Title: minipetter parts
Post by: ronsmith on October 14, 2006, 10:18:58 PM: Does anyone know where I can get a rocker box cover gasket and an o-ring for the fuel injector for my 3.5 minipetter? I tried George but no luck.

Post by: Doug on October 15, 2006, 01:54:41 AM: You may need to make the gasket, not hard but use Cork....
The copper washer you want, find a Bosche dealer that rebuilds injection pumps, the one I deal with here in Sudbury seems to be able to fabricate or find anypart even stuff that isn't Bosche.

Check your decompressor handle for an O ring that fits in the groove near the handle end. If its Missing thats a Cat part ( Or rather I found a perfect match in CAT O ring spares kit. But its probably a standard size ring. )

I don't know how big a mini Petter rocker box cover gasket is but I have a spare for big Petter. Post rough guess measurements and I'll see If it the same and Maybe I can copy it or part with it....

Post by: ronsmith on October 15, 2006, 02:59:20 AM: The o-ring I need goes around the injector shaft in a groove about halfway down the shaft and the the shaft slides down into the injector hole. I guess it makes and airtight seal around the injector shaft.

Post by: Doug on October 15, 2006, 03:25:07 AM: Can you give me the MICO part number on the Injector?

If Heinneger can get the ring or match it up to my spare injector ( provided yours is the same as mine ). I'll get a quote for the parts and PM you....

Post by: Doug on October 15, 2006, 11:45:09 PM: Same injector as my spare....
Wednesday I'm off work and time permitting I'll see if I can get a Bosch part or number of a part you can track.

Post by: ronsmith on October 18, 2006, 01:48:31 PM: Doug, Would you know the torque setting on the 4 head bolts on the 3.5hp minipetter? the bolts measure about 1/2" diameter and it takes a 19mm socket to remove the nuts on them.

Ron,

`m gonna take an edumedicated guess at 65 (sixty-five) foot pounds. Sorry about not answering this question on your other post, I got distracticated.

Post by: Doug on October 18, 2006, 10:01:02 PM: I have torque settings for the head bolts for the Big Petter but in metric and I haven't converted back yet...

I can't get my head bolts to budge so I assume the torque is mind bending...

Bad day, after 3 weeks of tinkering my Gib key is getting ugly. I haven't enough room for any sort of puller.
The Key is soft and the marks from its setting lead me to believe some force was used to set it ( to say the least

Stripped 4 studs for my Rocker Box trying to get access to pul the head.
5/16 W bolts are $4.00 a piece

Post by: ronsmith on October 18, 2006, 11:46:10 PM: I have my minipetter torqued to 90lbs now but it still weeps a little antifreeze around the bolts. When I got it brand new it was weeping coolant around the bolts. Im going to take off the head this weekend and clean the valves and ports. Possibly regrind the valves.
Title: Re: minipetter parts
Post by: Doug on October 19, 2006, 01:23:21 AM: No fear of coolant weeping on mine.

I don't think I've ever seen 4 nuts screwed so tight in my life.

My head checked out flat, but I took the option to cut new seats as insurance...
I just wish I could swap the heads out...

Also can my old one be dissembled? The old one is down to only one jet spraying and I have soaked it in acetone and blew air into it but it wont unclog. Engine wont start on one spray. :(

I think I have answered this one elsewhere, but just to recap:

The part number is for the nozzle holder, the nozzle itself will have a separate coding and the nozzle CAN be sourced by itself.

To strip it down, undo the sleeve cap at the nozzle end and it should drop out. Part number is marked on the nozzle body.

There are pictures of CAV and Bryce injectors in various stages of undress on our website in the CAV section.

The injector will need resetting properly, I'll try and get a pressure setting and more Mico information tomorrow at work.
