General Discussion / V50 BAP petcock rebuild kits?
« Last post by jamesfjamesf on March 18, 2024, 06:47:08 PM »
Mine weep a bit - one when shut off still leaks a bit into the fuel line, and the other leaks out the front. I'm coming up with zero hits trying to search for it (here and on google) unless I want to buy a new petcock. Are rebuild kits just not available?

thanks,
jim

John changed all the bearings so I'm sure alignment has changed too.

I've got some 40mm Dells, so why not? I see no reason 36s wouldn't work also.

Ignition? I don't know yet. You mentioned changing the flywheel - hadn't planned on doing that much, but mine has only the TDC marked and nothing else. I'll need to change that - either mark it myself or swap flywheels.

Odyssey 925 is a drop in fit on my stock T3. It's 15 years old and still works excellently. I like the big battery because everyone uses my charging ports at the campsites.

Few years back I had problems with the Bosch starter going intermittent. I replaced it with the Valeo from EME. It works so much better than the Bosch ever did. The gear reduction lowers cranking amps while maintaining cranking speed. It's also a bit lighter.

Between the Odyssey and the Valeo the T3 comes to life no matter what the weather.

Just a wild-ass thought, but could it be a flat lobe on the camshaft?

Certainly worth the thought, I suppose. How would I even check that without dissembling the motor completely? Only way I can think is removing one of the cylinders (once again) and sticking a borescope down in and faced upward to view the cam from below?

Any updates?
I'm thinking I may have the same issue to resolve but no one knows the cause of the sound.

Not yet. Had to take a step back due to moving and a good load of freelance on the plate. My next attempt at locating the source will be replacing the rockers. I’ve since purchased a salvage V7 III, and want to try to fix the remedy the issue causing the chatter on the V7 II before I sell it.

General Discussion / New Battery for 850 T3
« Last post by tonyduc on March 18, 2024, 01:12:33 PM »
All
The battery I have used for the past 3 seasons always was a bit weak for cranking power but now it’s in decline. It’s a Yuasa YB16hlacx rated at 20ah(20hr) and 240A(CCA). I’ve seen posted elsewhere here that Cali owners have had luck with Odyssey's PC680. This would fit my T3, the 925 is a tight fit.
Haynes says the battery should be 32 A. Just curious what is the rating specification that matters, 20 hrs or CCA ? The specs for Odyssey pc 680 says 170 CCA, but Cali owners seem happy with it.

BTW, as far as charging the voltage at the battery terminals is 13.9 - 14.2 @ 2,000 rpm, so it seems my alternator is good.
Thanks
Tony
