Replacing broken Fishman Preamp on Ibanez Acoustic/Electric Guitar
Переглядів 4775 місяців тому
the faceplate on the stock Fishman SST preamp broke on my Ibanez AEL20E. I actually really like the guitar, so I chose to fit another Fishman preamp and also add a different preamp so I would have full functionality again.
Hung Start on the Turbojet Kart
Переглядів 4475 місяців тому
had a hung start possibly from not enough air pressure then I made a HUGE mistake of killing the power, which killed the oil pressure instead of cutting off the propane. Mistakes were made, lessons were learned. Hopefully didn't do any lasting damage. We'll get the tanks filled and try again next weekend.

Oil tank INSTALLED!!! Now something else is broken!!!!!
Переглядів 229Рік тому
after an adventurous last couple days, I finally got the new tank mounted. It sits a little higher than I'd like, but I can fix that later. Meanwhile, as I was installing the tank, I discovered a broken bracket that supports the weight of the combustion chamber. Must have just broke within the last day or so, as I was just messing with it three days ago. Anyway, it wasn't the greatest weld job ...

    I had the same issue with my SST face plate. The holes had worn through. I just found 4 small black washers and put 1 under each set screw on top of the plate and it seems to be working. It's a quick fix until a new cover plate comes available. There are web sites with 3 printed covers available also.

    Thanks, I have the same problem. A 12 string Ibanez I just bought. Basically the same problem. Apparently that SST system is the worst system ever in the world. The way they cut it like you mentioned. And as I can see. It’s hard to find replacement that would fit perfect. I don’t wanna do what you didn’t make another hole.especially for a cheap pick up. But if I do find a solution, I’m gonna let you know. Thanks for being the guinea pig.

After I replaced everything but the water pump, which seemed to be working, I pulled the heads because I had my suspicion the ports were blocked

    Passed by you on 95. Gave you my sub. Instead of getting ramps to unload it from the back of your truck probably should get one of those little harbor freight trailers. Will be way easier to load and unload from and all you have to do is disconnect the trailer from your truck to store it. Keep tinkering and be safe. If the engine is made out of steel, perform safety inspections before, and after test runs.

    • @rocketman_mike

      We found out that the electric leaf blower didn't quite have the power to spool it up enough, so I hooked up a compressed air tank to get us up to idle speeds. We started it with propane and tried transitioning to diesel, but I don't think I had enough fuel pressure set before I killed the propane and the whole engine shut off. Trial by fire.

    Very interesting. My name is Carl, I am from the UK. I found your posts on the Jet and Turbine Owners forum and made my way to your channel. I also have a you tube channel. My primary workshop project at the moment is my milling machine restoration. However, I also have a very long held interest in rocket engines and gas turbines. I have decided to go down the turbocharger to gas turbine conversion route as well. So far I have one introductory video posted. My first attempt will be a stationary engine to prove the concept, not a power plant for a go-cart like yours will be. In time though I'd like to refine things and move towards a liquid fuel system and possibly some sort of free turbine/turboshaft arrangement. I thought your film was excellent, a very good explanation of afterburners and particularly the flame holding needed to make them work correctly. I've subscribed to you and look forward to more posts in the future as your project progresses. Good luck, Carl.

    No B system pressure (the brakes are on B system). Only showing accumulator pre-charge pressure on the brake pressure gauge (meaning ZERO brake pressure). No pneumatic (emergency) brake system pressure. This was VERY dangerous, especially when you advanced the thrust levers. The only thing holding this airplane were the chocks. You have NO IDEA just how dangerous this was.

    • @rocketman_mike
      @rocketman_mike Рік тому

      not disagreeing with you at all. If I remember, we knew there were no brakes and it also had a mean hydraulic leak from a horizontal stab actuator that we didnt have the equipment to reach it for repair. The apu was also being problematic. But, we just use one of the engines to train students on proper turbine start up sequence and how to read the EGT gauges. That plane hasnt moved in a very long time and is one hot start away from a tax write off and the scrap yard.
