emergency kill flap

[ridge logger]

Is there someone who can show a picture of the emergency kill flap on a detroit and where to get one or how to build one

[goose63]

If I recall the kill flap is inside the blower

[jwilly3879]

It is in the housing right before the blower.

It is inside the blower. There will be a little toggle on one side. On a power unit, that may be the only way to activate it. On my skidder, there are two cables in the dash. One for normal shut down, and one for emergency, which flips the flap shut.

my skidder  didn't have that cable on it so i am trying to put one on for that just in case

[goose63]

On the old 318s I think the toggle was on the left side [I think] its been a long time now

on my664c w/ 353 Detroit it is just before the supercharger toward the cab. If you pull the emergency you have to reset the flap manually.

unless your engine is turboed you probly already have one although it may not have a dash control cable.
it is spring loaded and once tripped you have to manualy reset it.

I took a photo of the blower on the 3-53 in the Timberjack 208. You can see the cable hooked to the lever that trips the flapper on the right. The other end of the shaft is sticking out near the dipstick.

What model Detroit do you have?

3-53 in a 225. I looked last night and mine dosen't have that rod on the air intake so i will have to try and find one.
