Message: <blockquote data-quote="jimvw57" data-source="post: 86876" data-attributes="member: 12313"><p>Finally got a chance to spend a few hours checking out the damages. The whole story was that it developed a fuel leak which caught fire, and burned the wiring. His wife grabbed a fire extinguisher and got the fire out, but made quite a mess! The wiring that was damaged, went to the fuel pump, and some sort of sensor in the hydraulic tank. I gently separated the charred remains and was able to figure out which wire went where. Luckily there were only three wires and the fuel line melted together. I decided to reroute the wiring to NOT go over the top of the motor, and right past the exhaust (which I believe started the whole problem) I re-routed the fuel line to also avoid the exhaust, and secured it so it would not bounce around, but still has some flex for motor movement (if needed) Not sure if the coil was damaged, but one spark wire was toast. After pulling apart the intake, and carb for a thorough cleaning, and wrapping all the wires to prevent rubbing, I tried to start the motor...... Sorry, Dead Battery!!! Gonna let it charge for awhile and try again tomorrow. I am working on this for my neighbor who has been having medical problems and was unable to finish the repair. He did get it partially pulled apart before he was sidelined. I am still looking through the pile of parts and upgraded parts to locate everything to put this back together. I did see him use it a few times, but I have never ran it myself. Next after I know it will run is to get the exhaust system back in shape. Not sure if it was cut off or broke (muffler) as it is separate from the 2 pipes that go down to the cylinders. Then gotta piece together the mount for the muffler. Does not look like it had an air filter on it, but I think it should have one.</p></blockquote><p></p>
