How to fix a leaking hose bib (aka wall hydrant, spigot or outdoor faucet).
In this video I repair a leaking Woodford model 17 faucet by rebuilding the valve stem.
In the video, I used the Woodford RK-17MH Wall Hydrant Repair Kit. While I found the kit on a shelf at at Lowe’s, you’ll also find it on Amazon here:

There ARE less expensive knock-off kits, for less money, but I chose to use the original manufactures kit.

Переглядів 1784 місяці тому
In this video, I’ll show how I repaired my wife’s 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid’s door interior so that the window will roll all the way down. Basically, there is a foam block inside the door that is in the wrong position. The foam block’s adhesive gets hot and fails, allowing the foam block to fall forward. When the foam block falls forward, it begins to block the path that the window takes when it ...

    Great video. Had the same heat only on drivers side problem. Followed your instructions and SUCCESS! Only deviation was that I hooked the sprayer nozzle to air to empty coolant in heater core . Ran the coolant through a paint filter and found a lot of what looked like fine ground cinnamon. I reused the captured coolant and my flushes were less polluted with coolant. I purged about five 5 gallon buckets of water which produced old gasket material that looked like oatmeal. I purged the heater core with air again and topped off the top heater core with coolant using the 5/8 purged hose thinking I might avoid air lock. Reassembled hoses and started car. Warmed up car and had instant heat on both driver and passenger vents and defroster. Took a test drive and had normal operating temperature! And I haven't experienced good hot air like that for years! Thank you so much for your efforts and video! 2005 Outback Sport 2.51i in Montana, and yes I had the head gaskets replaced about a year ago. 161,000 miles.

Motorcycle makers figured out soon enough, that they could make their own fairings, and sell them cheaper. Our last day of operation, the whole plant took a group photo outside in the garden...then shut off the lights and locked the doors. Rifle carried on for almost 30 years, albeit MUCH smaller, making race and custom fairings. Unfortunately, they became a victim of the Covid shut down in mid 2023.

      When you take off the motor, it will have a little data plate that tells you the specifications. In most cases, you can just use that information to find one online that matches. Or, if you have a place that sells motors in your town, you can take the whole electric motor to them and they can, use it as an example and find you a replacement. As a final way to do it, you can use the make and model and serial number of your furnace (or whatever the motor goes to) and contact the manufacturer and ask for a replacement motor for that model.

Question for you: we have a boiler for heating our house and what appears to be the old furnace and ducts- we have a fan that runs with an air filter as part of the old furnace system and the last several months it’s been kicking on and off at odd intervals and not running the correct amount of time. Any idea what might need to be fixed?

    • @maintenanceman1503
      @maintenanceman1503 6 місяців тому

      @swey289 sounds like it’s short cycling (when a furnace fan turns off and on frequently). You might be able to fix some of these, but a professional might need to be called for others. it’s going to be one of a few different problems. It could be a faulty fan limit switch. That switch turns the blower on and off based on the information it gets from a temperature probe. A bad switch can keep the blower from turning off after the burners has stopped and the air exchanger is cool enough you could test the limit switch with a multimeter. It could be a dirty air filter. Air filter that’s very dirty can cause the furnace to turn on and off more often. You could have leaky or poorly designed ductwork, a furnace that’s too big, abnormally, high or low heat exchange temperatures, corroded, or dirty flame sensor, obstructed airflow from closed, vents or returned, ducks, or the blower motor could be malfunctioning The furnace should only be going through about 2 to 4 heat cycles each hour. And each cycle should last 5 to 15 minutes depending on your thermostat setting and how cold it is outside.

    I've done that to auto interiors to remove light scratches from the plastic. Do you have any idea how long that sheen will last on the exterior?

      It’s been about a year and her CR-V’s trim still looks great. I think it’ll last several years.
