Squire, Been on holidays, back now and tried what you said and found the problem. One of the relays is rooted so I rang Piranha and the bloke is going to send me a 2nd hand relay for $10 bucks and I am going to solder it in (or get someone else to do it). Better than forking out $40.00 for a new ...

Well guys, back to civilisation today (I live on Moreton Island) and I think I'll just bite the bullet and take it to an auto elec or piranha agent. It's all getting a bit too technical for me. Thanks for all the feedback nonetheless. I've learnt a bit from what you've all said. Stay tuned and I'll ...

Dodgy (high resistance) connection between primary battery and controller. Controller sees primary battery at 14V, turns on transistors to charge second battery. Increased current draw creates voltage drop across high resistance joint, so controller sees primary battery going flat and turns off. No ...

That might be it you know because the aux battery volts read at only 11.34 constant which sounds a bit dead. I'll try putting in a newer battery and see if it works. As far as the clicking noise goes, I can only hear an initial click when the power is turned on. I waited for the click indicating ...

Right. Did all that except for the aux ground on the main battery(will try that tomorrow) I still can't work it out. The red wire is connected up to power OK and the black is earthed properly but even though the charge on the main battery is showing over 14 volts charge (with a few revs) the aux ...

Piranha DBS installation

Howdy, I was wondering if anyone out there has ever installed a Piranha DBE 150s dual battery system. I've just scored one and wired it up according to the piranha website instructions but can't get get the bugger to work. My aux battery is showing voltage of 12.34 volts and the main is showing 13 ...

Guys, I had replace my plunger and spring in the 2H as well(got the longer plunger etc) and the pressure on the gauge was still up after I did it. Next thing I tried was to replace the oil pressure sender and it now reads where it should on the gauge. It makes me think it could have been a faulty ...

Just done mine. Had to take off the bash plate and put a socket on the powersteering pump. It slipped a bit but I eventually got the marks to line up.

Even if I had a socket big enough for the crankshaft pulley, I wouldn't have been able to get it in between the fan shroud and the block.

We use latest model 79 series cruisers at work and they are just coming up to the 30000k mark. I just had to send one in for a service because the 'turbo wastgate wasn't actuating' so the mechanic said. The other cruiser we've got played up a bit and used to shut down and would just idle no matter ...
