CA20-2k Battery tab welder triggers but doesn’t weld - fixed
I purchased this low cost battery tab welder but it didn’t work out of the box. It appeared to work, but no matter what power I set it to it didn’t weld. I tried a lead acid 12v car battery, as well as a lithium jump starter. The lithium jump starter reads 17v and has been working awesome as the power source for years, once I fixed the battery tab welder!

2006 Jetta TDI takes a while to start (three or four cranks before it starts) - fixed
มุมมอง 2.2K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
If your Jetta tdi doesn’t start on the first turn over, you may have an issue with the camshaft position sensor, or more likely an issue with the wiring, which was what my issue was. Note that if your Jetta takes longer than three or four turnovers you may have a fuel issue. ie high pressure pump, fuel tank vacuum problem (wrong fuel cap that cannot breathe), for example.

I recently built up the drive sprocket on my old 200 series excavator by stick welding material onto the teeth.

So far the teeth are holding up, and they have molded nicely to the bushings. The drive system works much better than it did before. Previously th...
Hand crank sewing machine - sewing a water bottle carrier
มุมมอง 353 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a little demo of my hand cranked sewing machine sewing a water bottle holder that in my opinion was a poor design. This was because the water bottles were too loose in the carrier, allowing them to fall out, and the entire thing would also bounce up and down when running because of the sideways design. The best water bottle holders I have ever used are the ones that are vertically mounte...
2006 Jetta TDI Grey Smoke at Startup

Does anyone know how to do a factory reset on this model? Mine cuts out then starts again sometimes.😅
The oil impregnated bronze washers do you remember what size and how thick they were and where you ordered the berings from
And the washers
I can't believe it has already been 7 years since I rebuilt that. Recently I have been using this excavator a lot, and it still works great! Washers from ebay: OILITE TT2001-B 1" ID x 2" OD x 3/16" Oil-Impregnated Bronze Thrust Washer Pkg/10 Was there another washer you were also asking about?
Bearings were also from ebay: INA NCS-1616 Needle Roller Bearing 1.5"OD 1"ID 1"W. I think I cross referenced that from the Terex part # 1217-250
good stuff nice car keep her on the road for years to come 💪
Good work friend 😊
Just replace the whole harness man, the wiring is so weak now.
Nice job maintaining the diesel 👌👍
That was interesting. The air pressure was a good idea. If it was me I would remove the tank, drain it completely and clean it then fix the deformations.
A couple times in the video I called the diesel lift pump a filter 😂 It’s not a filter, it’s the lift pump!! Note that the underlying issue as to why the tank collapsed was because the previous owners must have lost the diesel fuel cap and used abnormal gas cap that does not vent. The diesel caps vent, and that’s how the tank breathes!
You have done very well with removing this using a sledgehammer and a bar. Worth mentioning that the use of thin oil/ diesel on the old pin massively helps lubricant it during removal.
I have same model and same problem. After reading specifically on st901, I think it's only rated to 2G and 3G signal (GPRS). If your network is 4G or 5G, it won't work because they use a different protocal ( LTE). See th-cam.com/video/WOm7SMyxR1Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bqs_28GAf2SOf5Nr
ST-901: This is the original GSM/GPRS version that operates on 2G /3G networks. ST-901L: This version supports both 2G/3G and 4G LTE networks.

I drew up a top and bottom plate and sprocket in solidworks and then had the steel water jet cut at Custom Cut machine. I cut some spacers out of some scrap tube I had and welded it together. Where are you located?

Hey man i’m having the same problem, did u figure it out?
I haven’t taken it apart yet to see what the issue is. Someone has a TH-cam video of them taking the battery out of the handle bar, which seemed somewhat straight forward. I’m not sure if a control board or battery is the issue at this point. I’ll post the email that their customer support sent me.

My trekpow EXPLODED
Did you figure out what it was at the end?
Yes! My best guess at the time was that one or more injectors were leaking. I bought a set of injectors with around 70,000mi from someone on ebay. I put them in and it hasn't smoked since, which has been three years now! I recall reading that injectors are supposed to be calibrated or something, but I never did that. The injection quantity deviation values for the four cylinders are very close, and the fuel economy is around 35+MPG with mostly city driving. Unfortunately I don't believe that the injectors for the BRM engine are re-buildable, and you cannot change the tips like you can on the ALH engine, so one suggestion might be to find a set of low cost/low mileage used injectors as they are easy to put in. However, the issue could be caused by something else.
@@hlukeh Thanks for the quick reply. On my Jetta 1.9 tdi, code marks BKC, it smokes when the engine is started, for the first time. You also have a video on my channel, you can watch it. The smoke smells like diesel. I suspect the valve seals
@@Habanera1977 I watched your video, and the amount of smoke could almost be considered normal for the vehicle, if that's all it ever produces. It does look grey, indicating unburnt diesel vs oil, so the issue could be a leaky injector, but I can't say for sure.
@@hlukeh Thanks a lot

