How to find break in invisible fence wire | Shocked this Worked!

[@jozirny1]

I’m amazed how well this worked. I thought it was going to be hard to hear on the radio but it was plain as day. Funny moment when I pulled out my lawn tractor after seeing you use yours, only to realize it’s a diesel and doesn’t have an ignition coil! Ended up using my motorcycle and it was so easy. Saved myself hundreds of dollars!

I was very skeptical at first myself. Glad this video helped

I definitely understand the concept being an Industrial technician for 20yrs and worked on small engines since I was only 10yrs old working with my dad.

worked like a charm to within 5 feet of issue. 1000ft 22 guage wire. used a small lawn mower.

Can you hook one of the two paired wires at the house (transmitter) to the spark plug wire? I'd rather not have to put another junction into my fence wire if not needed.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I don’t see why not! I just find it helpful to determine if the issue lies within the main loop or the transmission lines first.

[@timothywald9079]

Just wrap it around the wire going to the spark plug - not stripped or anything?

[@tridsonline]

👍🏻 Brilliant! Are there any alternatives to the alternator as the source of trace signal? I'm thinking of something like an electric drill maybe, or an attachment of some sort, powered by an electric drill? Or even better, something more portable like a battery-powered gadget?

I'm currently troubleshooting my system. I'm using one of those transmitters and detectors. The problem, in my case, is that there's still some conductivity in the circuit, but the resistance is very high. So, the signal still follows the path all the way, but the transmitter is not working as it should (the resistance also fluctuates depending on how wet the ground is). The resistance of 1000 feet of 18 gauge copper wire should be around 6 ohms. An ohm meter (in a multimeter) will show you if you have a degraded connection at some point. My next step is to divide and conquer with a LONG piece of wire that I can run back to the main junction. My advice, if you have a multimeter, would be to measure the resistance of your loop when you install it and it's working correctly. Then if the system degrades over time, you can check the resistance and see how different it is compared to when it was installed.

Thank you!

this guy is joking right

Nope, it works
