Thanks for sharing, might give this a try.
I was buying them for $20 for a 4 oz can. Thing is I don’t even know what goes into the product. When you make your own, you know it’s the real thing.
love it
You work on electronics but use a lighter on shrink tube rather than a heat pen? They are not that expensive and run on butane. No burning of shrink tube.
You are right.
Thank you for this video! I thought my motor locked up!
Hey thank you for taking the time to make a positive comment. And I’m glad it worked for you.
Haven't used mine for awhile. And can't find the booklet that came with it. Thanks for the video.
Mine is still working except it’s a little beat up.
@@wtam69 I found my manual and my extra battery. All set up to try it tomorrow. after I charge the batteries.
I dont recommend this. Its better to have a controller with display that shows the actual voltage of the battery
The part that you said when the sound was changing after you closed the lid the washer does shorter back and forth motions to ensure the load is evenly distributed before draining and spinning commences
Old bay!
That’ll work.
Awesome insight thank you.
This is the ONLY thing that worked! WD-40 didn't work, using a heavy-duty screwdriver didn't budge, and the Vise-Grip just slipped off. But tearing off the old plate (using the Vise-Grip) and using the Vise-Grip "sideways" (flattened against the car as opposed to perpendicular) gave me enough torque to easily move screws, even though the screwdriver wouldn't move the screws for a few more turns. Thanks so much for the tip!
I’m glad it worked for you as well. It appears to be a simple job but it can be a pain.
Thank you for posting this! I have this problem all the time.
For the start button you press it normally as if you were starting it to pause holding it for 3 seconds cancells the whole cycle
Don't use newspaper because maybe any holy name on the newspaper
Nice setup. You must be rich.
Just a hobby. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Best title ever!
A cheap one at that. When I found out a decent one costs $40 or more, I figured I better fix this hoe.
@@wtam69 Ha! Even better! Years ago the shifter cable broke on my wife's 2000 Camry. For whatever reason it was difficult to move and it finally broke. They used a cable connected to a polished metal bar, at the end of that was a plastic eyelet that was an interference fit on the bar. That's where it snapped off. There's no replacement other than the entire cable, with a lot of labor. So I did a similar repair, but without welding. I used part of a spent gas shock (like the kind that sometimes holds hoods and trunks up), hacksawed off the metal end of that, that was connected to a similar polished bar. I made a "splint" of the two bars, similar to what you did, using a couple of hose clamps. Not only did it fix it, it shifted a lot more smoothly. That repair lasted many more years until the car got t-boned. If it weren't for that, I'm sure it would still be doing just fine today. Sometimes temporary repairs are good enough to be permanent.
@@jaykay18 Would have made a nice video. A similar story happened to me (maybe I retold it to u already) with the accelerator cable in my Ford. It broke on the BQE and i replaced the cable with a nylon strap found on the side of the road. I tie it to the throttle and pass the strap through the firewall. It was hard to use the strap as I wrapped it around my finger to control the throttle. Made it home ok but the finger was a little sore.
@@wtam69 No, you never told me that story. Excellent story, that's being resourceful. That was luck you found that strap. When the shifter cable broke on the car I was able to move the "bell crank" on the transmission by hand under the hood. I had to rely on the parking brake to hold the vehicle so it wouldn't run me over, because I couldn't start it in gear because of the neutral safety switch. Got it home fine, parking brake, shut the engine, and shifted it back to Park.
Anything current like 2024??
I’m looking for one myself. My current one is 1080P but I want one that can record inside the cabin as well.

How do you remove the latch? My cable came off when I was removing the dash panel.
If you are talking about the latch at the front of the engine compartment, then you have to see what screws or bolts are attaching the latch to the chassis and then loosen them.
Was ready to throw out my machine. You’re a life saver!
I appreciate your feedback. I’m glad the video is of help to you.
Great video, i always drain all the fuel out off the tank in the winter. In the spring i spray wd40 Over the mechs, clean the spark plug, never had any probs 👍
Or take your gas equipment out and start it once a month, regardless of the season.
