Robby you missed an opportunity with flock of pigeons. You should have said a Flock of Seagulls. That would have been tubular

[@rodney1818]

I would love to be there but thanks to Biden omics I am so broke I can't even afford to eat everyday of the week

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Yeah my girlfriend and I live on a very fixed budget. We can't afford that fancy stuff .😮

[@shannonspear8751]

You mean good thing we got lights on this Kitty 🐈‍⬛

[@nealmurphy647]

Im so old that when i was young, VCR's were so expensive you would just rent one for the night. It came in a padded suitcase and everything. Saturday movie night in a box!!

[@billbillinger2491]

In 1985 I paid $415 for a Kenwood VCR. In 2024 dollars that would be $1,189.53!

[@user-ok5ye8py5h]

And you had to wait in line to see if they weren't already all rented out.

[@Weidjeep]

The good old days.

[@MacGyver2154]

I'm so old that a VCR wasn't invented yet. TV had a dial, no remote. Phone had a cord and rotary dial. And gas was 39 cents a gallon.

[@uurkisme]

My dad told me about those days. Wild

[@ccarson380]

It's funny how commenters are on you about your wiring, Apparently they haven't seen how Matt starts Bombi.😂😂

[@AlWorth9738]

hahaha... I knew he did that at first but I didn't realize he was still doing that until a few days ago --- but I don't think they've been showing them start it every time. :)

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Among the several things that are wrong or unfinished on the Bombi, it at least does not set itself on fire . . . Of course, all the wiring experts came out of the woodwork *after* Whiskers had that little episode.

[@frankhage1734]

Robby, That old Amp Meter requires all the current to flow through it. This means you need at least 6ga copper wire from the alternator to the control panel and back to the battery. More modern amp meters use a shunt and measure voltage across the shunt and convert to Amps. This keeps the main power leads out of the panel and allows you to use much smaller gauge wiring. If you wanted to safely handle a 240A alternator, you'd need to use 0000ga (4/0) wire.

[@LavaKimo]

You are correct, he is going to fry some more wires.

[@dobledekersoulwrekr]

Just get rid of that ammeter. Put a voltage gauge in its place. A lot safer

[@offroad6309]

Let's see, 240 amp alternator pushing through a 60 amp meter what could possibly go wrong. Let's not mention using the positive side of coil that is probably going through a resistor wire or ballast resistor. SMH. Keep the fire extinguisher handy. Really hope you are lucky.

[@AaronNicoli]

this - it has literally nothing to do with voltage, it has to do with the path of the circuit. if it were running at higher voltage then technically it would pull less amps and actually cause less load on the wiring.

[@petersgrayson]

I think you hit the nail on the head, I commented elsewhere, but the high voltage will mean the battery will want to charge (yes overcharging) and pull more current naturally. I wonder with the regulator misbehaving over volting to 18v rather than typical 14.4v the battery was charging and pulling too many amps through the wiring and amp meter. With the regulator/alternator fixed and the battery likely fully charged (not being overcharged) means less current is now being drawn. The fundamental issue might still be their, just hidden until the battery is low again 😮.

[@thatdave86]

All I will say is that Robby,you are so entertaining,you could be on the Big screen ,a movie star ,thank you for making smiles

[@ericarmstrong1973]

Chad, I am glad your stunt double was able to step in and help out. Not that Whiskers need it as Robby did a great job before. But he left American Forks with out any supplies. However Robby and Team stepped up and saved the day.

[@davestevens4263]

That's exactly how you deal with haters , just have Chad & his helper billy do it !!! That's great !

[@timothysimpson912]

[@mrromantimothy]

Considering the time Robbie put into it. As Time pressed as he is that was a great job he should have followed through on it . The key is he learned a lot I'm an auto electrician and he's got my vote. I don't know how Chad's name got involved nothing beats Chad and his Mini-Me s

[@ronthompson2366]

Thank goodness for Chad. Once again he was there to save the day, a true Super Hero ! Be fun to see what vehicle makes it to the Off Road Games... Once you get Whiskers wrapped or painted. A pair of old school Hooker Side pipes running the exhaust up each side would look and sound great. A nice little 14 inch TV DVD player and sound system in the back would be a great addition. Mount one of those small round coolers with a spout... so you can put hot coffee in it to provide a hot warm drink. When on a rescue and it's cold. A roof rack to carry a assortment of items... and a ski or board and rope mount. So you can haul / tow Colton from the back running the camera

[@Jon-wg8vr]

That’s amazing. Your pigeon is bilingual and also speaks crow

[@GuyChapman]

Bombi is a real addition to the team. Loved watching him help "Chad".

