Ok. I have no power to the green wire. Where is the fuse located? I can't seem to find it.

OK sorry for not posting all available info. This was a working torsion system. All of a sudden it stopped. The solenoids are new and work when the metal arm to the limit switch is grounded. There is power to both sides of the limit switch and the car is not level so something is wrong. The fuse is good. In my eyes it is either the limit switch, delay or the control switch. Is there a way to test them?

Should there be power to the limit switch at all times?

The solenoids are new from Cole herssee. But I think it is the piece with the t bar attached to it. When I ground the solenoids the whole system works.

Torsion Ride Actuator Solenoid
#4
Home away from home
Home away from home

55 NC Clipper
Hi, I just wanted to double check to see if this is actually the problem before I bought the part.

I have power to both sides of the actuator solenoid (the t bar piece) but the torsion level is not working. there is no power to the bars that attach to the solenoids. The t-bar is in the center.

If I accidently ground the bar to the solenoid then the torsion ride works.

Is this t-bar piece bad or what else could it be?

Thanks
Bill

The tube is slightly loose. I can move it an 1/8 side by side.

If it breaks apart coming out can I run a rod from the top end to shove it out the bottom or is this why your saying measure it?

Thanks. After inspecting it further the exhaust is liking around the outside. Not in the tube. Can I just tap this thing in with a hammer. I have read if it is rusted then it would be leaking through the center hole

ultramatic slips in park
#7
Home away from home
Home away from home

55 NC Clipper
Hi, I've noticed two things that I think are related. On semi level ground I can Rev the engine a few times high and the car will roll back (towards decline) while it is in park.. it only rolls less than an inch but you can feel it slip out of park

Today I parked it on an incline and it slipped out of park rolled an few inches and then stopped. I was fine after that.

I know there are brake bands u can adjust. Will this help?

Thanks bill

Hi all. I did some searching on this but couldn't find a good answer. I have an exhaust leak coming out from around the tube in the intake. Someone jb welded it before I got it and it just fell out. What is the best way to fix this? Is it replaceable?


Thanks all, bill

I did not replace the front contol arm bushings, We went throught the motor, new solenoids, replaced the wiring and checked and cleaned the boxes. I was going to see if it was leveling all the time running down the road before doing the control arms.

After the drive when it did not work I did stand on the rear to get it to engage and it did not work, I made sure I stood there for at least 7 seconds.

Thanks
Bill

Torsion Ride Question
#10
Home away from home
Home away from home

55 NC Clipper
Hi all. I have been struggling putting this torsion ride back together after it sat in a field for close to 20 yrs. It has all been gone through and tested. What I have found is this. I had it leveling correctly, the only issue was that the timer has gone out on it and it doesn't wait the 7 seconds to actuate. It does it immediately but once it is level it stays there. I started driving the car around and it levels a couple of times and then stops, it goes nose down and stays that way and will not level. I thought the fuse blew again but when I went out there the next day and I hooked up the battery it leveled out agian. So I was thinking that it was overheating and stopping and waiting to cool down, maybe not. I am kinda lost here on this one.

Thanks
Bill
