Hose is for the impulse pressures connecting crankcase to fuel pump side of the carburetor

Aloha from Hawaii…thank you for the hints and tips! Our first Miata was a 2015 Club PRHT w/ auto but a week ago we picked up a stick shift 2006 Ltd Edition and I’ll use your method to check/clear drains. I had to laugh during your video as I’m also a trombone player and your solution with the slide cleaner had me going, “Now why didn’t I think of that??”

I find it easier to push the trombone cleaner up from under the car until it comes out the top
@teppetrumpet Жыл бұрын
I've never tried that, but from what I've read there's a one-way rubber flap/check-valve in the drain line that could be damaged by forcing something up from the bottom. On the other hand, I'm not sure how important the check valve is - perhaps just to keep insects from crawling up?
@josephthomas2226 Жыл бұрын
@@teppetrumpet you are absolutely correct, that is why they don't recommend coming up from the bottom. However, I have always had a hard time snaking the brush from the top - it always seems to get stuck and bend and not make it through. So I decided I'll take my chances with the rubber membrane and still clear my pipe. About once a year my car gets filled with water, which is a bigger problem for me than keeping bugs (or whatever) from coming up from the bottom. I assume I have already wrecked that flap!

My transformer between the 2 tabs is 1500 ohms. Does that mean its bad?
@teppetrumpet Жыл бұрын
I’m not 100% sure, but that may indicate there’s a break in the coil winding wire. It should be close to zero ohms.

Yes. It hasn’t gotten re-clogged. I use the brush every couple years to keep it clear, just in case.

For years I have been unable to clean the drain holes with the trombone brush so I was taking it to dealer and paying about $200 each time. Using the tube as you suggested worked great, so easy. Big, big saving going forward. Thanks a ton!
@lenjones392 жыл бұрын
Could you not have used a air hose with a compressor? Wouldn't forced air going into a hole unblocked it, therefore not necessary to use water to flush it? Just a thought. What do you think?
@jerrysorrell49072 жыл бұрын
I’m betting this problem wasn’t caused by the kill switch but probably by the PTO interlock switch not being in the correct position (ie operated when it shouldn’t be or not operated when it should be). The wiring “diagram” is very poorly done and doesn’t show the internals of the PTO interlock switch.

I also could not get the trombone cleaner down the passenger side drain hole. After I used a really fat straw to push the trombone wire through I was able to get it out the bottom. I had the car 14 years and only ever got the driver side to open. Thanks a million!!!! Now I have both drains working great 👍😃!!

Thank you so much! I could not for the life of me get any kind of brush down there, it was so clogged. Using your tip I had a small length of plastic tubing that was just large enough for the brush I bought. And with another source giving me a more precise location 10 o'clock if you're facing the passenger side from the driver's or 2 o'clock if you're facing the driver's from the passenger side I was able to get the clog cleared and it should now be draining properly.
@TrimbleDC3 жыл бұрын
Great tip. I will try this - like you I have not been able to find the drain hole with the trombone cleaner alone. Keeping my fingers crossed! What was not clear by the video is if the hose will naturally line up with the drain plug once inserted - what stops the hose from directing the trombone cleaner in the wrong direction?
@teppetrumpet3 жыл бұрын
The rubber hose needs to stick through the square hole about 2 or 3 inches before it engages with the drain tube. The top of the drain tube is tapered, so the rubber hose pushes into it about 1/2 inch and makes a relatively tight seal. From what I recall, it was easy to find the top of the drain tube with the hose. Using a flashlight through the square hole helps to see where the top of the drain tube is, before inserting the rubber hose.

Well I did this exactly as he said I found a hose and I did exactly what he said.the passenger side is different to the drivers side But having said that I managed to get the trombone cleaner in there and cleaned all the bits .I then stuck boiling water down the hole and finally I could see the end results I tried to find the holes without the hose but still struggled so tried it one more time with the hose. I have been trying to resolve this for few hours and for couple of weekends. So far I just wanted to say a big thank you for the tip it worked . Kind regards

m lead on ing. switch is where gd is coming from only in the off pos if gd is on that lead in run pos. the ing switch is bad its coming apart in side i dont think a relay is involved in this you can run with this lead cut till you get a switch if you have a solenoid on the carb that will kill the eng in the off pos for those folks with this prob this wire on mine is awhite wire just above the muffler you can cut this lead and cut grass ok till you get a switch------ once a switch starts failing it causes other problems
