Just replaced the fuse in my A/C system and hooked up the belt to run the compressor and switched it on.... Derlummmm - Engine stalled.Tried starting again with out the A/C and the car ran very poorly, maybe 2000 rpm with max throttle.Figured the timing was out - it was. I advanced a cog and got the timing set up again. A/C on - same thing.I disconnected the A/C belt and tried turning the inner shaft with hands. Very hard to turn.Has anyone seen this before with a compressor and could it cause the dissy to jump a tooth?????? I find it hard to believe that a strong load could cause the dissy to mess up...Gonna look around for a new comp/dryer etc...Steve

I've seen them seize, yes. Don't know about the timing - perhaps your timing belts are loose.

No timing belts, should have said.

 

Tis an EA81 with hitachi carb.

 

Have priced a reman comp and dryer. Will get them ordered this week.

 

Need a new carb as well. When spraying carb cleaner about the vac lines and carb, there was definately a lot of rev action going on when cleaner hit the carb.

 

I hear people mention that the weber is just as much of a pain as the Hitachi - what exactly is the major complaint with them?

Not really - it all depends on how you do it. New/used, rebuilt yourself, wireing, plumbing, ect, ect.

 

Once you have done a few it becomes very easy.

Sounds great

 

What kind is the comp?

 

Hitachi or the other one?

 

Is it R134 already?

 

Do you also have the carb throttle kick-back lever????
