I dont think i have ever seen this before, But i am interested in knowing if there is any diagram showing details of the 00vi internally. I was having problems with my power rod getting stuck after a few runs. I removed the rubber and plastic rings, put the rod back in, and problem gone. but the rod rattles a little bit when closed, So i just wanted to see the design internally and see what was possibly causing it to get stuck, the rubber rings, or the plastic rings. Maybe one of them expands under alot of heat or certain conditions and causes friction.

 

Icey2k1 had pictures of it cut open at one point in time but I don't remember what thread he posted them in. Search through his posts.

 

Thanx Kevlo, I found his cardomain, he has awsome pictures that will help me. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/419735

 

Now that i made a little observation with the pictures, I come to the conclusion that the rubber rings are the ones that cause the rod to get stuck or very hard to move. Any clue how this can be fixed. I was thinking maybe putting grease inside the groove before putting the ring.

 

Hmmm, those pictures give me all kinds of ideas

 

Thats a great link!

 

there should be a way to upload images to maxima.org so that we could convert external howto into interternal howto.... that way images dont get lost and links dont die
