You may have already figured it out, but when you tighten the claw on the rim, make it TIGHT! Sometimes, you'll even need to tighten it MORE as you work the bead down. AND stop using a power Ratchet. These tools are not hardened, so a power ratchet, or impact, will strip them out. use ONLY hand tools.... keep smooth steady pressure on them. if you do use power, use a drill with socket adapter. NOT an impact drill, just a standard one. I use my Dewalt 18v or 20v in low gear. usually enough torque to work the bead off any tire.

Adjusted the reading at the guage??? Doesnt that create a false reading? Adjustments are supposed to be at the set screws
@EndWrenchRookie
@EndWrenchRookie 23 күн бұрын
Thanks for the question. Are you referring to when I was checking the vacuum pull of the carbs with the UniSync tool? When I adjusted the screw on the tool itself it was simply to pull the overall resistance of the vacuum chamber down so that I could get a good physical reading of the red ball inside. It was not to make any changes to the carbs themselves. You are correct, you would have to make any changes to the carbs with the set screws. In this case, I did not see a need to make any adjustments to the carbs as the red ball was within tolerance with respect to each carb. Hope this helps? Thanks for the comment!

I’ve had people tell me to use the revolution electronics controller but looks like you just used a relay? What was it from?
@EndWrenchRookie
@EndWrenchRookie 2 ай бұрын
The relay that I used is just a standard 4 prong that I picked up on amazon. It is not a safety item, but more of a longevity issue. From the looks of it, the revolution controller is an electronic safety switch that essentially does the same thing as the oil pressure safety switch that I installed. The only difference is that you don't have to worry about re-plumbing the oil pressure line. Instead of your pump turning off when it senses zero oil pressure, your pump would turn off when it senses zero rpms. Either would work, or both if you really want to be extra safe.

At over 50 year of age I have never heard of electrical outlets sustaining damage to climate control measures. You can measure the relative humidity with an inexpensive device to monitor.

Want to see a 10 year Total Cost Of Ownership vs gas. That plastic body will outlive multiple battery replacements, $$, but not change in battery technology. My craftsman last 20 years, maybe changed oil 3 times, couple of spark plugs and still started on third pull when sold at garage sale this summer after not being run in the last 7-8 years. It was heavy as all get out, fwd, but very low TCoO. Electric just isn’t there yet from TCoO or QoC. These are now disposable tools. I want it to get there, it’s just not there yet.

Respectfully, I have the direct opposite opinion. I've had more headaches from gasoline engines over the years, from leaf blowers to riding mowers, from clogged carbs to valve adjustments to solenoids to deteriorated fuel lines to gas leaking into crankcase before I knew to install a fuel shut-off. I'll never buy another gas engine product again except maybe my chainsaw and riding mower. Granted, battery tech has not reached the point of making an electric riding mower cost effective... yet.