I've got a new 2023 Polaris General that I just wired for On-road use (legal here in NC) I wanted so bad to make it nice and neat but ended up looking like a bird nest. After watching Robby do such a professional job and admitting he was new at it I want to rip all mine out and start over. Great Job Robby. Your videos are the first ones I watch every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, Then Fab Rats then Matts then Chads. In that order incase I run out of time.

[@landlocked4771]

Loved the bus driver with the sense of humor, and thought when Chads man was done he would climb out and have a umbilical running into his pants because he seemed to use a lot of butt connectors, maybe some sort of in slacks seat warmer or something. The next time you get an invite to the off road games, you may have to walk your property and find the rock that Matt chiseled your invite into as he seems to be regressing technologically . Just having a little fun guys, love you all. : )

[@randytolle6706]

Remember the Ammeter Shunt (may be external OR inside the gauge) should be between the battery and All Loads. If for instance you add extra lighting and feed it from the battery side, the lighting current draw with be added to the current going to the battery.

Voltage doesn't fry wires, Amperage does. Remember grommets, don't pinch wires and check for shorts.

[@John13Edge]

Low voltage doesn’t fry wires …High voltage does ….

[@donras564]

Voltage is related to amperage. When amps go up so does voltage and Vice versus. Volts is called electron moving force amps is the flow of the current.

[@jeremyleis5415]

@@donras564 Wrong answer, the more voltage you have the less amps required to do the same work. Look at 110 and 220 volt capable things for easy proof.

Green wire goes to the external regulator you failed to hook up! 😮 Ha ha 😂

[@Dustball460]

Robbie- the small silver cube with the green wire is a horn relay. One terminal will be +12V from the battery, one terminal will be +12V to the horn, and one terminal will be from your horn switch that is switching ground.

As I understand electric current, its not the voltage that overheats the wire, it is the amps.

You are exactly right. With a fixed load resistance, the higher the voltage applied to the load, the higher the current flow.

[@ischmidt]

Correct, which is why when fuses blow is rated in amps.

Hey "Chad."..do inform Robby that he needs to call a Glazier. That windscreen is so dangerous towards inwards collapse especially during Matt's Off Road Games !

[@doggonedk]

I can see you know exactly what you're doing and you wired everything correctly but it's your explanation that's driving people crazy. Over voltage doesn't melt wires over current draw melts wires. You can run thousands of volts through an 18 gauge wire but only in milliamps. It's that crazy ohms law thing people keep jabbering about. My qualifications don't matter, you done good! Keep up the great work!

[@guypehaim1080]

The one thing you must keep in mind, however, the amout of voltage you can apply to any wire is limited by the amount and quality of the insulation surrounding the wire. Just like the thickness and material of the pipes and hoses in a hydraulic system.

[@doggonedk]

@@guypehaim1080 arc over is a completely different scenario than overcurrent. How much insulation is on teaser leads and they carry thousands of volts. But not much current milliamps.

[@guypehaim1080]

Remember, voltage doesn't flow, so these leads are not carrying voltage, rather they are carrying current. Also, I am aware of arc over. This is the principal result of insulation failure. This is how many unintentional groundings and short circuits occur. Insulation is designed to contain voltage.@@doggonedk

Ammeters are not used in newer vehicles because of the high current flow and danger of fire. That is why newer vehicles use a voltmeter to show state of system charge.

[@danmoffet7744]

Yes, it is not the voltage but the current (amps) that heated the wires up. Potentially the full charging amps (70 amps?) might have gone through the ammeter to recharge the battery. Don't let the smoke out!

I'm sure Chad would remind you, in case I missed it, but a heavy ground wire from the frame to the engine is very important. Carries the heavy amperage when cranking the starter, AND ties the alternator in to everything else.

[@chadp6307]

My first car as a teenager was old enough to be designed with an external voltage regulator. Mine wasn't charging at all, and I ended up taking it to an alternator repair shop. They found that due to age and rust, the regulator was no longer grounded. It would cause one of two scenarios, either it would allow the alternator to over-charge the system, or not charge at all. Once a good ground was made to the regulator, the charging system returned to normal.

[@Ram1rez601]

I remember Vcrs. Vcrs were awesome when the cassette film wasn't messed up. *Tracking* *tracking *. You could record live tv yourself, stash and rewatch later with friends. Maybe hustle. Vcrs were also the hookup for gaming, if your tv didn't have av connections. Plug in your super cool mini camera to watch it on your tv. Plug the stereo in for bass while watching movies or gaming.
