Yes, 10w40 synthetic blend Honda high performance 4 cycle motorcycle oil Type MB. I would hope that Honda has a reputable company providing their motor oil. Obviously the main point of the video is about the difference between wet and dry clutch oil applications and that the manufacturers of these two scooters specify Type MB

@@jatoav8or Thanks!

Absolutely, it should just be the hot/load wires that go thru motion sensor that get cut , stripped & connected together. I did exactly that on the exterior of my new shop and ran the entire circuit of 5 lights thru one light sensor.

Thank you for your time. Much appreciated

You’re welcome, obviously I’m not a professional but at least we can help each other

The latest version is 2.86 released November 4th 2021 If you connect your receiver via ethernet and run the update process it will install all the firmware leading up. It’s not going to jump from v1.27 to v2.86 and skip everything in between. I wouldn’t know how to find a 6 year old version of the firmware. Let me know if I’m misunderstanding something. Good luck, my 2060 is still going strong.

Wow, yearly testing of scooters is pretty hard core. It varies from state to state here. I think California is the most stringent. Fortunately where I’m at there’s no vehicle testing whatsoever. I actually ride 100% without the db suppressor, it has a nice thump even when it’s idling.

Good information, thank you. I wasn’t sure if any of these were still in service. I switched to an Ambient Weather WS2000 last year.

@@jatoav8or Are you happy with the Ambient Weather WS2000? Seems like all weather stations, no matter what the price, have some sort of drawback. The LaCrosse station is probably on its last leg and plan to upgrade in the near future. With all units, knowing how the software is written would make a big difference when it comes to setting up a unit and any subsequent re-establishment for a reboot. Thank you for taking the time to make your video. It was very helpful in knowing what to look for when troubleshooting the anemometer. Wish LaCrosse had chosen a different battery for the unit. Regards, Ralph

@@Ralph-j1m​​⁠ I can’t believe it’s been nearly 4 years but I’ve had my WS2000 since December of 2020. It’s honestly been trouble free. I have additional sensors in my pump house & storage shed & greenhouse. It’s never lost connection with the main array or sensors. I replace the AA cells annually (energizer lithium) the color display is really laid out well. It also keeps its connection with the internet 100% You can check it out on Weather Underground and ambientweather.net KWAOCEAN141 Dingus Beach Wx. Ocean Park, Wa.

I’m sorry to hear about your issue. Like I mentioned a few years ago in the video the seemed like a decent quality product but the lack of a parts list & drawings was concerning not to mention the lack of assistance from customer support.

I can’t dispute your point and if the new wider belt version II was available back then I might have opted for it. This was done mostly for a fun project. I was intrigued with the concept Cliff Curry had built for his mobile sharp shop. I do have the 3/4” KO Work Sharp and use it as a To-Go sharpener but it’s not made for regular extended use.

For volume work this 1x30 would be better than worksharp.

⁠@@brakeme1 The worksharp has its place, I’ve had good success using it. I was intrigued when I saw Cliff Curry using the modified Harbor Freight 1x30 in his Maui shop.

I’m glad it helped.

Glad you enjoyed it!

As a fellow layman I had the exact question.

Thanks for your kind remarks. The “Drainzit” product I installed comes with a brass cap with an O’ring. That cap fits snug and secure. I also make sure the hose is oriented with the end up to ensure no oil leaking occurs. I hope I understood your question correctly?

@@jatoav8or thanks you for the response. I bought a couple last night and realized I missed the cap in your video.

I did pass it on to my brother and it’s served him well. Also, Champion includes a parts list and has some legitimate service centers unlike DuroMax who refuses to provide a parts inventory or wiring diagram for any of their products! I settled on a Westinghouse dual fuel. It had the features I wanted at a budget price.

Thank you, it’s been very useful.

Thank you. The whole thing really is compact, the base after all is a small cutting board. Cliff Curry is stocking several additional custom parts and a full range of belts.

I’ve never modified the antenna but the array was two stories up on the peak of my roof & the display in the basement. I never had any signal issues. This ambient station has been the most trouble free setup I’ve owned.

I couldn’t agree more. For example the consumer grade lawn equipment selling at the big box stores is designed to be used until it breaks & then discarded. Not to mention the toy plastic electric mowers their selling for premium prices.

Glad to know it was helpful for you.

Thanks, I primarily installed the muffler to improve the sound and give more options. I feel like it helped the top end response. Eliminating the catalytic converter would lower the back pressure. Bottom line it looks much better without the bulky stock unit and it sounds better. The phone microphone doesn’t do it justice, it’s really nice.

