I enjoy DIY projects - anything from automotive, small engine repair, wood working, home projects, electronics, you name it.
This channel started with a series of videos i made to document a major engine repair on a motorcycle i bought, and has since expanded a bit to be a home for any of the projects i feel like doing videos of. I'm a one-man-operation (who also has a day job and 4 kids), and I'm also a big believer in "quality over quantity"...so video uploads can be infrequent.
Anyhow, thanks for visiting - if you like this type of content, the best way to support for free is to simply like/comment/share my videos and subscribe to the channel. If you also want to chip in a buck or two, I would love you for it, and it would definitely help fund more projects 😁. www.buymeacoffee.com/lightningfrog27

HarvestRight Freeze Dryer: stuck on "Starting up..." SOLVED
HarvestRight freeze dryers work great until they dont. I've seen a lot of people with this problem, but no consistent solutions. I discovered something that fixed the problem for me and several others. Sharing with the internet to hopefully help someone out somewhere someday.

How to replace a Viewsonic projector bulb
มุมมอง 33K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This shows how to replace a bulb in a Viewsonic PA503S projector, though the procedure is likely very similar to many other "in family" viewsonic projectors. The bulb cost $35 on amazon, just over 10% of the cost of replacing the whole thing, and it's super easy to do - all you need is a philips screwdriver, and the replacement bulb: style RLC-108: www.amazon.com/Platinum-Viewsonic-RLC-108-Proj...

CBR300R - How to replace the chain and sprockets
Thank you! This seems to have worked for me. So glad it was such an easy fix.
Can I put a H9 for long beam and H7 for short beam? I have a CBR300rr 2015
Not sure 🤷♂️. If the H9 bulb has the same size/shape socket, it might work? If you end up trying it out, be sure to report back so other folks can know the answer!
i tried your fix and my clock was correct. so it did not work. i contacted harvest right tech support. they sent my a software fix. so far it seems to be working. they call it a loop fix. which seems to be what it was doing. stuck in a loop. they should put that on the software update they have on their website.
Thank you, worked great for a PG706HD. In this case there are two screws, one either side which you loosen. All the rest the same as your video. Very helpful.
hi, will the same steps apply to model PX704HD? Thanks
Maybe? I'm not sure though....I've never opened up that model number. If it does work, please report back so future viewers can find your answer!
everything on my dash works and lights up, however my highbems blue light don’t show up and my headlights aren’t working are i just replaced them what to do?
Id start by checking everything on the 12 v side. Are you getting 12 from the DC DC converter? Is there 12 v at the fuse box? Basically just need to trace out where the signal falls off, and that should point to the problem
The clown team at Harvest Right would have never figured this out. I just paid 500 dollars to have them fix my crappy unit, under warranty, and they sent it back with a dead clock battery. Harvest Right is the worst scammer company in the U.S.
What screw diameter did you use?
6 inch 😎
@@lightningfrog27 The 6" diameter on mcmaster only has a 1/16" edge thickness. Is that what you had? It seems paper thin. I will also be excavating dirt out of an egress window cut. Our crawlspace excavation will be 27 yards. I just want to make sure I'm getting something that suits my project demands. I see you also didn't have a very steep angle. My trough would be at about a 35-40 degree angle. Do you think that would be an issue? Thanks!
I got mine from McMaster too! It does seem thin, but remember that the trough itself doesn't actually have a lot of load on it... really just the weight of the dirt and also the auger. I was driving the 10 foot auger with a small electric post hole digger from Amazon....just had to get an adapter made to connect the much larger screw to the 3/4 receiver on the post-hole digger. Also, I wouldnt be too worried about any angle below about 45 degrees. I had my brother inside the basement with a shovel scooping into the trough while I was running the auger...and whenever I let go he knew he could take a break while I dumped the dirt. One other tip...I used a bearing at the bottom, and initially hard-mounted the auger end to the trough. That ended up binding whenever a rock came through. Worked out better to just let gravity hold the auger into the trough at the drive end. Happy to give more details on the project if you like. Maybe easier through email or something?
can you remove the cylinder without pulling the engine?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ No idea, but I'd guess probably not. Even if you could, I don't think you'd want to just due to wrench access, ergonomics, and the possibility of stuff falling down into the crank case. If you try it and figure it out, please report back and/or make a video!
@@lightningfrog27 Thanks 👍
Does anyone know if you can remove the cylinder without pulling the engine
Super bro
Greatly appreciated brother!!
Glad my video could help!
This guy is such a god man... I wish mc manf would make video series like this... like why does not Honda pay this guys like this 10k and a free bike to make a series like this?
Thanks so much for the kind words man. I do kinda wish i could quit my job and just do youtube videos about motorcycles and other stuff i enjoy.....but it's a long hard road to get enough subscribers and watch hours to get the big OEMs to even notice, let alone sponsor me.....and honestly, the youtube algorithm doesnt really reward the concise informational content that i make. That said, i really do feel good knowing that my videos are helpful to folks like you 😎
How many hours did it take from start to finish to remove the engine?
Dropping the engine out is pretty quick if you know all the steps and you have the right tools handy. Id guess less than 2 hrs.
What was the total cost and time involved for this?
Time is hard to gage because I spent so much time setting up the video camera and long delays between work days due to editing, plus digging through the service manual and Internet forums...but with that as a caveat, id guess the total wrench turning time for the whole project start to finish was less than 20 hrs, and total $$ spent was less than $300
Quick tips on the REAR sprocket: use the axle to keep the sprocket/Housing assembly on the rear wheel. LOOSEN THE BOLTS FROM THE NUTS, NOT THE HEX. Use your allen key to holt the bolt head while applying all the torque to the nut to avoid stripping. Little trick I learned on dirtbikes. Cheers.
When you start the bike “Pray” 😅
Haha...yeah, I was really nervous - if something was not assembled correctly I could have caused more damage to the engine. Really glad it worked out 😁
This didn’t solve it for me but I DID notice the last batch that ran never advanced the “batch clock” it said it completed in 1:17 hours. I think you’re on to something with this and my time clock WAS wrong so I fixed it and it’s not working still. Erg!
Holding a tiny 300cc up by hand easy,but try that with a 1000cc lol plus a lot of bikes don't have a sight glass
Then you use a special stick integrated with the oil filler cap 👍
6:40 jesus christ don't film directly into the bulb lens like that. Are you trying to blind people?
You rock man great info!
So for some reason my acid for my new battery all isn’t taking , only one tank is dry, the others are varying levels, they only take if I tap the bottles and that isn’t a defined thing either
I just had that issue after and outpower, i downloaded the files from the troubleshooting harvestright, didn't work, then i call costumer service and contact technician he sent me other files and work perfect
It worked for me. Thank you!!!
Motocycle battery ?
Yeah, the battery in the video is for a 2015 CBR300R motorcycle.
I tried this! The clock was indeed not correct so I changed it to the right time and still nothing. Thank you anyway..
I am stuck on start up just like you described!!! I am about to go down and try this solution!! Pray for me!! This machine is too expensive to fail and it’s almost brand new!!!!
Please report back if it works. Good luck!!
Get your money back if you still can. It will be one cost after another.
I ordered the exact bulb for my 2015 cbr300. The installation was like on a car (simple). They looked just like yours, however, when using turn signals it would flash turnsignal then headlight with no stop. Also, the bike wouldnt start with the led headlights in. Everything is stock. I took them out ans put in the original bulbs. It started up fine and turn signals worked as expected. Any advice???
How did the lights look after you installed the leds? Did it light up the road pretty good?
They looked great! Similar position and throw on the road, just white instead of orange, and a decent bit brighter 😎
Does it matter which direction the acid is put in ?
Do you mean which order? No, I think it doesn't matter either you do any individual cell before the others as long as you fill all of them within a few minutes of each other.
I'm so happy I know I have access to this tutorial in case of engine troubles !
Thank you so much for sharing this ! I just bought a 2019 Cb300r with 45000km !
any update? im thinking about going electric, and wondering how your results were?
I haven't made much progress.... partially because I've been pretty busy, but also I've been pretty worried that I'll screw up the next part. One of the things I did recently that I haven't made a video about - I built an electric go kart. Was super helpful for understanding the electrical layout and drive train. Hopefully I'll have more time to work on it this summer!

