old_n07 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Does this mean I have to split the red wire to go in 5 and 7?? And why isn't the green and brown wire used. Yes, put a loop of wire from pin 5 to 7, green and brown according to the list off the FL forum is the reversing light so not needed on the standard 7 pin plug - at the end of the day if the pin out is incorrect when it's connected up to test it then it's not the end of the world to swap the wires arround Edited January 21, 2017 by old_n07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 so out came the die grinder, then the new top bolts i bought didnt fit the holes as they were to big, so out came the drill, nothing is ever straight forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 it all went on in the end but in not happy with it, why i hear you ask, i will tell you why. i think it should sit on the bottom 2 bolts but i couldnt get them off so put it where it is now, however it now doesnt really sit straight due to the 1cm of bolt sticking out from the back of the socket, and the fact there is a spare 4 foot of wiring to hide, so im going to take it all off, get them bolts off some how,chop the wiring down a bit and do it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 managed to get all the bolts in finger tight, just need my mate to look it over first as the 2 sides are still to bolt down so want to make sure its all correct, but it all lines up and looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 For the red wire on the towing socket please don't leave it like that. Just use a short piece of wire to bridge it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 if that is making smoke like that the injector pump is TOO FAR ADVANCED....that means it is injecting toooo late.....aqnd you are getting what is called partial combustion..... remerdy... locate arrow on the injector pump slaken off all the pipe unions...(only slaken) put a mark on the block and the injector pump slacken off injector pump turn the injector pump back 3mm....(the opposite direction of the arrow) tighten up all unions heaters no accelerator (until it fires) start............... do it........it should not smoke like that...

Lord O War Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) For the red wire on the towing socket please don't leave it like that. Just use a short piece of wire to bridge it What he said, that's a fire waiting to happen! Cut the wire back and re strip the end and put it in the hole you need and just cut another short piece and strip both ends and use that as the link wire. Try to have it so the sheathing on the wires is just below the surface and you don't have exposed cores above. By essentially halving the number of strands in the wire you create a point where you get high resistance and so heat then potentially a fire. Also, I cannot tell from the pic, if you have the sheathing cut back a long way the exposed cores may touch one of the other terminals and short and cause... you guessed it, a fire or at least melty wires.

viking Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 only short videos as i didnt realise he was starting it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHw-hH1Aoc4&feature=youtu.be .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlDtlv06TjE&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) he is quite right.....if you advance the timing it will inject just before top dead centre....when you have maximum pressure in the bore....if it is injecting too late the bore pressure is starting to drop very quickly....hence the smoke.......... it is common that if you set the timing to the factory spec it still can be a toothe out...thats why you have the ability to set the final timing on the pump....even with my more modern turbo-desiel i have to do this................you know when you have the right timing as it starts easy.....BUT....if you advance it toooo much then the engine will clatter......so do it by ear....to get the rigtht set point you may have to alter the timing chain to give you the right space on the injector pump...... if you have honed the bores it will also smoke for a bit until the new rings cut their own seats............. your mate is right in what he says....but im telling you now it shouldnt be smoking like that.............. cant veiw the video as it is private...
