Twin fuelled starting
The correct procedure to remove and to fit twin
fuelled starting aids is as follows:
To remove
1 Disconnect the fuel connections and the
electrical connections.
2 Remove the starting aids.
To fit
Note: The Instructions that follow include the use
of POWERPART Threadlock (pipe), and "Activator
N 7649".
1 Ensure that the seat faces of the manifold and
the fuelled starting aids are free of dirt and of old
threadlock. It is not necessary to remove the old
threadlock from the threads of the manifold or of
the starting aids.
Warning:
Read the manufacturer's safety
instructions before you apply the "Activator N" and
threadlock.
2 Spray the "Activator N" from the aerosol canister
onto the threads in the manifold. The "Activator N"
will need 5 minutes to dry. During this period apply
threadlock to the threads of the fuelled starting aids.
3 Fit the fuelled starting aids fully into the manifold.
Rotate them back, not more than one complete
turn, until the electrical terminals face away from
the casing. Clean off the excess threadlock
Caution: After the fuelled starting aids are in
position do not move them. If the fuelled starting
aids are moved and the seal provided by the
threadlock is broken, this procedure must be
repeated. The threadlock will be dry after 15
minutes.
4 Check the fuel pipes and if they are still full of
fuel, connect them to the starting aids. If the fuel
has drained from the pipes, eliminate the air from
the pipes as shown in the workshop manual.
5 Connect the electrical connections.
The latest engines have a nylon spacer (A3) fitted
over the threads of the starting aid to ensure that
the electrical connector (A2) is in the correct
position. When the nylon spacer is fitted it is not
necessary to use POWERPART threadlock.
