Fitting FuelX Lite to 2022 Himalayan - Where to Locate the Controller? Solved!!
After fitting a new exhaust system an update to the fuelling system seemed to be in order but this not just upjetting the carburettor. It's not complicated but finding a suitable home for the little black box proved a conundrum - for a while. Then came the inspiration - dead space no longer.

    The wings on the adapter are so the isobutane can sits in the correction position if its on its side. Those cans are deigned only to work in one orientation if on their side and are often marked with an orientation arrow. Its so they feed only gas not liquid or worse still a coughing mixture of the two. The wrong orientation with give stutters and flair-ups. Having a preheater tube, as your Trangia gas burner does, also helps if the isobutane can is putting out an incorrect mix. BTW I use a similar Trangia 25 set-up but with the Chinese clone burner and isobutane.

    @Ruger44Redhawk 2 місяці тому

    Love/hate with the BK9. I think it really was a stupid idea to skeletonize the handle stock. Makes zero sense to make a hard use tool weaker by removing structural material (even in the handle). I have seen the BK9 break at that weak point, that's why. I e-mailed Kabar to see if they would consider a non-skeletonized version. They said no plans. You would think that it would actually be cheaper to produce by skipping that step of removing metal. It's a good knife. Would I trust my life on it, no.

    • @fadingmargins
      @fadingmargins 2 місяці тому

      I have to be honest I cannot imagine what you would have to do to break a BK9. Do you think there was perhaps a fault in the particular knife?

    • @Ruger44Redhawk
      @Ruger44Redhawk 2 місяці тому

      @fadingmargins I think the guy was batoning it which, again, is abuse of a knife in my opinion. I never do that. Use an axe for that intended purpose. So I think he hit the handle and it broke. There is fire wood all over the forest floor to burn so batoning is absolutely pointless to me.

    • @fadingmargins
      @fadingmargins 2 місяці тому

      He must have really hit it, but even so it sounds like a warranty claim to me. I am 100% with you on batoning. Small kindling production aside
