datzenmike Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Expect your battery to discharge over one or two days because the choke heater relay is on. With engine off, remove the battery cable and you'll hear it click when you connect it back up. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Wanted to add pics to show how the adjuster arm fits when flipped. From back top Truck is running to see if the battery is gonna hold a charge. Edit: Battery is holding charge, voltage is reading above 12 with all my acc on (13.6). Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 MIke thinks theyre might be a battery drain when it shuts off. one way to ck this is get a test light. take the neg cable off then put the test light inbetween the battery post and the cable you just took off. If test light is ON then the battery is draining. This was a commong thing on 510s but Im not positive on 620 trucks buy this is works good. You can tell if your system is going to go out before the idiot light come on. TRUST IT! http://www.equus.com/Product/3721/Battery-Monitor heres a link about 32 seconds in Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thank you guys for the information on how to test that. The test light did not come on so I would say all in all it was a success :) However, the choke heater is wired to the idle wire, not the original choke heater wire. I double checked because I had thought this was how I wired it when I installed the weber, but I was not sure. That video has some good info. I like short videos that I can learn from, longer ones let my mind wander so I end up rewatching the video 4-5 times before I get it... I will update this again if I have any issues, but for now it looks like my truck is good to go. Also, side benefit was my lights no longer dim when I turn on the wipers, and the wipers seem faster. I still plan to do a relay for the lights like the one I did for the starter, but it may take a few weeks. Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 not sure if you have lock washers on the bolt, good idea to have them. Good luck Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yea, had a small development. Note to self, get new bolts when replacing the alternator. 40 year old bolts like the break... New hardware is installed now and lock washers are in place :) Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Wanted to give an update on this swap. Haven't had any issues after the bolt broke on the 4th of March. The truck is running great and I can run the heater, wipers, and headlights without any problems. I may be upgrading to a more modern radio soon with some new components, but nothing too over powering. I just want to get rid of the road gear cassette player... Also, I have let the truck sit for 5 days without cranking and it started right up. I did find out that I need a new fuse box and I need to adjust valves and tune the weber, but those are opics for another thread. Now back to figuring out my parts list for the new B210 :) Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 fuse box cleaning --- put in White vinegar bath + clean = Happy Kirden ! unless the sucker is melted beyond belief.. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 It has one connector completely melted through. The PO ran the wire through the hole to the other fuse holder... Quote Link to comment
