    Even though I am 58 year old guy watching you figure out, patch up, work out the problem so much reminds me I'm watching my father getting us by. We were a big family and never had much money and nothing was new. My dad could fix anything and I would watch him and at his creativity and skill. Mustie, you are ALMOST as good as my dad!

      David Pianosi I grew in a very very mechanical DIY family too... My mom was little interested in anything but herself, so I spent most of my growing up with Dad, building and repairing... He has been gone for decades, but watching Mustie is like hanging out with Dad and his car guy friends almost 70 years ago..

    THANKS MUSTIE, for adjusting the camera, setting everything up, moving the camera, getting in close, thinking of us all thetime...can we see at this angle, explaining how this works and what needs to happen to make it work right. Do asthetics here and a little paint there...go adjust the camera again, show and tell, drive around like a kid on a go-cart, having fun and giving us a real-fast tour of your enormous shop, and all of it that you do! then all the editing and uploading that it takes to get it where WE can watch a genius at work...WOW...KEWL !!! Thank you!
    Then the paint shaker doo-lolly the mating frogs and the big lake! all of that is gravy!!! Your witt is like non other and your knowledge is out of this world! Thanks again!

Started with a few dirt cheap outboards and built up to having enough money to build a small workshop. Safe to say I'm already working my dream job, by turning my hobby into a job!!!

    bearings... Can't tell you how many times I've resurrected them.. Skated a 62 mile race in Central park,(inline skating) start to finish in the rain with oiled bearings one side open on each bearing. Basically water lubricated the bearings after a few miles. Race over, skates dried off and put in a bag. 4 days later, back home in california, every wheel (10) frozen solid. Soaked them in W-D 40, then after a day, used my lathe, and spun them in a wheel one by one till they broke free. Then I soaked them again after cleaning them till no more orange came out. Used those bearings for up to 100 miles a week for a year to train in and they actually worked ok. You could hear me coming from a mile away though. :). BAck in the day "fafnirs" were the best bearings..... Like pre 1980.

  • @w2dmw
    @w2dmw 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Mustie, on the 318, the altenator puts out 28 - 30 volts AC. It goes into the rectifier/regulator, and comes out as around 13.8 volts DC. The yellow charge light measures voltage, not amps. It comes on whrn battety voltage is less than 12.7 vdc
    Note: Mine had a worn wire, behind the front pulley, where it leads to the starter. This bled voltage off, which caused constant charging, and boiling the battery. The cost of reg/rectifier is $90 from deere, but can be bought, new for around $20, aftermarket. Mine was the exact same Mallory, as the deere was. An oversize snow blower sprocket is available, to make auger turn faster........

    On the 318, test the two wires going to the voltage regulator with an AC meter. Should be 20 to 30 volts AC If it does the regulator may be bad.

    • @notajp
      @notajp 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      kevin faulkner Actually, at full throttle you should see about 28 -30 VAC. The regulator rectifier will cut that by half to about 14-15 VDC. Charging voltage should always be higher than resting battery voltage. Resting voltage on a fully charged battery in good condition should be about 13.8 V.
