Nyt viety korjaamolle. Josko alkaisi vika löytymään. Olen tehnyt koneeseen kattavan remontin. Jakopääsarja laitettu, kansi hiottu huono kantasella ja painetarkastettu. Joka ikinen Stefa ja tiivistesarja vaihdettu. Kaikki anturit vaihdettu. Tankin polttoainepummpu vaihdettu, polttoainesuodatin vaihdettu. Suuttimet vaihdettu. Turbo vaihdettu. Stampperi ja hihnapyörät vaihdettu, hihnat vaihdettu.polttoaineletkuja vaihdettu konehuoneeseen. Moottorista ei vaan lähde ilma pois. Käy joskus kauankin, ajoin yksi päivä jopa puolituntia ongelmitta. Sitten ei taas toiminut. Oma osaaminen ja mielenkiinto on nyt kyllä loppu. 4200€ on mennyt osiin ja monta sataa tuntia tekemiseen. Vaihto voisi kiinnostaa: traktoriin, bensa autoon, matkamoottoripyörään, vesikulkuneuvoon.
