Finally got my skip loader out of the woods, both literally and figuratively last week.
Got the engine running great, although it would be nice to know the correct ignition timing spec.
Big problem is the power steering.
With the front wheels off the ground, it turns right OK, but turning left of center meets with incredible resistance. The power steering is literally fighting me when I try to turn left with the engine on.
However if I give up part way in the left turn, and either turn right slightly or just let go of the steering wheel, it seemingly paradoxically slams the wheels hard to the left.
With the engine off, none of this happens, and the slave cylinders at the front wheels have even resistance to expanding or compressing with no sign of binding, or leaks.
Would love to see how to get to whatever valving that is at the base of the steering column, as logic tells me that this is where the insane brain, in the form of some sort of regulating valve must be located.
Pictures, diagerams and instructions welcomed.
I will be buying a mnual, but do not at the present have acess to funding needed, and am on a tigh schedule to get an important task done.
Thanks
