Fitted a cheap o2-sensor, works fine but my cheap, china made gauge alredy driving me insane with all it’s flashing rainbow colors
I installed a thermocouple in the exhaust to.
I made a more permanent mounting of the license plate, the short piece of angle-iron is for mounting the plate lighting.
Probably tomorrow i get my new rear springs, reinforced “trailer-pulling springs” and also they are for a station wagon, so probably i get the rear end up a little (it looks kinda saggy at the moment), i have no idea what the gasifier weighs, i was able to lift it, but i have no idea.
250lbs? Around 113kg? I don’t think i can lift that heavy nowadays
Edit: i got two stages of lifting heavy: stage one, it tastes blood in the back of the mouth.
Stage two, it tastes blood and sh*t in the back of the mouth, knees shaky.
Not up in any of these stages when lifting the gasifier, maybe 90kg?
Years ago I replaced a huge sliding door with an overhead door with electric lift at the local lumbet yard where train cars unloaded. An employee came up to me later and thanked me. He said it was his job to push that old door open each morning and it made his anus (he used a different word) stand out like a donut. I still laugh about that.
On my way home, couldn’t put this in the “Summer 2024” topic, because this is no summer…
Observe the white-ish stuff… 4inches of it this morning, luckily most melted away, but it has snowed all day.
I had to cut deeper than my angle grinder was able to. Please don’t do this, it is stupid.
By the way: i wonder why the magical smoke use to leak out my angle grinders way before i used them a lot?
dr göran, i see a cussin on a foto…do you work also in your bedroom ???
is the angle grinder a makita? my makitas make easy a short circuit on the switch, caused by metal dust what sucks in the grinder by airflow…some glue on the contacts help to avoid this problem…i found the error after 2 makitas has had the same problem with burning switches .
nice work as always…
Hi giorgio, no, bedroom is only for thinking and reading
I guess you mean my old bed-cover i use when i need to get under cars, if i lay down directly to the cold ground i have trouble getting up again
The angle grinder is a Biltema, Swedish box-store brand, they has gone bad in quality, often the windings short
Hi Stuie, a little warning about the first video, the old guy (Lennart) did this mostly for show, running charcoal gasifiers on wood chips and pine cones is not a good idea, runs well, but filters clogged only in some kilometers.
Also a big risk of tar all the way in the engine.
I couldn’t withstand the temptation, i taped up gas outlet and condensate pipe, and put some charcoal, ash and wood in (it’s “vintage” chunks, i got them from an old gasifier, more than 70 years old )
Fired up and got a flare after some 15 minutes
Well… the idea with the guide was maybe good, but the result was… sh*t… no tig-welding here, i just used the mig for the ease of filling those egg-shaped holes against the smaller pipes…
The good old days when they made a lot of space under the hood of the engine compartment so you could work on a engine or put a condensation tank also in there and still have room.