Hello will you please tell me if this is the model where the dryer has a lint filter in the door with a lint screen in the bottom of the door area? Thank you for responding
The dryer has a lint filter but it’s not on the door itself. It’s in the front panel about one and a half foot from the ground. Most lint filter are located there.
Correction, because it’s 2 in 1 unit so the front panel of the dryer is not close to the ground. The filter is on the front panel. Some 24 inch models’ filter is on the back wall.
@@wtam69 Yes, the front panel, and inside the door has holes all over that funnel the lint into the filter.
I have nss pwm 10a, I have a question, boss, what happens when it is steady green in the middle, it is no longer blinking green but when i turn on it turn on and off on and off it the battery have a problem or may nss?
Steady green means battery is in the correct voltage range. When the grebe light in middle slowly flashes, it means battery level is full. Hope this helps my friend.
@@wtam69 thank you sir
This man fed a bird another bird 😂
do you still eat those bananas?
Yes.
My Eco-Worthy only give our milliamps, junk, and zero refund with claim of 5 years warrant even with video proof. It is landfill
Nice work, that will be there until the cows comes home, or until they raise your taxes.
Thank you Sir. Lived there for almost 40 years without the railing but the need for one now is more apparent.
Good to know , thanks! 1 hour to charge.. another hour to let them cool down...
Great video. Look up Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer.😇 Gift for you.
Sweet Mother of Moses. Someone get this gentleman a Nobel Prize STAT........
You are too kind.
@@wtam69 Seriously. I was "Today Old" when I learned this. I checked the oil, I thought the motor or pump were overheating. This after using my washer the other day, giving up after a shut down, then the next day it was happy again. I googled the problem, I lasted 45 seconds with the first video I found, too much blabber, but your video was direct to the point and spot on accurate. THANK. YOU.
@@greatlakesram9662 Most people will not think of releasing the pressure again because you are supposed to prefill the pump so it wouldn’t run without water and damaging it. By filling up the pump they don’t think there could be pockets of air and pressure buildup. Anyway, it’s a small point but can cause starting issues.
what if mine was tin?
Good job my friend! I just found one like him. trying to feed him and give him water. Any tips? Thanks
I’m expert but I just gave the bird some egg yolk for a start.
I mean I’m no expert.
I just found one with a broken leg. How do i nurse it back to health and what do i feed it?
That’s a tough one. You might have to take it to a vet.
@@wtam69 yeah definitely don't have that kind of money and the wildlife place near me is already closed.
They come in portable sewing kits. A lot of them have a little eye on it to put on a keychain! Great to have with you while fishing!
Yes indeed. Good for a lot of occasions.
Thanks for sharing, 👍
I have one , its 8 years old and i still hsve it on my keyring, great tool 👍
Quite handy. I like the scissor and the tweezer.
Wow saved my ass!! 🎉🎉 thank you!
I’m glad you can get it to work.
Thanks!
I’m such a hoarder I just finally threw the old camera away. Thanks for your generosity.
Omg!!! I've been looking for you, you changed your channel name. So glad you're still at it!!
CZcams made me change my channel name so no one can find me now. Oh well, at least you did. Thanks for watching and glad to hear from you.
Yep, that was it! Thank you!!
good day Sir Just asking how to Turn off tbe Wifi in The Screen Appreciate reapond God bless
If you mean you want to disable the WiFi broadcasting, you have to go through the setup process again and when it ask for a connection, give it your WiFi but provide a wrong password. When you do this, you will not be able to update your firmware through the WiFi. Alternatively, you can open your Ecoflow app and unlink it and relink it to the wrong password.
That’s my dads store
Hope he gives you a discount 🙂
@@wtam69 we eat there for free
@@jilljeff7658 Very nice.
What kinda science experiments are you cookin up in that garage
I keep everything in my garage, except the car. Garage band, garage computer startups, what else can restless folks think of.
