HELP - SD33T - Can't stop the engine
HELP - SD33T - Can't stop the engine
When you turn the key off the engine just keeps on running, even if you take the key out of the ignition. The only way to stop it is to stall it in gear.
I bought it AS IS like this.
Any clues to check what might be the problem here?
Thanks in advance

Just behind the injector pump you will see a part with a cable coming out of it which attatches to the pump. It looks a bit like a wiper motor. Check to see if it has power running to it, if it does then a fair chance the motor is buggered.
A cheap & permanent fix for this is to fit an after market choke cable to operate the fuel cut off. This will be no problem to the operation of the vehicle but you will have to push it in to start it & pull it out to stop it. All trucks & farm machinery had this system right up until the early 80's.
To replace the motor can be quite expensive and all it really does is let you shut the engine down with the key instead of manually.

I have an sd33 which developed the same problem, there is an injector pump control motor underneath the pump connected to a lever on the pump, the lever on the pump has 3 positions back (toward firewall) which is stop, center (which is where it will usually sit as it is springloaded to the centre) which is run, and forward (toward radiator) which i understand is the start position which should advance the injector pump.
I removed my control motor and either stalled the car (like you're doing) or pulled a piece of shoelace which i tied between the lever on the pump and the ariel (short term fix)
When i found time I just stripped the motor and its gearbox cleaned all the crap out of it, lubricated and re-assembled.
worked as good as new.
If that doesn't work it could be electrical, the gregory's manual describes how to test the associated components.
Good luck

There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots
I've got a a cable running through the fire wall with a knob on the end of it, connected just as every one else describes. Works a charm!
Mates get in the car, when i'm turning it off (or "pulling" it off ), they're like "wtf is that?!" I told someone that it's the NOS button and they replied "REALLY?!"..... Thats some relevant info right there.

yea, you can open most of it up, usually it stops due to getting dirt and grease on the contacts - inside the bit where the control lever comes out of.. just carefully disassemble it and clean, then it should work when re installed.

Any idea if spares are available?
The tiny tension-spring that holds the brushes onto the armature expired on mine, and I could do with a new one!
