Brown sees red, wind knocked out of Greens.
BigGQWesty replied to Ray!'s topic in General Discussion
I am a wind farm supporter, but I do think in some places have gone ever the top with the sheer number of units on one spot.. I believe wind is good as its cheap and easy to produce. Hydro needs a big hill, constant flow of water, coal is a dirty fuel, gas is a waste.. The only other supply I'd back is nuclear.. Scientist recon in 5-10 years they recon they'll find a way to use 80% if not all of the iron rod. So no more radiative waste.. -
What happened to all the other posts here?? My 'more clearance' comment has gone after your photo of your bent rod Admin. I've got a funny feeling I've picked this up on another thread.. Or is it just me?

Ok Glort.. I've hit a wall.. All I can score is lard based.. So to the link I put up. How accurate is his bio production? I'm struggling to find any procedures on your links -
Just asked my bro a no tweaking was done. But I have to ask? How do you adjust the pump? Are you taking about the timing?
-
To my knowledge it's stock as a rock with factory pump settings.. My bro is a mechanic though and had it for a while so he could have tweaked the pump.. I'll do a bit of fiddling, but no 4mm one way in the mount.. So eBay it is..
-
I'm usually upping gears around there... Lol Might try a 25%meth mix, if I understand it that'll give me more burn able oxygen in the cylinder??

What does your resume state? Are you focussing your application towards the specific job or just handing in a general one. I learnt that a resume has to take the readers eye within the first few seconds or it won't stick in there heads. So I make them appealing, short (no more than one page) and easy reading, mostly dot points with a short paragraph here and there. It's what I believe as I've applied for 10 jobs in my 9 yrs so far, got everyone of them. I've only taken 3 though.. Stick in there. It'll happen.

I can't say 100% were it kicks it, but I'm pretty sure it around the 1800 but I hope to grab a small led tonight to put in and tell me what's happening..
-
In the lower revs you can hear a slight knocking sound.. I've used black hose so I can't see what the water is doing while the lid is on, but I rechecked it all in place and I'm still at the 250m/min rate. I'll try find a 4mm one way valve, slip it in and recalibrate. I'll get back to you about it.
-
Well, I thought I had found an issue. I didn't drill the hole in the lid far enough over to clear the hold down bar in the air filter.. When tightened down it was crimping the hose.. So I've move the hose over a bit more. Bolted it all back together and off for a drive and again.. Nothing different.. No smoke, no tyre smoking in 1st, and if anything I recon I've lost a bit uptop.. Climbing hills at about 3G in 3rd it stops pulling..
-
Ok.. It wheel spins in first anyway. But I never use first.. Lol I'll check it tomorrow but it defiantly is working. It used probably 1ltr in 10 mins.. But in saying that i didn't put a hole in the lid so it was sucking in the bottle. May have been drawing it back once the pump stopped.. But as for the stutters at 3G rpm its a constant thing and it would climb above it.. I turned the unit off and after a couple of seconds it cleared and smoothed out.. So I've put a hole in the lid, but I'll still check for draw back.. I need a light to tell me when it on.. Might see if I can get an LED from somewhere tomorrow and wire it in.
-
Well that was a real HF.. Stupid little switch I bought with an led in it was a PITA.. Marked wrong, led wired wrong.. So after an hour of cutting and soldering it works but with no light... So filled it up with 50-50 blend, and 250mls/ min as before, and took off.. Well I'm a little disappointed.. Didn't notice any power increase, no wheel chirps in 2nd even turning at an intersection in the wet... About 5 mins of a small trail of smoke.. Nothing to get me smiling.. And she stutters around the 3g mark.. So am I missing something or is that it?
-
Funny thing is, it didn't quite reach 0.. Only 0.5.. But like I said it was clear and calm and chill factor of -0.3..

It's usually the same here, but it was the full moon and clear.. And today, 90% chance of rain and 30k winds.. Why didn't I buy the house with the BIG shed....
-
I remembered this photo I took last Saturday. After 3x9L buckets of water, and an ice chipping, this was my windscreen 15mins into my treck to work... (also the bonnet was still iced over after 30 mins of driving...) Let's see how cold it really is...
-
Gotta get it done first thing so I can go oil shopping..
-
Sorry Glort, the 4 AAA's are in series so you'll need a 6V battery..
-
Well I got a start.. Pump mounted to the tank, sprayer mounted in the air box, spring is mounted behind the peddle (not 100% happy with this, may go with the alum can switch) and flow rate sorted. Flat out is 500mls/ min. I've adjusted the tap for 250m/ min. Got a few minor leaks which will be an easy fix with a cable tie.. So tomorrow all I have to do us fit the tank. Plumb it, wire it in and off I go...

The RSL is a good point, I may do some driving tomorrow and hit up the pubs, restaurants and even KFC, maccas if needed. I know KFC use seed based oil (I think). How does this work? -

BigGQWesty replied to Glort's topic in General Patrol Discussion
I see why you say find the source first... Out of 7 phone calls only 2 are vege based and 1 is already counted for.. But the second one uses 20L every 2 days.. It's a bear minimum I think, I may have to do a letter drop as there are others around town which are not listed in the book. -

What a bummer.. Wasted 6 hrs reading last night, and during that time I thought 'I wonder if Glort has replied'... Coulda saved a few hours.. Lol Owell I'll get into your links tonight. source the oil. I think this will be relatively easy as we have 6 fish and chip shops, and multiple fast food outlets (fast food and servos). Ok, threw winter down here it does reach 0 occasional but sits around the 5 degree mark at night and not much more than 15 through the day.. What blend would you recommend for a stock 4.2 NA?
