Be careful with it on slopes, Narrow wheel base and top heavy when full can lead to interesting situation(rollover). Don't ask how I know Actually dripped fuel out vent hole of fuel cap, onto hot muffler, *poof* motor burning, run up to house for extinguisher, grab on of those little throw away's, puff, discharged. Run back up to house, get big co2 from garage, and finally put fire out. Had to rebuild motor, replace fuel tank, and repaint front wall of trailer well this pertained to an agrifab vac trailer, not a sweeper- you might be all right

Electronics charging question
bkuhr replied to Mad Dog's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
An unlikely culprit could be that there is too much AC voltage from the alternator not filtered out by the rectifiers still present in the bikes DC electrical system. I would be curious if you left the 'slightly' discharged phone hooked up to the acc outlet with the bike electric on but NOT running for an hour, using just the bike battery with no effect from that alternator. I would expect your phone to show some charge then. -
Wonder if anybody has recommendations of which Nissan forum to check out, or maybe can directly offer advice Daughters 2009 Nissan Rouge. Issue started that it died and would not restart. Replaced battery and started 1 time, then would not restart again. At local garage they stated "alarm system is preventing start and even preventing any code reader from working", Also Nissan refuses to provide non-dealer shop with codes to reset alarm system. Then we tow to Nissan dealer and now have $2000 estimate, "EMC, shift unit shorted out, new battery + labor and tax". Does this sound correct? What is EMC?, Why another new battery when just replaced? It there any kind of recall to cover this drastic failure? Asked if we could buy parts and install ourselves, but answer was "every thing needs to be programmed again" which can only be done at stealer shop..... Seems to me that this is POS, especially that MUST go to dealer to program anything, wondering if might be better to find what they would give for trade credit and get out of Nissan all together

Pull air cleaner and inspect butterfly completely closes, and opens about the same as the others -
might be a good time to load the program I referenced in post #16 , It will uninstall all the files that Microsoft already (secretly) installed on your PC for the win10 upgrade, and stop all attempts of them being reinstalled

I loaded this program http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/2015/08/using-gwx-stopper-to-permanently-remove.html and it prevents win 10 from even loading install files on my pc. Seems to be working good

I have found a Chariot DF650 4X4 UTV that can be purchased pretty cheap. The transmission is currently removed and is said to have a broken gear. I am wondering if anybody knows where to purchase parts for this machine, as I would like to price a replacement transmission, to see if it would be worth even getting involved with this project. The current trans is a manual shift, but wife would only accept if it had an automatic, so also wondering if this model had a automatic option. Best I can find is this appears to be a Chinese UTV, and I can't even find any dealers.

