congratulations, somebody just saved you from a lot of troubles 🙂

Leuk dat je laat weten dat je er wat aan had, daar doe ik het voor!! 🙂misschien helpen m'n andere ford-videootjes je ook?! (above is in Dutch: nice to let me know, that's what I do it for, maybe my other ford-videos can help too?!)

Thanks for letting me know Enrique!! That's why it is fun to make these vids, when it helps I find that very rewarding. Cheers

Thank you so much for your very kind and helpfull input !!! As you might have noted, you're the first after ½ year since this video was made and I did my first scouting on this very old piano. Meanwhile it has held its tune very well, so I was hopefull to continue. With your very good advice not to rush from A4 @ 415Hz in one go to 440Hz, but via two extra steps in between I will surely give it a go!!! I had a look at your channel too and what beautifull music you make, for being self taught you're a pro in my eyes 🙂

No problem! And thank you for compliments! I saw your comment on Roberts Pianos' video, that's how I found your video.

@@Pianist203 oh that is even more wonderful, who would have guessed that? I'm using a laptop with "Dirks Piano Tuner" program on it and a proper microphone on a stand, to do my tuning. It is slow but really opens the possibility to tune your own piano as an amateur. Here at the French countryside (and I guess too in Finland?) it is very hard to find people that also have no problem with the distances and still be payeble. Now the winter has started, it is very cold in the unheated studio so I will wait untill spring to start tuning up!

You're quite handy to tune overdamper piano as an amateur. I also started tuning as an amateur and I remember that as complete novice it was quite a task, and results weren't that great either. Too bad that you don't have a piano tech in your area. Maybe if there were several pianos in your area, travel costs would be divided and more resonable. You're right that conditions are not ideal right now if temperature and humidity is on lower side. Of course such big pitch raises are not going to be that stable anyway, so you could technically do those before spring, and leave more accurate tuning to spring time.

@@Pianist203 Well because we're retired, we don't know many people in the neighbourhood that we just moved into 4 years ago, but that's okay. Nice and quiet. Apart from that I love a technical challenge. To do the tuning you on an overdamper it just takes patience and carefull handling. The trick with this KLEIN piano is that you need the push the string dampers during tuning in from a very weird angle going beyond the mechanism of the key right next to it. Once you've found this angle, works are not that difficult, only very slow compared to a modern piano. Meanwhile we're restoring our 200yo farm, and once my studio is insulated I can turn on the electric heater (carefully again!) to closely monitor temp/hum to rise to normal again. Thanks again for taking the effort to help, really really appreciated !! But weather in Finland must be far more extreem than southern France, how do you manage that with your pianos?

Yes he used to have a YT channel upto 2 years ago, but now it is no longer available 😞

@@Ernie-Tech oh I see! thank you for keeping this video.

thanks, allways fascinates to see how the rooms are cleaned by them

Hi Matt, I still have all the documentation in digital form so if you leave me an emailaddress I can forward that to you. I have seen your TX3 and your channel, great! I put my info online in a zip file, see next reaction!

Hi Ernie. Awesome set up! I recently purchased a similar ex-BT TS3. I am just about to refurbish it. Unfortunately it did not come with a control box, and finding information on it is proving difficult. I would really appreciate any information you have on the entire genset. Would be extremely helpful in bringing this Genny back to life. Thanks.

@@WesternWarriorEire I did get a proper diagram from the guys over on smoke stack forum. You can download the TS engine workshop manual for free just Google it

​@@WesternWarriorEire here is to the file you can download from my server. I will describe it to you: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on request available again) Simply a collection of circuit diagrams and texts, let me know if you manage to get it!!!

@Ernie-Tech I got it there. Looks like I have some light reading to do over the weekend 😂 thank you for that. Really appreciate the help. I will post a video when I have it up and running again.

This is so great to read your reaction Jose, thanks a lot! Is it indeed exactly the Sofim 8140.61 engine in your boat, cause I thought the turbo version was also a slightly heavier engine and so a different number?! Just being curious. My van is scapped cause shortly after my rebuild the gearbox fell apart, the carrosserie started rusting from within, tires were worn and we desperately needed a reliable long distance transport, so we bought another campervan. Too bad, but I learned from it 🙂 (never buy an Iveco again, cause spare parts are incredibly expensive). By the way; Game Of Thrones was a sensational television series, a bit like Lord Of The Rings style, I loved the music instantly, although the series became worse year after year. When are you gonna put a video of your boat on your channel? I'd be the first to watch, like, subscribe!!!

Hi, I know parts are more and more rare to find, certainly those that don't get used much. I bought my stuff at oscaro.com but I am in Europe, hope for you its within your reach? Otherwise try car dumps? Sometimes, if carbon levels are high enough in the cast iron, it is possible to weld on them. Good luck

@@Ernie-Tech thanks for the response, i'll have a look!

Thanks Peter, building something yourself too?

