The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 19: The Outdated CA10
The history of Shougang can be traced back to the Longyan Iron Mine Company during the Republic of China period.

In December 1964, China's first 12-ton oxygen top-blown converter was built, and it was the first steel company in China to adopt blast furnace coal injection technology.

In 1978, steel production reached 179 million tons, making it one of the top ten steel companies in the country.

It can be said that Capital Steel Plant is definitely a key enterprise of this era, and it offers very good benefits.

In their parking lots, you can see many Jiefang brand trucks produced by FAW, as well as some BJ130 light trucks produced by the Capital Second Automobile Works.

What Jiang Hui needs to repair today is a CA10 Jiefang truck.

If this product were put in later generations, it would definitely be outdated, but it was the main vehicle model in China's transportation market at that time.

FAW's first generation product was the Jiefang CA10, which was a copy of the Polar Bear GAZ-150.

In the early 60s, the Jiefang CA10 vehicle underwent some technical improvements and the vehicle model was designated as the CA10B truck.

At that time, the production reached the design level, with an average production rate of one vehicle every five minutes, and the annual output accounted for 80% of the national vehicle production.

Jiang Hui didn't expect that such a common truck would be hard to find anyone to repair.

It seems that the car repair skills of people of this era are really average.

"The engine of this car has not started properly. Please check it first and make sure you are confident that you can fix it before you start."

"If you don't have confidence, forget it."

When Jiang Hui walked around CA10, Li Jianfeng felt that he was pretending and his tone was not very friendly.

These days, any car is very valuable.

If the car is not repaired and instead gets worse, that would be a big problem.

In this era, when enterprises and institutions purchase cars, they need to evaluate based on the company's level, output value, profit, fixed assets, etc.

When relevant units need to purchase vehicles, they must first apply to the competent authority, and only after review and approval in accordance with national regulations can they be allocated planned indicators.

The State General Administration of Materials then issues a car supply certificate, and the company uses the certificate to buy the car.

It can be said that the contradiction between supply and demand of automobiles has always been prominent.

"Most of the Jiefang trucks on the road now are of the CA10B type. The CA10 model from years ago is considered a relatively rare model."

"But I am confident that I can fix all its problems."

At this time, Jiang Hui must show off his skills appropriately.

Otherwise, if you come here and get kicked out without earning 100 yuan, it would be a real loss.

"How do you know it's CA10 and not CA10B?"

Li Jianfeng naturally knew what model the faulty vehicle in front of him was, but Jiang Hui could tell it at a glance, and there was a bit more anticipation in his eyes.

Maybe this young man can really fix it?
"The characteristic of Jiefang CA10B is that the windows on the driver's and co-driver's sides are both equipped with hinges, and both windshields can be pushed open for ventilation."

"On the Jiefang CA10, only the driver's window is hinged."

Most people definitely don’t know this kind of detail, but who is Jiang Hui?

"The logo of the Jiefang CA10B is stamped directly on the grille, which simplifies the pattern on the Jiefang CA10 grille and removes the red circular logo."

"However, the front face grid of Jiefang CA10B is the same as Jiefang CA10, with 9 lines and 18 grids, which is sometimes easy to confuse people."

A simple common-sense answer gave Li Jianfeng more confidence in Jiang Hui.

As for Chen Chenxing next to him, he was holding a notebook and quickly recording what Jiang Hui said. These things are not something you can easily find by reading a book.

"The repair toolbox is under the front of the car. You guys can study it first. I'm in the office next door. Feel free to come and see me if you need anything."

Li Jianfeng felt relieved after confirming that Jiang Hui was not here just for fun.

Otherwise, even with the recommendation of Chen Chenxing's father, he would not dare to let Jiang Hui dismantle the car casually.

When Li Jianfeng walked away, Chen Chenxing came over immediately and said, "Master, the engine of this car can't start normally. The people from Shougang have been tinkering with it for more than a week, but they still can't fix it."

"If they still can't be repaired, they will have to ask FAW to come and repair it."

"But this process is quite troublesome and time-consuming, and it will definitely cost a lot of money in the end."

"So after my dad talked to the people in the logistics department, they agreed to let us come over and give it a try."

Although the people from Shougang couldn't repair this CA10, they definitely knew that the people from FAW could fix it.

However, Shougang would definitely not be willing to ask for help unless it is absolutely necessary.

"If the engine can start, but it is very difficult to start, and it cannot run continuously after starting, it is most likely a problem with the carburetor."

Jiang Hui sat in the driver's seat and tried to start the CA10.

I tried several times in a row, but it either failed or it succeeded for a few seconds before stalling.

In this case, he can basically determine that the problem is with the carburetor.

People at Shougang are probably more familiar with CA10B, but not so much about the old carburetor on CA10.

If you have a brand new carburetor, you can just replace it and the problem will basically be solved.

Of course, replacing parts at every turn is a common car repair method used by 4S stores in later generations.

In this day and age, when repairing a car, people usually avoid replacing parts if possible.

Three years of new life, three years of old life, and another three years of mending.

This attitude towards clothes is similar to the attitude people of this era have towards various automobile parts.

"I know about the carburetor. It is an important component of the engine. Its function is to atomize the fuel and mix it evenly with the air to obtain a certain proportion of combustible mixed gas so that the mixed gas can burn well in the cylinder."

Chen Chenxing had obviously been reading carefully during this period. As soon as Jiang Hui mentioned the carburetor, he memorized some related introductions from the textbook.

"You're right. The most common carburetor failure is oil line blockage."

As Jiang Hui spoke, he opened the engine cover and prepared to teach Chen Chenxing step by step how to disassemble the carburetor.

As a very classic engine of this era, there are models of it in the laboratory of the Vehicle Engineering Department of Capital Institute of Technology.

It only took Jiang Hui a few minutes to successfully remove some parts around the carburetor.

"There are generally a few reasons why a carburetor is clogged: the main oil hole, foam tube, main nozzle, or the accelerator oil and gas passage is clogged."

"When the air holes around the main nozzle are blocked by dirt, the air entering through the air star hole oil well cannot penetrate into the main nozzle to form a foam mixture, resulting in poor fuel atomization."

"When the engine is unloaded, the accelerator is not easy to increase the speed, the carburetor backfires, and the power feels insufficient during driving, and the engine stalls easily and is difficult to idle."

"During maintenance, press the accelerator pedal quickly and continuously, and use the emergency acceleration device to add oil to the throat. If it runs normally and the flameout disappears, the main oil supply device is blocked. It can be disassembled, cleaned and unblocked, and replaced with new parts if necessary."
