Typically the Buddy heater pilot jet will become plugged with oil from the propane. A tiny drop is all it takes. The pilot jet can be cleaned out but the heater must be largely disassembled to remove the jet. The orifice is so small that you'll never find a strand of wire small enough to fit...

Shouldn't be too hard to fix 2nd gear. I see there are some CT70 clones being imported from China with 125cc engines. 17/45 gearing at the moment.

The Honda Trail 90 is the ideal bumper bike for my use. I modified my 1968 model with a new 140cc engine, and lots of other parts to make it faster, lighter, and to require less maintenance. Weight is 170 lbs, speed 55 mph, 100+ mpg. I used to haul my old 500cc Honda around but it was just too...

Most of the Chinese heaters have a thermostat that works exactly like the expensive German units. The thermostat works by running the heater on a high setting until the set temperature is reached, then lowering the setting but never turning the heater all the way off. If the heater kept turning...

Even on the common black rectangular 5 button controller the timer has to be set every time. You can't set it to come on every day at a set time.

The blue colored controller with a remote like frodo2222 posted is the way to go. It will have a thermostat, a barometric altimeter, and two way communication with the remote. It also has a timer but the timer works by keying in how many hours from the current time to turn on or off rather than...

As long as you can push on the front of the arm rests they're very sturdy. Unlike most chairs of this type this one has tubes that go from the front feet to the arm rests so they don't flex. Also I find the angle of the backrest on these chairs is much better than most.

I'm on my 4th one of those. Eventually the small bolts break but can easily be replaced. Finally the fabric starts to rip and after a few repairs it falls apart. I wish replacement fabric was available since the frame is still in good shape. They usually last about 3 years with heavy use. The...

I own a house that has been paid off for many years but I've always spent much of my time traveling and camping. For about 8 months out of the year you'll find me living in my camper and exploring on my quad. Much easier to do nowadays with cell phone, internet, online banking, etc..

I avoid spending time in a grocery store by ordering online with the Walmart or Safeway app then picking up the order in the parking lot. The employee will load your order in your rig so you don't have to get out of your rig. There is no added fee for this service.

Most controllers have thermostats built in. Buying a second one with the controller you want isn't a bad idea. That'll give you spare parts.

BTW the common fuel pump is .022 ml per pulse. Nearly all pumps supplied with 5kw or 8kw heaters use .022 pumps. Should be etched into the pump if you look closely. No need to change the pump, just the Hz of the pump.

First thing you need in order to tune the air/fuel ratio is a controller that is capable of adjustment. David McLuckie isn't all that clear in his video but what you are adjusting is the maximum and minimum Hz in relation to the maximum and minimum fan RPM. Generally you leave the fan RPM alone...

Buy some wheat berries, rye, corn, any kind of grain. Get a hand grain grinder, or electric. Make flat bread in a pan on the stove. Healthy whole grain, high in fiber. Wheat and rye berries keep a long time and if you grind them just before use the germ doesn't have time to go rancid like it...

The expensive German units carbon up too, and for the same reasons. Mine runs on low sometimes for a week at a time 24 hrs per day. Still works fine. It is tuned to my 4000' altitude using a CO meter.

I suspect it is clogged with carbon due to an overly rich mixture. Cause could be high altitude, restricted intake or exhaust, sucking in dust, etc. The angle and number of bends in intake or exhaust tubes can cause carbon build up. There are numerous videos on YouTube showing how to decarb and...

What altitude are you at?

They will behave like that if they're carboned up. Do you see white smoke (diesel vapor) coming from the exhaust when it's starting up?

Many of these heaters come with the remote already paired but with no battery in the remote. The remote should have a little light that lights when a button is pushed. No light = no battery.

You can buy a matched set with motherboard, controller, and remote on eBay. Should work with any of the large size heaters sold as 5k or 8k. This is the most common type that has easy to use timer and admin settings for adjusting the mixture. This is the first one that came up. There are surely...
