Resident Fruitcake
Driving home this morning from work I entered on to the big loop de loop to catch the bypass as I entered I had slowed down then seen it was not ice covered so pressed on the go go pedal. NO GO! Pedal had very little resistance and just plain hit the floor
uh-ho... Not good... big long trail of cars behind me all chomping at the bit for me to MOVE... So just idled her to a spot where I could pull off.
Jumped out and there seems to be a rod that goes from the pivot back to the back end of the injection pump it has a ball/socket deal on the back end that the socket popped off. Lighting was not so good so I couldn't tell how/what style retainer holds it in place. I just popped it back on there but it's very weak and I suspect that it will pop off again from vibrations (engine and road). I assume there should be some sort of clasp that holds this (haynes manual really lacks in this dept). I could not feel anyhole for a metal pin to stick through but again at this point (with no gloves on and temp is 13°) my fingers were pretty much frozen solid at this point. I kept laying them on the engine trying to warm them up a bit while I was scoping things out trying to find the problem (before I found the rod)...
So what's the deal - wire tie or duct tape
