Locate and Repair an Irrigation Sprinkler Leak.
I discovered a wet and mushy area while mowing and figured I had a water leak. I first I thought it was the main water line to my house but realized the main water line enters the house in a different location. The only other thing it could be is my sprinkler irrigation system. I proceed to dig up the area and found a water line that had separated. After a lot more digging, I was able to remove the bad connection and replace it with another piece of irrigation pvc and a couple of couplers. My way is just one of many ways to repair a leak like this and I hope it gives someone the confidence to tackle this kind of job themselves. Good luck!

    Did you have to cut the back of the amp bracket for the radio to fit back in place? I have the same bracket and installed it with the screws, my radio hits the bracket.

    • @BrokenBroomWorkshop
      @BrokenBroomWorkshop 26 днів тому

      Thank you for your question. Yes, I did have to cut about 1/4" off the back of the bracket. I show that in Part 7, the last video in this series, starting about the 2:48 minute mark. I hope this helps with your install.

    How long are you waiting between layers?

    • @BrokenBroomWorkshop
      @BrokenBroomWorkshop 27 днів тому

      Good question. My answer is, It varies. The first layer I let the resin completely dry then I scuff it with some 80 grit sandpaper to remove any strands that didn't lay down. This also removes the shiny surface which promotes good adhesion for the next layer. Allowing the first layer to dry also gives me a rigid surface to apply the subsequent layers on. Usually the remaining layers I do one right after the other while the resin is still wet until I get the desired thickness (usually a 1/4 inch or so). If I do have to wait between layers, I let it dry completely, usually an hour or so depending on how "hot" the resin is mixed, then I scuff it and continue adding layers. Also, Its ok to let it sit over night if needed, just scuff it and continue. I hope this answers your question but, if not, please let me know.

      I'm sorry bud, I gotta be honest. This is, one of the least informative "How to" videos on this subject. Not to mention the way you handled the tools and the disassembly of the front fairing. I'd suggest you get a better handle on working on this type of bike.

    The wiring harness has rca. So why the line in converter

    • @BrokenBroomWorkshop
      @BrokenBroomWorkshop 6 місяців тому

      The factory Harley radio does not provide RCA (low level) outputs and only provides speaker (high level) outputs. The harness has the RCA's to connect to an amplifier once the LOC (Line Output Converter) is connected. Without the LOC connected, there would not be any signal between the radio and the RCA's. Hopefully this answers your question.
