    I had been looking for a detailed source on this subject for a long time, and unfortunately, I couldn’t understand the technical drawings of the diagrams I found on the internet until I came across your video. I am very pleased that you explained it with such clarity that even someone with no knowledge of electricity can understand it. I have an issue with the electrical system of my 1985 Trans Am, and for some reason, the headlight switch button heats up and the brass metals inside melt and stick together. As a result, the headlights no longer go up; only the light pulps inside are on. Now I understand that a short circuit in the electrical system may have damaged both the relay and the fuses. What steps would you recommend I take to diagnose this?

  • @mark_osborne

    The wires come out of the firewall right under the brake booster, follow them closely all the way to the headlights themselves making sure they are not rubbed through and shorted either to ground or one another. If they look good, unplug the headlights and see if the switch still gets warm. If it does, the only thing left is a problem under the dash

  • @mark_osborne
    @mark_osborneАй бұрын

    I bought 64 cells, they came from a warehouse in Texas but were made in China, so at some point they took the slow boat to the US. The cells cost more when you buy them from the Texas warehouse because the cost to get them to the US is baked into the price. I don't remember the exact cost of shipping from Texas to Michigan, I think $500 ? It wasn't horrible. It was a fraction of what it would have cost me in gas and motel rooms to drive to Texas and back. They came on 1 pallet. I drove to Romulus, Michigan and picked them up at the shipper using my pickup truck. I bought them from Docan Power. Contact Amy. Great outfit. Super happy with the cells. They've been in play for over a year now.

    My quad . When revving in neutral , the secondaries open slightly . Are the doors too tight ?I have a pretty good bog when I stab it from a stand still but runs fine otherwise

  • @mark_osborne
    @mark_osborneАй бұрын

    Completely normal for the secondaires to barely open while revving in neutral. A bog usually indicates the secondary air door is opening too soon or too easy. The choke-brake (diaphragm) located at the passenger side front of the carb should have a rod that leads back to the secondary air door. The choke-brake should hold that door closed ( tight) while idling (high intake vacuum) and bleed-off slowly when you smash the throttle. Some carbs even have a secondary choke-brake located at the passenger rear of the carb with rods leading to the secondary air door. They effectively do the same thing as pertaining to the air door, that is, slow it's ability to open causing fuel to flow out of the secondary nozzles -thus covering up the "bog" you are feeling. Have a good look at all of this and make sure it's all operating as designed. It's possible someone put an aftermarket choke-brake on that's bleeding off too quick. It should take a good 2-3 seconds for that choke-brake (diaphragm) to bleed off if you simply remove the vacuum hose at an idle. If it flys open, that's likely the problem. The opening rate is controlled by the tiny hole where the vacuum hose connects.

    Sounds like a blockage in the idle fuel feed circuit. It's not likely in the throttle plate as you can literally see the circuit, rather, almost certainly in the body of carb. I'd take it back apart and using a rubber blow-gun nozzle, blow air down through the holes that are next to the primary venturi (s)- both sides. This is the idle fuel well. Take a small wire and see if you can dig around as well. Also, make sure the top section of the carb is not warped. If it's warped, fuel won't flow properly through the idle circuit as it takes a trip up- then back down through the top plate right next to where the 2 small bolts secure the top plate at the venturi (both sides)

    The choke pull-off will keep that top air door slammed shut until the vacuum has a chance to bleed off. Free revving it in "park" doesn't always give it enough time to bleed off the vacuum. Try un-plugging the vacuum line to the primary (right front of the carb) choke pull-off and do the test again. Also, you can visually see the secondary shaft move (open) by looking at the passenger side of the carb. There is a green cross-pin going through the shaft. The lockout thinggy prevents the shaft from opening when it's cold by engaging that cross-pin. It should become very obvious what's going on once you study it a bit.

So.....are you still using this system and how's it working?....or have you swapped to something else?

  • @mark_osborne

    Hey Scoop, the Leaf batteries performed amazing. I took them out of service after roughly 7 years. I did a capacity test on them and they still had over 90% of their original rating of 2.2 KWHs. Shocking. Sold them to a friend for almost what I paid back in 2016. He added them to his system. Also, the cells stayed perfectly "in balance" all that time, never needing a BMS "balancer". Talk about quality. Since then I replaced both the Leaf and Volt batteries with LifePO4 technology, 54 KWHs worth. I'm running a BMS on all (4) 16 KWH packs. These new LifePO4's work good so far ( 6 months in). I noticed they do NOT stay in-balance (at the top and bottom) as well as the Leaf and Volt cells but the active BMS handles it just fine. Did I make the right decision ? I'm still not sure. From everything I can learn the LifePO4 cells are nearly impossible to catch fire, and that was my motivation to switch over to LifePO4. If I lived in Arizona (as opposed to effing Michigan), I would have kept the Leaf and Volt cells and had them in a shed 30 feet from any buildings and ran with it. But I can't do it here in cold Michigan as they won't tolerate the freezing temps.

    There's a little "lock-out" flipper behind the choke that prevents the secondaries from opening until the choke is completely open. Occasionally that flipper doesn't move far enough (even with the choke fully open), and prevents the secondaries from opening. You can remove that lock-out flipper entirely and just be aware that getting into the secondaries on a cold engine may cause it to "bog" a bit. It requires partially removing the choke housing in order to remove the flipper.
