DIY Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool
While working on my van , I needed to remove the serpentine belt. The tools are for sale at different places, but I wanted to fabricate it myself. More adaptors may be needed for other automobiles.

How to Clean a Carburetor
มุมมอง 20K10 ปีที่แล้ว
How to clean a carburetor using an ultrasonic cleaner. The motorcycle is a 1972 Yamaha CT2 (175CC). In this video I describe how to remove the carburetor. I explain the parts of the carburetor and how to disassemble and clean in an ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight. Here is the tool I used: www.harborfreight.com/25-liter-ultrasonic-cleaner-95563.html
Rust is a big pain here in the rust belt with an 18 year old car, been fighting a rotor all afternoon and was running out of ideas, thanks for a couple of good ones I’ll try in the morning. I aero-kroled it and maybe sitting over nite it will loosen up!
Good afternoon sir hope your day is going well! I love this test light video and the other one as well regarding the computer safe logic probe both are awesome videos! I would love to see more videos of both test lights cause you explain very well in detail step by step in such a calm and peaceful manner which helps alot of people that learn at different paces and not quickly all the time. Are you able to do a video of how to backprobe an ignition coil pack connector or any other connectors correctly and zoom it in close to see how it's supposed to be done right using a t-pin, paper clip or etc?
Many people don't know this. The brake caliper can be used to push off the rotor.
Just put a coating of never seize or silicon brake grease on the hub face and inside of the rotor face and it won't rust together again.
I'm up here in northern Ohio, in the snow n salt. I always coat the inside surfaces with anti seize. Never again have to fight with the same one!
$14 for a new one at Harbor Freight
Do u know where to get the bracket that the kickstand is connected to my bike is missing it and I can’t find it anywhere
That looks pretty good previous videos i watched suggested that we use a palm sander to remove the rust which not only removed the rust but wore down the etchings, A further suggestion was to paint the etchings black and re sand which was useless and did more damage than good
Very good video thank you it helps
i buy starret squares.....mines going on 20 years....still flawless....
you're also a loser
Chuck it up in a drill
Send me one
Can You link this adapter?
DO Not breathe the gas. Hydrogen gas could build up in your lungs and suffocate you. Or attach to oxygen molecules and combust. This is very dangerous inside the house. CLR Calcium Lime and rust remover. Vinegar Or lemon and or Lime juice, you need a mild acid. I've got 3- 4 of them I've let rust over the years I might do this will all of them at one time.
Update please!
The industry should make the tools like this Man did...thank you..will be welding the same tool...
Look at eBay item number 283472214343 Better quicker and cheaper just need a grinder or simler device ;)
P M88TOX thanks
The "approx 15 degrees" is 27 degrees actually
dont buy from tungstenmate they take forever to ship and will not respond on ebay after the sell
I agree wish this, orderded it 5 weeks agoo. Nothing deliverd and no response on my emails
Thank you for teaching us the uses of the test light, great film for myself 👍
Thankyou for taking the time to do up a video!
I appreciate the comment. If you want to see more content subscribe and send me your ideas.
You restoring the bike? If you are I will watch more videos of the rebuilding process.
I’m building a cafe racer, so complete tear down and rebuild. I’ll make more videos about it. Let me know if there are specific requests.
I will stay tuned.
As a TIG welder I would like to say thanks thanks for the video. Which video of yours explains why you prefer a test light to the Harbor Freight logic probe?
Using a basic electrical test light. Is the video name.
