Sticking throttle, 1300 HP, old fluid, riding the brakes until they boil. What could go wrong? [MEDIA]
If I remember correctly, there are solenoids at each cylinder and from the diagrams for the wiring, energizing the solenoid will drain the...
Yes on Henry Ford Museum. If you don't have time for that... Car related: https://backtothebricks.org/ Lunch related:...
86 and 87 will always be hot because they are connected to the fuse... 85 reads hot because it is not being grounded by the switch and you can...
That means something is wrong, but just what is wrong is still unknown. At least three people on here as well as the manufacturer agree that the...
Did you see where the OP didn't have 87a grounded when he took his readings? I'm guessing the OP likes his led switches.
I agree we don't have all the info. We have no drawing with the four switches and he only talks about one relay when he mentions using the meter?...
Around here, that method of wiring a light is called using "Chicago travelers". It's not legal anymore because you could turn the light off but...
Correct. When he pushes the left button, the left relay energizes and he can read 12 volts through the motor on the right relays 87a terminal. If...
I agree with Engine Man. It should work as drawn, but make sure the switches are wired as shown too. They actually provide the ground for the...
Yep...old news. Top: [IMG] Bottom: [IMG] From here: http://foxinjection.com/efi-conversions.html
Yep. Build thread:http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=465834
Steve's right. An undersized voltage converter could even catch on fire when it fails. Get a good temp gauge if you don't have one. If you...
I'm out too. You can be proud of that degree around here, Ebb.
Dude, I taught electrical theory for 30 years, not just a number of years. As for asking someone familiar with motor circuits and connecting...
I agree with you 100% (again). Motor theory and power formulas and Ohms law trip up a lot of people when you try to put them all together in the...
No. The first problem is with your belief in DC motors making a constant power. Lets say we have a 6vdc 1/10th HP blower motor that turns at 800...
Sending you a PM so you can correct your mistake before it's pointed out in public is the opposite calling you out. But whatever. Adding...
No. Putting two resistors in parallel will make his switch hotter not cooler (but not as hot as no resistor). However, if his resistors are...
Actually, with motor loads, there is no linear formula that works because the resistance is controlled by the counter-EMF of the motor and that...
Ooops! :eek: I was only thinking of the center connecting point for the tie rods there and didn't mean to imply they were interchangeable. Thanks...
Wow. That connecting bar thingie looks like it has some kind of guide bracket to keep it from rotating but it sure isn't an elegant solution to...
Couldn't agree more. I grabbed that pic from a Google image search because it looked a lot like the Hudson with the angled control arm pivots and...
I believe your Hudson originally steered from a central pivot where both tie rods joined a central sector type arrangement. One solution may look...
I'm pretty sure that's what he meant. It should line up so the tie rods are more straight across. However, even with the shortest tie rods that...
I sure would like to see the whole process of taking a mould and producing a body from that. Your level of detail should make it outstanding.
Ohms law states that an increase in resistance will cause a decrease in current. Unless this is a modern electronic flasher, high resistance will...
Pull all of the bulbs and use a multimeter to see if the flasher is still flashing. The multimeter should not draw enough to activate the flasher...
Perhaps the ultralight company was looking for someone who could do a better job than Bubba and you missed an opportunity to steal that work from...
Correct. And much of hot rod building, including split bones, are in the "structural steel world", wouldn't you agree? Shouldn't you use a...
