Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I clocked my winch today and now it won't turn when its engaged and spins crazy fast when not engaged, i took it apart and can't tell what the fuck i did, any suggestions? Its an engo 10000 Only Other Thing I Did Was Remove The Clutch Lever.

 

Shhhhhhhhhhh.

 

How do you mean "took the clutch lever off"? And how did you rotate the winch?

It almost sounds like you did not reassemble the clutch handle correctly or when you rotate it you aren't properly engaging the clutch. Assuming all you did was remove the lever and re-insert it, you probably didn't get it oriented correctly (the position it was in before) which prevents the clutch from engaging. There's also the possibility you didn't properly connect the clutch assemble to the brake shaft assembly.

I would start by downloading an exploded view of the winch. Then check to make sure the clutch handle is properly installed. If that doesn't solve the problem, then if you clocked it by removing the tie bars, remove the tie bars and check to make sure brake shaft is correctly installed in the clutch assembly.

Good luck.

 

Just Took The Screw Out And The Lever, It Was Getting In The Way WhenI Was Building The Mount. i Rotated it By Taking The 10 Screws Out On The inside Of The Gearbox And Rotated It.

As Far As I Can Tell There's Only One Way The Lever Can Go In. You Might Be Right About Clutch Assembly CauseI Really Can't See Why It Wouldn't Work. I've Disassembled Warns With No Problem, This Is Similar But I'm.Fucking Stumped. I'll Try Your Suggestions Tomorrow, Thanks!

Nope justed arrived today while im at work. Made the wife snap a photo

 

Nice Jay! Sent you a PM with a question

Ah, so the end of shift can't come quick enought then!

 

Go in the kitchen and grab her turkey baster to suck out the extra coolant, that will teach her

 

I have no idea why it's leaking, maybe the rubber is stiff and or shot in the cap/ not seating perfectly anymore?

 

well, it just cost her a turkey baster right? She'll get the point

 

So pumped right now. I finally talked to my boss about raises we should have gotten in January. He responds with "you mean we didn't do them in January?" Well now he put our reviews, bonuses and raises as a priority and doing the right when he gets back from vacation in 2 weeks. Too bad it's all going to pay off debt and not anything fun, but I'm stoked to be able to not stress about money as much each month. Sorry for the lame post, but I've been waiting for this raise for over 2 years.

 

That's awesome news. Nothing lame about righting a wrong

 

Haha tell me about it. I wish I would have brought it up earlier now that I know that's the reason we didn't get them.

 

Very Nice!