If it isn't FET driven it isn't computer safe
Awesome video brother 🤘🏽
I have this logic probe. It works, meh. Things i don't like. Cord is a coiled cord like a phone, and it is too short. The coil acts like a spring and the clamps pop off the battery terminals if you put tension on the wire. A 10 foot straight wire would be much better. Second, the bulbs are dim and hard to see. Thing I like, it's cheap. I still have this, use it sometimes, but usually just to check power/ground yes/no. Since this is computer safe, I also will check yes/no power to a sensor. I have a powerprobe, but if you energize the tip while probing a sensor, you WILL destroy the computer. The main drawback to this probe is that while it will tell you yes/no on power/ground it doesn't tell you actual voltage. The power probe has a built in volt meter, so you know if the circuit is actually alive. A 5V reference signal at 2 volts means the whole circuit is down and the car won't start, but the lojic probe will still light green while the power probe will show you actual voltage. Like I said, meh. It works, but understand its limitations. There is a reason this is $10 and a power probe III $100. I usually pop the circuit breaker on the power probe before I test a sensor circuit anyway, because one slip up and you're buying a new computer. Powerprobe still works as a logic probe and meter even with a popped circuit breaker.
Hi Mark; very good video and explanations; Thank you very much.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge keep it up!
Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Hey for $10 bucks you can't go wrong
Nice video! i purchased the same cleaner yesterday to clean the carbs off my atv and dirt bike ; however, I noticed that it said on the back of the little solution bottle you used, "Not to use on aluminum", so I didn't buy it. I'm in the process of trying to find a simple safe degreaser for aluminum alloys, but so far no luck.
spend the money and get a Waekon SST42V Pistol Probe, gives audio and light indicators. works on pulse and hall affect
How can you use it if you were checking wires at the back of a vehicle, like a truck, a long bed 4-door? Would it still work if you carried a different battery with you that was not connected to the vehicl at all?
Love the corn field in the Heartland. Does your test light work on a John Deere Combine?
thanks I'm going to buy one right now and i have a 20% coupon thanks
thanks
I like you basic use videos. My son wants to be a mechanic and these videos will help him understand some things a little better. When are you going to make a new video?
+M Welch Thanks for the comment. I have been shooting some video this weekend. Let me know if you have ideas for new videos.
good stuff. I like the details. How do you like that ultrasonic cleaner?
+M Welch I use it often. It works well for cleaning.
thanks for the video, I didnt know hf sold those.
A cheaper solution for the power probe testers! nice video man!
WOW that's such a nice video, just what I was looking for! I'm a mechanic myself, and I must say, that it's nice to see someone who knows what they are doing and care about the quality of work they perform. You're really awesome man!! :D
get a power probe bro
I would like one 😊
I LIKE YOUR VIDIEO
Nice video. Simple and helpful. Thanks! Just found the next tool I need to buy!
You should do videos with your Yamaha.
Good idea, I am planning on a reed upgrade and basic porting video.
Thanks! Great video. Saw it earlier and remembered it when I needed to test my battery terminals on a vehicle. By the way, I like the ring!
What a waste of products, all you would have to do is use a strong vinegar and a little elbow grease.
Yes, vinegar would probability work. I wanted to try a different way this time. I appreciate your comment.
+Technically Speaking with Mark Steensland, If you have the time this beats scrubbing on it.
Sometimes we have to use what we have! Not what also works. Besides it got the Job Done!
I would love to see you demonstrate even the simplest tools, such as a screw driver, pliers and a wrench.
Hey how about a toolbox tour of your toolbox, check out mine on my channel let me know if you are going to do your love to see what others have collected over the years thanks for the vids love to watch you can always learn from others unless your a know it all.
It is great and I need to buy if you have different DC testers and let me know them .Thanks
Mark, nice tips as well as making a video for us to learn.
Hi Mark, great video review. I was surfing to learn what the difference is between a "Computer safe", tester and a conventional tester. I was testing some wires coming out of my truck door to find a hot wire going to the courtesy light. Using an insulation piercing tool, I tested all 6 wires and discovered my circuit was not in that group. My concern is that in the process, I noticed a "Service 4WD" appear on the driver info display. It was only momentary and no problem noticed. What I did notice is the next day I had a CEL which said there was an O2 sensor problem (open or high resistance in heater circuit), and I also noticed my a/c vent control actuator didn't work. I can either believe it's purely coincidental, or my circuit tester / wire piercing tool is to blame. I just wanted to know what the actual harm in using an "old fashion" tester is, if any. Thanks!
