Hi Guys,
I was fortunate to get a good deal on a L35, It only has a couple of issues. The main one is electrical. First problem was a faulty alternator, after reading here I ordered a replacement from Pats small engines.
I think what caused the Alt to fail is the glow plug controls. Most of the time the glow plug light (and plugs too) stays on all the time. I think this has caused the alt to run overloaded all the time and damaged the alternator.
Today the glow plugs didn't come on untill I pulled the dash and knocked the relays a bit, now it seems to stay on all the time again.
From searching here it seems there must be a timer that is supposed to shut the glow pulgs off.
I am looking for the location of that control. It looks like there is also a Glow plug relay.
Does anyone have the wiring diagram for these and the relay/timer location?
I just picked this up this week so I don't have a manual yet-Is there any online manuals?
Once I get the information I will see just what is wrong and figuire out if I will replace the timer or just rewire it to a momentary switch I will manually use to heat up the glow pulgs thru a relay.
Thanks
Jerry
