Hi folks,
I got 2 Wacker RT820's recently to hopefully get one going. The Lombardini engines cost an arm and a leg to work on, so I've converted one (with the worst engine) over to a Predator 670cc from Hobba Flate.
There are still tasks to be done on the conversion; tonight I lit up the spools by touching bare wires together. Everything responded, but forward/reverse would only move the drums a couple degrees. They need to be overhauled.
Does anyone have any information (manuals, videos, blog posts, conjecture) on the teardown, repair and reassembly of the drums/excitors?
Thanks for any help!
