Hi all, I would appreciate your help. i have recently purchased an ASV RC30 knowing there were issues. Originally the drive would get lazy on the left when hot. Long story, but I tracked this down to a missing o-ring in the left motor. I have had both motors apart and put a seal kit through them. No obvious wear in the rotating element. After fixing this and lots of other small issues, i finally have it working. I have used it all weekend and generally it seems ok. The original problem that would happen after 20 mins work has gone. But the problem is i have never driven one before and think it is lacking power (but have nothing to compare it to). I find that i am always running this at full revs or close to it. Is this normal? Also at home i have a small very steep section. I struggle to get up it. It is mildly worse when hot and if loaded it wont go up at all. The motor doesn't stall, it just stops moving. if i try to turn the machine part way up the bank it wont go anywhere. I have a test gauge on the pilot pressure and when this issues happens the pressure drops, so i assume oil is bypassing somewhere (it is the same forwards and reverse) I am wondering is the drive pressure relief valves are opening early? But i thought if this were the issue it would only happen in one direction (forwards or reverse) I am planning to test the drive pressure but any other advise, ideas from someone who has seen this before would be appreciated. Regards GM
Did you find the issue with your pilot pressure?