I did use a gas approved sealant on the threaded connections. I’ve had the Westinghouse about 3 years. I have no complaints. I’ve used propane exclusively, the generator has never had gasoline in it.

I am talking about the drainzit

@@MRPEVELER12 no, if I remember correctly there’s a O-ring or copper crush washer so no thread tape or compound was used but I do recall people warning not to over tighten the threaded connection.

She’s able to touch both feet but It’s been an uphill struggle teaching her to ride safely. She has no prior experience.

@@jatoav8or Lots of parking lot time.

22r carbureted, it’s still our take trash to the transfer station & get landscaping material truck. I have a 3/4 ton silverado but it sits so high it’s not practical for picking up bark and dump runs.

I was a few weeks past the end of the warranty period and they still agreed to replace the outdoor array for me. I do recall the sensors were in a little pouch hidden in the louvers & plugged into the main board. Other than that I got nothing. It is curious that both sensors went off at the same time.

I’m having some RPM surging issues during exercise perhaps it’s fuel related?

@@jatoav8or do you have a gauge on that tank? How much is in it? If it is less than half full, that probably is the issue.

⁠@@thastinger345 The gas company keeps the tank topped off. I need to check the pressure delivery.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I updated the description and added a link to an associated seller and a link to the Hello Custom website. Hopefully that gets you moving in the right direction to find a decent size screen. The outfit I purchased from had a huge variety tint colors to choose from. I haven’t found anyone else with that kind of selection.

That’s a good question but the volume is so minimal that the required amount of oil still brings the level up to the full mark. Just for the record, I’ve used this wesinghouse gen for about three seasons now and it’s performed perfectly. Really pleased for a budget generator.

Fortunately neither the state inspector nor the PUD lineman took issue with the physical layout. Half way through the second winter season the system has accumulated over 60 hours runtime and continues to perform well. Outages occur Frequently on this stretch of the coast, thankfully our public utility district is staffed by talented and motivated professionals who keep those frequent outages relatively short lived. Cheers!

Excellent! I put many miles on my bike last summer after doing the silencer and it’s been outstanding. I wish I’d done a better job on the video though. Cheers

I hope some of the information was helpful. I should also mention that I passed the generator on to my brother who has used it extensively the past couple years without issue. They also apparently have decent customer support from what I’ve heard. I just didn’t care for the way the controls were configured.

Thanks for the information.

I’m not aware of a fuel drain valve on the westinghouse. Installation of a drain petcock would be a good option. I have yet to run my Westinghouse generator using gasoline, only propane. I have a 10 yr old Yamaha ef2400i that’s gasoline only. Periodically I transfer the fuel to a container using a battery powered stick pump, then use that fuel in my lawn tractor. A few minutes run time burns the small amount of fuel that remains. I have gone as long as 3 years without refreshing the fuel in the Yamaha and it still ran fine. Of course it’s real ethanol free high octane. I don’t use ethanol spiked fuel in anything that not frequently used.

@@jatoav8or thanks for the helpful info!

Hopefully you have the time and a place to sort it out. I imagine there’s a reason it’s wired the way it is but it seemed overly complicated. The car I had suffered from bad rust corrosion. Nearly every connector and ground point needed attention.

That’s good to know, The Rogue is extremely popular!

When I installed the gen-set we were using the house as a vacation home and I only had a day or two per week to work at it. We’ve been living here full time for a year and the unit has been invaluable, I should add it’s ran perfectly.

I’ve since been informed by viewers that the switching is automatic but I’m still not sure how you go about running the carb out of fuel for storage? I’m in the habit of turning off the fuel and letting it run the carburetor dry prior to putting it away. That goes for most everything that goes more than a few days without use.

@@jatoav8or I am grateful you took time to send the note. I think someone said you just turn the selector between 'run' and the 'off' mode. And this drains the carb. I haven't been able to verify this yet. I find it curious the instruction pamphlet is telling me to adjust the valves per a rigorous schedule; and some other engine stripping maneuvers... Yet there is not so much as a note what spark plugs it takes. Over all, the rig seems solid. However, the pamphlet is too sparse to be very meaningful. Not sure how Champion is for cataloging and selling parts.... That remains to be seen. Next stop: a solar battery system. With all best wishes.

@@sugarpuddin Your most welcome. I should add that my brother has been using that Champion Generator the past couple years without a hint of trouble. Like most things, they will have a longer problem free life if maintained properly and not abused.
