 Topic: Allis Power Unit
Posted: 17 Sep 2020 at 7:59am |
I have an AC power unit that was in storage   I placed on EBAY and the buyer decided it was too far away for pickup. I am now trying to get it running so it will be worth more $$. It has a starter and I assume it would be POS to ground? is that correct? I want to spin it over until I get oil pressure before attempting to start.

If its a U power unit, it may be 6V pos ground. Don't worry too much, though, a couple of minutes of 12V might do it some good...

With just a starter ,Pos or neg will work .U have a mag and no charging system .Spin oil filer off ,when u get oil out tube you will be OK .Put filter back and go from there . Pulling the spark plugs out will help spinning it until u get oil. U can also check if u have compression be for starting ,if carb and mag work.

If all else fails ,Read all that is PRINTED.
Just because you do not have the tools for job , it dose not make it a bad design.

I have received several questions about this. I don't know what its worth since it doesn't run. I got oil coming up thru the tube but haven't got magento sent out for repair yet. the starter works after i oiled the little gear on the end of the starter shaft and tapped it back and forth. I placed it on eBay at $200 and was hoping it would go to $500-600 but it didn't. SO make me an offer. just remember its located in Western PA and its HEAVY!

Cost was $250.00 to get magneto repaired so its NOT going with power unit. Guy that wanted last year ran into some $$ problems so Its for sale again. never installed magneto since is cold and will wait until spring to try to start.
