

    Can any one help, I have a honda 6hp that starts easy but after running for

    about 30secs it seems to slow down even when warm. The bottom cyl I think

    is the problem as when I take off the plug lead the engine keeps on running

    but does slow down, when done on the top cyl it stops. Compression is 120 psi

    on both cyls, Spark is good on both and the Carbs are clean.