Wondering ifmyoumever finished this?
😅 not yet. I've still got about 2 $2k worth of new parts in boxes waiting for me to find the time and motivation to figure it out. I did build an electric gokart last year as a sort of skill building project....so I feel like I understand it a little better. Hopefully I can make time for it this summer!
Thanks, my bike would tell me it’s 5 am at 9 pm 😂
trying this on cb500x which is pretty similar to yours, except the clutch stake is a beefy beefy piece of steel. I ended up pushing a part of it into the gap and now is proper stuck. FML
Thanks , I'll check mine as well . Done many updates to my large , filters , rewired the relay heater system , added a vent system instead of the drain (goofy) .Not as good as the SF but way better . VT
To anyone that wants to avoid putting a towel in your engine, just buy a MotionPro brand gear jammer. Costs a few bucks and is able to take the load of torquing the bolts just fine.
Nice, I will share this out and see if it actually works
Hi may i ask if its a problem if i use the same sealant? Thanks
Hi bro I have some qurry about Cbr300r fairing headlight and tank can fit with cbr250r chassis?
I wish I knew...I only ever owned and worked on the 300....not sure how much part commonality there is with the 250
Very helpful thanks
You could tell us exactly which led you got in the description. I have a 2019 cbr300r and i thought with your video id be done looking for ones
This is the link from my Amazon history: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08TQKBKLN Unfortunately....it looks like that particular LED bulb isn't for sale anymore Good news is that any H7 bulb SHOULD work: www.amazon.com/s?k=H7+led+bulb&af=%7B%22vehicle%22%3A%222015-59-24717-20-----13968-------1%22%2C%22vehicleName%22%3A%222015+Honda+CBR300R%22%7D

Great job bro thanks for the video
so i need a trickle charger to charge the brand new battery? i dont get it. but solid video so thanks
Yep! a little counterintuitive...but the charger basically pushes ions off of the anode and onto the cathode. the ion imbalance is what gives us the voltage :)

What is the length of the original screws?