How do you disconnect the wire connectors from the battery? Power outage during the night and internet provider wont come out until tomorrow. No lights whatsoever and no internet with router working just fine
There’s a push on connector to the battery. Remove the negative cable and wait 10 seconds to reconnect. The backup battery will be recharged in a few hours. Reset router by unplugging and reconnecting power supply after a few seconds.
Thank you for this - I didn't know how to word my question but you worded it perfectly! And I also was afraid to hit the wrong button and disconnect the call; glad you brought that up.
You are right. You waited half an hour for a call and don’t want to touch anything for fear of disconnecting. What a feeling!
1000% correct, there is absolutely no comparison. 20 years ago I had an Olympus 2 megapixel point and shoot camera. I took a picture by the tree at Rockefeller Center in NYC. I blew it up and printed that 2 Megapixel photo at 11x17" size on an inkjet printer and it looks absolutely stunning. Nobody believed me that it was a 2 megapixel camera until I showed them the metadata on the file. The zoom is a big thing of course, but another wonderful thing is the ability to shoot in low light without needing a white LED, if you are taking a still shot. The digital camera gives you the opportunity to leave the shutter open longer to capture more light. But it will capture more light regardless because the lens is bigger and simply allows more light in. Photo means light, without light, there would be no photo.
Spoken like an artist. Light and shadow, shades of color, texture, perspectives, good composition and a creative mind can make a great painting or photograph.
Update to yesterdays comment below: the diesel placed into heater was "old" and maybe the source of the problem. Emptied out system and replaced with fresh diesel, still no joy. Totally baffled now. No choice but to uninstall if can't get it working by lunchtime. "I followed the instructions to the letter, primed the unit, hit go...and ERROR O6 came up. The fan starts for about 1 second, then everything goes dead. Again and again. Been through a bunch of other CZcams videos and no one has a good fix for Error 06. Several videos discuss Error 06 issues, in terms of stripping the whole unit and buying new components, new motherboard, motor, etc but mine is brand new out of the box for god sake. Spent 2 days fitting the kit to my van, now looking at spending tomorrow (3rd day) ripping it all out again. The biggest waste of time and money I have ever known. People need warning about this, not enticing into a yet another corporate scam."
The fan has to turn freely. Make sure it’s not rubbing on the magnet sensor but not so far away it won’t sense the fan turning.
It is way too often the case that the iPhone screen does not look like what you describe. The speaker icon is buried somewhere. This is absurdly lame. The switch for speaker phone needs to be perpetually displayed during a phone call. (For those many occasions in which a person who should not hear a private call walks unexpectedly into the room, for example.) iPhone software was evidently designed by a video gamer who thinks it's FUN to poke all over the place for a simple on/off switch. Really f*** lame!
Imagine you try to find the speaker icon and then lose the hard to connect call.
My warranty expired my Delta 2 won’t charge any more when plugged on charger it turns on but won’t work without the power attached any idea on a fix? Change battery cells? Thank you for your time
Try resetting the BMS. Press power on button, then turn off. Turn on and hold button until you see the battery percentage button. Also try updating firmware if it’s not the latest. Remember to charge battery within the parameters. Get someone qualified to find and disconnect and reconnect BMS inside the casing.
Is that 👩🏻🇯🇵

You were irradiating groceries? That was a tremendous waste of time and energy. I can see using lights like these for certain purposes, but to irradiate all of the groceries you brought in your house is dumbfounding.
That was in the time of Covid when everything was suspect.
@@wtam69 Yeah, I'll admit it was more reasonable at that time. Then again, I was at the casino every Friday playing video poker with the touch-screen machines and table games that used chips. We've all gotten used to the idea that there should be no risk in life. Some people hid away for those years. I lived to the fullest. I got the vaccine, but I wasn't going to let supposition take the best years of my life. They lost my confidence early on when Fauci lied by saying masks weren't of any use (which he later admitted was a lie).
@@lllmmm3572 I think we did the best we could. Have not been to the casino since Covid and I miss it a little bit. Good for you to live life to the fullest. Take care.