Hi there, the tires and inner tubes are commonly available searching for 5x12" tractor tires, but the rims I bought at www.microtracteurs-lebosse.com/produit?rech=jante Payed about 193€ for a set. Can advise to look closely to the exact extérieur sizes of the tires. More expensive ones can have far more rubber on them then the cheaper versions! I've been jamming into some tree trunks and other unforgiving objects while mowing rought terrain, and I'm surpised to see the new rimms really hold up very well! The whole tractor has become much more stable and, of course, less sensitive to steep pits and rocks. But keep your thumbs out of the inside of your steering, to avoid braking them! Must admit, I've given up on turning sharply with mower up, not in 4x4 drive but 2x4 drive, and then hitting the split brakes at one side. That puts a lot of stress on the rimms, and all for nothing in the end it seemed... Hope you're in Europe? US might be totally different story.

@@Ernie-Tech Merci bien.

@@spidifilerijder graag gedaan, ga je dit ook doen op je Iseki? Leuk dat je ook motorrijdt

Good question, it can't be too difficult. There must be simple way to either trick the door switch or by-pass it. Sorry I completely overlooked this issue when making the video. Therefor I conclude it can't be too difficult cause if it were, I would have noticed to add in the vid. I do not possess this dishwasher anymore, so can't look it up, but did find a REPAIR MANUAL, SEE NEW TEXT BELOW VID

Ever so strong after even more than 40 years of age, and so handy on mowing tracks, woods, forests, gardins, orchards, you name it!

Perkins was the one in this Fergy and it ran like a sunshine 🙂 Even after me foolishly overloading it pulling rocks and stones up against a long slope, I only needed a new cylindergasket and it ran ever since flawlessly. Absolutley the best. Had some experiences with Iveco (35-8) engines and apart from moderate power the spares were extremely expensive, so might be the same with NEF, don't know. What are you doing, rebuilding a Fergy?

You mean nowadays? I thought that New Holland tractors were cheaper but then again, the quality that comes with Massey-Ferguson is something you pay for. That's logic, but who am I to judge? I'm not even a pro.

because it was easily repairable and I hate throwing stuff away and waste money

dankjwel, maar dat iedereen zo valt over die scrollende tekst snap ik helemaal niet. Ik snap YT ook niet, dat ik niet een verbeterde versie video op dezelfde plek mag uploaden. Dan had ik die verbetering direct doorgevoerd, want ik wist niet dat iedereen daar zó over struikelt! Nee, ik heb t wel afgeleerd na dit videootje, maar zelf vond ik het reuze handig : ik kan een heel verhaal kwijt aan tekst terwijl je ook naar de video kunt kijken. Tja vanuit video-editing-standpunt gezien, bespaart dat veel tijd!

Thanks for sharing that! Exactly my experience too, hence the vid 🙂

Just an GoPro Hero at low res cause YT reduces it anyways, but the waterproof casing is super in this situation. Next step is smartphone with periscope to get them visible life on the LAN ;-)

Nice we'd like a more instructional vid about that!

Guten Tag, Sie können es unter dieser Adresse versuchen "[email protected]", aber es ist Jahre her, seit ich sie benutzt habe, also könnte sie nicht mehr funktionieren. Darüber hinaus habe ich keine Informationen.

Peak power at 44hp, have a look at the tractordata.com site where this same tractor is too. See : www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/009/5/1/9515-massey-ferguson-37.html

Glad you like it! Inspiration? Doing the same?

I do agree that an ecu made things more or less out of reach for repairs by hobbyists, which is one of the reasons to have a bike; the fun of doing maintenance and little repairs yourself. The carbs are indeed easily put back, but the ignition I'm not too sure of assuming you'd go back to mechanical ignition. Especially the governor for more or less pre-ignition needs the original cast and then you're more or less back easier buying a good old 850T3. I do have to admit that since I'm driving this ecu-tech Guzzi, it starts very easily and runs stationairy as steady as a swiss clock. Something I'd never seen before, which pleases me most. But nowadays you need a laptop, usb-ecu adapter, software and knowledge of it all, not so common as it was before indeed!

Yes, you're right about the mechanical ignition advance unit. A good electronic ignition with built in advance might be a halfway solution. Not completely free of electronic demon potential but better than a full-on ECU. Perhaps an older Cali 2 is in order. They looked great. I fixed one for a mate when one set of points had closed up. Took half an hour and then ran great. Nothing matter though so long as you are enjoying it.@@Ernie-Tech

dank! ts ook heeeel belangrijk deze video 🙂

You are referring to another video of the same genset : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWizdIFsm9uap68 The hour counter is at 01057H which is extremely low for such a genset of that age. At the time 2011 at least 30 years old. I sold this set in 2019 at 1147H, to a friend who installed it in a horsetrailer for "on the road services" !!! Still then, it looked marvellously good for its age. 🙂

Спасибо

Driving a lhd in uk? Or was that just a holiday I saw on your channel?

yes, might have to take along some extra tools this time!

