Hi all.I got me a Noma. It will not go foward in any gear,and it hardly goes backwards.When i push down on the handle to make it go,the cable comes up and there is a screw on it.If i adjust that screw will it make a difference,or could it be the friction wheel?Thanks,Don
I did as you said,when i hold the lever in,the friction disc is tight against the plate.the disc and plate are both dry and clean.If the wheel is bad,dont you think that it would move when its supposed to be engaged?
I think the disk is connected to the engine via gears and chains and the friction wheel connects to the drive wheels. If that is so then when you turn the wheels by hand the friction wheel should turn. If you then engage the traction clutch the wheels should be close to impossible to turn since you are trying to turnover the engine. If they turn and both the friction wheel and disk turn then the problem is further along the drive train towards the engine. If only the friction wheel turns then its slipping. The most usual suspect is the friction wheel since it is the one that get the most abuse but I have heard of other stuff happening, such as the drive chain coming off. I'm not familiar with the differential or remote trigger units so I can't advise there. I think your unit has a pin lock system.
A light just went on, did you check to make sure both wheel lock pins are in place and working. The wheels aren't spinning on the axle?
It's all done.It was the friction wheel.We are supposed to get dumped on this afternoon,and the old man who owns the noma was calling me at 7 this morning to get it done.I don't like working on things without a manual.But what are you going to do with a impatient old man?Thanks for your help.Don
