Re: Red Rattler Revamp
I think you can hold down the button on the front to put into override mode as well

Pretty sure if you hold the button in the front down for 5 seconds it does into override and runs full time

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Will have a read up on it again tonight and see what the deal is - when I was turning it over sorting the timing issue out you could hear the pump start and run in some form of a pulse mode when you stopped turning the engine over.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
I should have read the other post first mate
Health Funds yeah I know what you mean when I went to get my first knee done I contacted my health fund they said I needed to increase my cover so I said sure no problem they then said I had to wait 12 months because they put these qualification periods (I think that's what they call them) I've been paying them for 20 odd years for health care and they pulled that shit

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Tried out me fancy new brake pushrod checker thingy last night , it was pretty close but not spot on - extended the pushrod 1 1/2 turns and locked it down where it was just sitting there previously so it was a good thing I checked

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Seeing the ute is done I turned my attention back to the red rattler, first job was refit the alternator that I had loaned to a mate , not your average 5 minute job on this thing
Buried down in there somewhere……
Then rewired the fan so it’s now controlled by the EWP controller not the computer. Tested all that and good to go so fired it up. Not charging so I shut it down to check the alternator wiring and now the bastard won’t start and stinks of fuel when you try to ….
Will call the computer guy on Monday and see where he is at

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Blacky,
Your alternator a single wire ? Most alternators need a load to start them off, normally achieved by an aternator light. That excites them to begin charging, I have a feeling you already know this so ill stop there.
Getting everything to work as it should from the get go is the hardest part with all this technology, computer guru needed for sure.
