Gazza Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Hi all, Just to let you know that i have Whitey Bitey back on the drive with the e-tec now fully operational again after the starting problems i had 2 weeks ago. The problem was a broken wire somewhere under the hood........Those of you with e-tec`s will know that theres loads of them to choose from. He said we might of got it started by wobbling the wires and starting at the same time.....but at the end of the day it was just bad luck.(like my fishing then) Gary Quote
Afishionado Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Good for you mate, now your ready to take advantage of the march gales and the April frosts I am working on thinking the worst and then being pleasantly suprised. But it is a funny old winter/spring so far Mad Mike Quote
Bob F Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Glad is was nothing too serious, Gary. I assume it was all covered by the warranty? BF Quote
Gazza Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Posted February 10, 2007 Yes Bob 2yrs left from April Also i dont know if other E-tec owners have trouble getting the grease gun on the leg grease nipples? No comment from Mike please about other types of nipples When i mentioned to the fitter it was quite hard to get a good grip here he suggested grinding off the end of the grease gun to a fine point!!! And that is from a main dealer Anyway i`ve had the disc cutter out and done the job and it works a treat Anyone else had this problem? Gary Quote
Coddy Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Hi Gary Could you not get an angled grease nipple to replace the one on the leg? Don't know this engine and layout so I might be talking c**p. Coddy Quote
Paul J Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Gazza, I bet thatwas a relief! Thanks for the tip i'll check my nipples tomorrow PJ Quote
Gazza Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Posted February 10, 2007 Dave, That might be worth a try but i seem to have sorted it for know. Maybe when the warranty runs out all give it a try. I`ll give that place opposite where the monthly meetings take place a try i need some more grease cartridges anyway (they do marine grease in a tube not so messy) Gary Quote
Member Removed Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 Anyone else had this problem? Gary I did struggle a bit, but i just bent the grease gun tube in the vice to give a bit more reach, did the job fine, Sean, Quote
Coddy Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 Found this site for nipples http://www.namrick.co.uk/browse.asp?PCID=20 Seem cheap enough Coddy Quote