Anong rod gamit yan
I have three stories for you. You mentioned pieces of metal flying when hammering. About 18 years ago I was knocking out a u joint from a driveshaft. I was holding it over one leg and made sure I put on my eye protection and told my young boys to get away. I started hammering and after a few blows a large chip broke off and buried itself about an inch and a half into my inner thigh. Went right through a pair of coveralls and jeans. It is right next to the nerves going down my leg so it can't be removed. Crazy how much force a chip can have! I once had the tip of an air chisel break off, hit my forehead and slide up my skull under my scalp almost two inches. I had a lump on my head under the skin where it ended up. It was not easy to get out but a magnet finally did the trick and I slid it back to the entrance hole and out it came. Third story, I used to work at a hospital and met a guy that rushed in with his car and yelled "Help I have been shot". I quickly helped him to a wheelchair and rushed him into the ER. I asked him what he was doing at the time he got shot and he said he was using a sledge hammer on a wedge to split fire wood. A chip the size of a 22 cal bullet went right between his ribs and landed against his heart but luckily did not puncture it. They had to open his chest to get it out.
Same thing happened to me with a u-joint but it went into the meat of my hand, never had a wound squirt before lol
I WOULD DO WHAT M IS SAYING
I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT SPROCKET OFF THE AXL BCASE THE HEAT THAT BUILDS UP AND IT WIL RUNE THE OIL SAEL S ON THAT AXL
A word of caution: When building up sprocket teeth in this fashion, never weld one tooth, then the next in line, , then the next etc etc. The heat put into the sprocket will see you chase stress around the circumference, resulting in a sprocket that is slightly egg shaped. Weld one tooth, then chose a random other one opposite that tooth, etc etc
TRULY AMAZING DEVICE
You have amazing paitence 🤣
Thank dude like your name too homie
We used hard facing rods on ours ,,
Waste of time welding sprockets. It don’t work. It don’t hold up.
Great video!
Hi Luke, after seeing your video I bought a TJ2500, it easily started my Ford 5000 farmtractor (without any battery). Hopefully it will manage my Buick 401 and Chrysler 440 too. Hope You get promission from TrekPow!!
When I was in high school ( 63 ) I welded a sprocket and rails on a D 2. For a shop class. It took weeks but the outcome was great. That thing went 10 more years before it was junked ou
I like! I am watching repair videos as I want a few pieces of equipment, but I know I cant afford nice things, but I can repair broken things, I am very mechanical minded, ben doing mechanic work 35 years, but I have never repaired heavy equipment. I have a tractor with front loader & backhoe, but need a small dump truck, & want several other pieces, but will take time, & my area tends to be way over priced,!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway I had wondered if you could weld teeth back on, you answered my question, lol, just whether 7018 rod is best, or? I have welded off & on 35 years as well. I would probably have my wife use a rosebud tip on torch to heat gear as I build tip up. but now i wouldnt hesitate to try, & yes I watched part 2. very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nmm
They make weld in cups that make a lot more sense
I agree! I tried but couldn’t find any that were the right size :/
I tried it on my bicycle sprocket and it melts down
Is the blow bye normal on these cars getting one tomorrow and it’s the same amount of blow bye as in the video
Yes it is normal
Sounds like a fuel related problem man I have a 06 Jetta TDI and it starts smooth and doesn't smoke at all

Dude it's a diesel. They all smoke a little when cold. Unless you have a dpf filter.
Egr delete? Cams good? Injectors?
Thanks for the suggestion! I replaced the injectors with a set of used ones and now there's no more grey smoke. The hiccup has also gone away, so I think those original injectors with 360,000km were just worn. It could also have been the MAF as you suggested as the ECU could have been over fueling when starting it, but I had tested with another MAF from another car and it was still smoking when starting it up. With the new injectors the smoke is now gone!
Good job
So the real question... did it work?

Dude: Get some E7018AC, made for small box AC welders....Runs as smooth as E6013 on them...thanks for posting your work. done very well.👍👍👍
Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I started with a box of Lincoln E7018AC rods, and they did work pretty well. I was looking at another old 250A AC welder, and I noticed that it said on the front to use 7018 rods on the low output. I just checked, and the low output on this welder has a much higher open circuit voltage of 80V AC vs 50V AC for the high output. I had been using the welder on the high connection because I figured it was better as it could put out more current. That's bad thinking because after connecting to the low output, all the rods I have work! They don't stick and are much easier to weld with! The cheap Vulcan E7018 Harbor Freight rods work, and the Blueshield E7018 rods I have work! I was having trouble with both those rods previously. I've got the sprocket all built up and the track back on, and it has been working great! I built a road cutting up across the hill so we have better access to our lower field, and the track is no longer jumping, and the teeth have worn nicely with the bushings!
@@hlukeh Yep, you got it figured out right, The the lower OCV makes STANDARD 7018 hard to or impossible to strike an arc. Also the Arc voltage [when the arc is going] is 25v on small AC's [150-235 amp] 30v on med AC's [250-300 amp] and on large industrial AC's [300-600amp]t is 40v. The Arc volts keep the arc going without snuffing out.
I'm looking into it myself. I think probably dirty injectors. It's my first diesel so still researching.
it really helps to read the instructions before making a video, then you would know what the blinking lights mean.
Good call! I should have read the instructions and tested out the unit first before making the video. Sorry about that. Isn't the video more genuine though the way it is though?! I now know that immediately after connecting the relay module, I should have held the force start button for 3s to enable the relay for a minute since there’s no battery for it to detect. The manual actually doesn’t seem to mention the mode it was in where for a minute or so the relay clicks on and off, and it will start the engine until the relay module times out.
@@hlukeh I ended up buying the same jump starter as you did. Started my truck on a completely dead battery. Thanks for your video!
