Good morning I have a 642b 1989 bobcat. I recently was jumpstarting it and arced the positive cable to the battery hold down and didn't realize it until it was too late. It burned up a couple wires going to the extra cylenoid mounted up to the left. I was wanting to see I'd anyone might have...

well that was it !! sheesh what a deal !! the RIGHT stick was in the wrong position !!! I forgot all about the auxillary hydrolics sheesh THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH !! : )))

ya know it does seem as if the hydros are stuck on because the motor is under some stress, when the storm passes I am going to check the right lever and try that, then i will let you know, thanks for the help so far ! : )

thanks! where is the relief valve located?

oops it does tilt out but not back and it drives fine

I have a 1989 642b. we were digging a week ago all was good, went out yesterday and fired it up and the pedals did not work. after bit the left pedal would raise the arms if you held the pedal in just the right spot then to lower it you need to jam your foot down on it and the right tilt pedal...

So kinda like back in the day if your car "ran on " you would put it in gear then turn it off so the load may help shut it down? This really drove me crazy and want to say THANKS again for all the great info. Duane

Ok well this part is the cylanoid that is part of the anti-dieseling kit. it was stuck wide open creating a big vacuum leak, so i checked on the cylanoid and it is 248.00 sooo i bypassed it and it runs better than it ever has. Does anyone see a problem with bypassing it?? thanks again for all...

also we took this cylanoid off and connected it to a battery and it is not moving. going to go to the bobcat place today to see what it is...

Yes it has that engine. this connects to the very top of the carb then passes thru this and then to the intake manifold. its not really connected the carb but there is a cast iron piece thats on the top of the carb that it is connected to.

One vacuum hose comes from the piece of cast is on top of the carb, then goes to this valve/cylanoid and then a vacuum hose goes from this part to the intake manifold.

Hey, thanks Mike !!! I was wondering why they stacked up.

Ok, well... we put all the new parts on and guess what....yep...still the same. Soooo after a lot of head scratching and thinking "vacuum leak" we took a look at a some sort of cylnoid up just right of the carb. It has 2 good size vacuum lines and a hot and ground wire going to it from a ballas...

WOW thanks for all the replys and info !!! We have the cap, rotor, plugs and points so we are going to do them one at a time tonight. also we were told to check the oil in the governer...never heard of that before.

well it is still the same. doesn't make any sense that it could be the points but they look pretty worn so that's on the list.