Thanks Great White. A suggestion I had not thought of. And I have some ferrite beads.....somewhere. Also of note, when I moved to the rear power outlet, I ended up using a long (15') USB cable, and the slack coiled up near the rear power outlet. The coil may be part of the reason it was better at the rear outlet
-
Just fine, auto tunes to lots of stations, even with cell present, just not charging. I did try a different brand power outlet usb charger with little change.
-
Thanks Video, I have already tried shielding. I wrapped foil around chassis and front end behind removable faceplate. When I completely wrapped the cell, (ungrounded) it made the problem 10x worse. So far the best solution has been using the rear power port, but looking for recommendation of a better radio. Looking at specs for the Kenwood, it has FM sensitivity of 8.2dbf. Unless this radio is defective it is low enough there should not be a issue. A preamp would probably overload the front end. Maybe an attenuator would make it less sensitive to the cell interference, but then likely not pick up FM. I'm stuck
-
Looking for suggestions to help eliminate FM tuner interference 2005 Dodge Dakota. Installed Kenwood KDC-BT365U. Also cell phone holder installed near radio head. I had very bad FM tuner interference after 1st install, to the point that auto tuning could not find any channels, and manual tuning to known good channels finds the stations but very broken and noisy. I opened the dash back up thinking I had damaged the antenna connector.( When I removed connector from the OE radio, I had to pry it out). I did not see any damage to the antenna connector or the dodge to Motorola antenna adapter. Even so, I cut off the dodge connector from the coax, and directly installed a replacement Motorola connector on the coax for a direct fit without adapter to the new Kenwood. Putting dash back together and had the same issue. Taking it back apart again while the radio was playing, I found the issue. The cell phone, when plugged up to the charger, is causing the problem. This problem did not exist with the OE radio/cell in the same configuration. I found I still have the interference even with the cell in the lap, so relocation is not a practical option. I also tried 2 different cells, HTC and Note5, and same issue. After much experimentation, I have reduce to problem by moving the phone charger from the dash power receptacle to the rear of center counsel power receptacle, leaving the phone at the original mount location near the radio head. Still some interference. I even wrapped aluminum foil under the removable face plate to the radio chassis attempting to provide front shielding. Call to BestBuy and tech stated that all after market radios have less shielding than OE radios. No sure that I believe this statement. Call to Crutchfield did not offer any suggestions. I am not sure what else I can try. I am very suspicious that the problem is primarily due to this specific model, or maybe just this specific serial number of the Kenwood radio, but I am leery to return it to the store, purchase another radio of same or different type/brand and have the same issue. I am also considering getting on of those cheap antenna "pre-amp's" with the thought that the higher power antenna signal into the radio will overpower the interference it is experiencing, but everyone I speak with says these things are just junk, and don't really do anything. Any ideas or suggestions of a different radio to try. The Dakota OE is 1-1/2 DIN, although I have read that some have fitted a 2 DIN with custom cutting, I am not sure I want to cut the dash up, but may consider it. I currently have a 1 DIN dash adapter that fits good. Feature Requirement is FM, CD, USB/AUX, Bluetooth Hands-free for at least 1 phone. Additional would like would be BT for 2 phones, GPS NAV, backup camera..

Clive, Did you see the relay suggestion in post #5?
-
to answer your question here is a circuit with just 1 relay. As water fills past the lower float, the lower float switch closes, and remains closed the entire time that water raises to the upper float. As the water level raises to the level that the upper float switch closes, the power is applied thru the currently closed lower float switch, and energizes both the upper float relay ad the water pump Also when the upper float relay is energized, the upper relay contact closes, and will keep this circuit energized even after the water level falls below a level that the upper float switch opens. After the water lowers to a level the lower float switch opens, then the upper relay circuit will be intrupted, turning off the upper relay, and its currently closed contact, and the water pump. All is reset to restart the sequence.

ignitech pick up coil question
bkuhr replied to jdog910's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
There are interlock options in the ingitek software, that if turned on, could result in non-fire. I would first look to make sure you have not accidently turned off the e-stop switch on the right handle bar. Also interlock circuit on the bike that could cause issues, such as side stand down while in gear. Try to start with side stand up, and clutch lever pulled. -
Interesting hearing how other states work. Here is Kentucky. I have the duty for the entire month, Circuit court, It is a pool of 110. Grand jury 12 selected from pool and only meet 1 day/week. After the first day orientation it is just call in to see if needed the next day.Currently off duty for entire week. Per the juror handbook, in Kentucky it Is the law that an employer must give you time off and can not compel you to "get excused", but does NOT have to pay lost wages. My employer DOES pay wages, and does not even withhold jury pay of $5 pay + $7.50 reimbursement=$12.50/day. Also juror roles come from Voter reg, Operator Lisc, State tax returns. They actually gave us the court schedule for the month, reflecting cases every Tuesday and Thursday, but said that most cases would be canceled, settled or deferred. If called the entire remaining pool is called, and jurors chosen at that time. Excused from duty if been a juror in any court in last 2 years.

Sounds to me like your snyc may be a little off. Pull the air filter and look closely at the butterflies. Push the diaphragm slides with finger to see the butterflies. Are they equally and almost completely closed, and open equally together. If not you may need sync adjustments, and a lagging carb could be the cause for hung rpm.

I am so dumb,have a title problem
bkuhr replied to cruiserlover's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Since owner 2 never registered. It is still owned and taxed to owner 1. If you can get owner 1 to get duplicate title it then can be signed to you. -
