No it will not fix it ...Not to be a jerk ...But your playing with fire and your going to loose and get burned...The ONLY way this can be fixed is to pull the top end off ,,Sorry ... I've fixed a dozen of them over the years ..Its easy for a good machinst to do in know time...Of all the motors on the planet this is one of them that you dont want to have it frag on you .. Cost and finding the parts are just two hard ..You have two things that are going to bite you in the back side..The belt maybe bad and the butterflys ..And you know Doug what will happen if ether one of these lets loose...You have been around here sents 01
Your not being a jerk, this is what this board is all about. Sounding off ideas and getting ideas and options based on the replies.
This discussion has been useful because it is providing some really good feedback on the approach of just disconnecting the actuator as a possible fix. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I also agree with you 100% with the risk versus reward of not fixing it the correct way. That is why I replaced the lower manifold myself.
Some people won't want to do this as a fix, or may not be able to afford to do this right away. I think it is a good discussion to consider possible options that decrease the risk of failure. Anything that reduces the risk of the butterfly's failing before a proper fix can be made is a good discussion. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
