Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
OK so started with the screw driver. Relay looks perfect no corrosion. Well the screws are slightly burnt now! Time to take switch apart.
Edit Everything looks OK? What do you guys suggest. It does the following. Key in, ignition on, pump primes, push button no click no sound no nothing. Relay looks perfect so too does the switch. What should I try replacing first? Last edited by shiftin_gear98; 10-08-18 at 04:00 PM. |

So you'd think that they'd simply train the right people to do the jobs they need to. This is where it falls down. The concept isn't flawed - just the way "we" do it. We're either so stretched for staff that they can't take time off for additional training, or the whole thing has just got bogged down in administrative overhead. Or - probably the most likely, is that no-one at the right level of decision making has any interest in making one person capable of doing the jobs of three. Lastly, if you even achieve that goal, you might well just end up with more unemployment overall. I mean everyone needs feeding regardless of whether they work or not. Therefore industrial efficiency in the workplace has limited returns.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Admin, I love you. I had tried cleaning the clutch switch contacts. But it still didn't work. So I just tried ramming a bit of wire in the contacts to bypass the clutch lever and..... She's alive!
A new clutch cable was on my shopping list as I have stupid amounts of play. Looks like I get that have a fiddle and see. Once again big up the the OMO. Thanks. Where's a beer... |

I've had a few clutch lever switches fail in the 15 years I've been on SVs. Current sv the switch failed so I bypassed it years ago