I guess you mean with "04" the fourth version of California model, like mine is called "California EV-touring" ? You need to specify where you are located, cause prices between EU and US for example can't compare. For example; I paid 5500€ in France for my 2003 California at the time had run 38000km and that was in 2016 at a local Guzzi dealer who gave me 6 months warranty.

I just bought an '09 California Vintage with 6,000 miles on it for £5,000. Some cosmetic work to do (just bits of chrome really). Not sure how that compares to your part of the world.

@@bm7760 seems very very cheap to me with hardly any distance on the clock. Congratulations, I hope you'll have plenty of fun with her!

I bought a 03 california ev for 1500 with 37k in Utah. I was very lucky but about 2500 seems to be normal around me.

A recall by the manufacturer is usually very specific on a certain range of serial numbers build in a specific time frame. Do you have any more info on that?

Thanks for sharing that! It's good to know about this issue when dealing with this specific model.

Hopefully you've come to a good buy??? Or is this still in the future?

There is indeed a saying that "Guzzi makes perfect technicians of their customers" which says a lot!! I'm not a believer in any god, so can't relate to the second part of your reaction, allthough I did have a near-dead-experience and 'know' there's more to our lives, than what meets the eye....

Hi Wolfgang, thanks for letting me know what you think of the video. Always inspiring to make more videos if people react! Do you make a lot of km on your Guzzi?

@@Ernie-Tech hi ernie , the next weekend i will sold my CB1100EX and buy a 2008 M.G. California Vintage in Black, i,m very nervous about this Situation but also happy , so i hope the Guzzi will roll without problems, thank you very much for your kind words 🙂

@@wolfgangwind788 Good choice : you're switching your anonymous bike for a lady with character 🙂 I love the transparent windscreen on that model, even considered for a long time to change that on my bike! Also your Cal.Vintage has more of the original Cal.-look. I'm sure you're gonna be proud of your M.G. and hey, it's never too late to become a M.G.-technician, hahahahaha!

@@Ernie-Tech Hi Ernie sold my Breva 750 12mths ago that's ok but sort of realised after a period of time I actually liked being part of the MG family, about to jump back with a early 90s Cali and thinking I'm going to have do a bit more work myself being non mechanical but learning, anyway thank you

@@peterlaws1653 Nice planning, are you in EU or US or AU? Is there enough choise in your area? Here in EU the prices are not so bad and lots of choice. Never hesitate to ask, if you need info for repairs or whatever!

Of course, there is no other way. Have a look at details in my other video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXjKeGqpqNyDr6c

@@Ernie-Tech yes i saw that video today. i don't know if i can do it by myself . it looks complicated ) i think i have a same issue that you had

@@coyotemotorider It is not complicated, but experience and good tools help. First make sure you understand my videos and if you try, make sure you have a way to get your bike on a trailer to transport it to a dealer/garage or have somebody to help you, in case you get stuck totally. First above all, make sure your tank is as empty as possible. If you decide to put the filter outside the tank, you may as well cut the fuel hose and safe the trouble of detaching the -not-so-quick-fit-at-all joint underneath the tank! 🙂 Release the pressure by letting the engine run, is out of the question I guess. So big chance that joint will give you a problem. Do not underestimate the quality of tube necessairy in the tank and their special rings to lock them. Good luck!

@@Ernie-Tech thank you. Will see maybe it will be easier to send it to garage and pro mechanic will solve it. First i couldn'it understand why the bike was not turning on normally . But from what i checked i see that the isse can be fuel pipe or fuel filter and maybe the pump system itself (hope no) if you have any messanger i can send you videos and maybe you can have another point of view

@@coyotemotorider Hi, you can send a video to xxxxxx@yyyy/zzz but please let me know when you do, so I can remove this emailaddress from my YT channel (and not get spammed)

yes, been there, seen it, done it 🙂

and with already more than 40 years on the clock, not bad at all!

yep, it looks like the water inlet valve spring is broken or the valve leaking (latter is most likely) or stuck. Replacing it, in general is not complicated, but for this machine (which I no longer posess) I can't tell you if it is difficult or not. Knowing Bosch spares are easy to get and repairs like this, depending on your skill level and tools, not too complicated. Before ordering any parts, try to find the electro-magnetic valve, detache its wires (or just one), isolate the detached connectors and see what the machine does. If the same, it defenitely is the inlet valve. Good luck!

Sorry Abdo, I just realised the inletvalve is not in the machine but on the water tap connection itself. It sits in that block which forms one piece with the hose. I replaced the whole thing on another Bosch machine, not too complicated but expensive :-( So taking it apart, to do a test by interrupting the electricity to the electricmagnetic valve, is often not so easy. It means you'll have to find the right wires in the bundle comming from that waterinlet combination in the machine and disconnect them there. Then put the water pressure and electricity on again and listen/see what happens. If no water flows, the inletvalve is still okay and then it means it is opened when not yet needed. Could be the driving circuitry to the valve, could be other electronics. Can't tell from here.
