Newcastle V Arsenal Day Return from Dublin
On Saturday, 2/11/2024, Newcastle play Arsenal in a three o'clock kick-off. For once, the flights fell nicely, so it was possible to get the Ryanair 7.30am flight out, go to the match and get back home on the 5.30pm flight. The game finished 1-0 :)

06 Strip Frame, Clean Down and Paint, 20241105S5
Просмотров 2252 месяца назад
This time, we strip the frame down completely. With everything removed, we rub down all the metal, clean it and spray it in preparation for eventual reassembly. We originally planned to paint it, but that didn't work out, so we switched to plan B and sprayed it with Smooth Black Hammerite. Buddy was definitely not impressed with the spraying! Video 1: Demonstrating the misfire and getting the b...
05 Splitting Exhaust and Preparing Frame For Painting
Просмотров 552 месяца назад
We decided that the next move was to rub down the frame and prepare it for painting. We also needed to split and remove the exhaust pipes and deal with a few seized bolts and sheared-off fixings. Video 1: Demonstrating the misfire and getting the bike into the shed and onto the ramp: ruclips.net/video/RHmlLO9MPoI/видео.htmlsi=YzAt_EzPdKRKcUe8 Video 2: Starter Solenoid diagnose, explanation of o...
04 CompressionTest 20241018
Просмотров 932 месяца назад
Wet and dry compression test on engine. This turned up a surprise - we were expecting the back cylinder to be bad, but that came in low, barely up to tolerance. The front cylinder had issues, with a difference of 4 kg/cm2 between the dry and wet tests. We will have to dig further.

03 Removing The Engine and Sitting it on the Bench

Removing the engine and sitting it on the bench. Unfortunately, for the most important sequence of actually removing the engine, I forgot I had the radio playing in the background. This meant I couldn't use that video for fear of a copyright strike. When my editing skills improve (if ever!), I'll revisit this and try mute the soundtrack when music kicks in. Other videos in this series: Video 1:...
02 Operation of Solenoid, Explanation and Repair, 20241010E2
Просмотров 872 месяца назад
Second video about the VX800 Suzuki. The starter motor had been intermittent in operation. The motorcycle has two other major faults - an engine misfire and leaking front forks with contaminated brakes. These other faults will be covered in other videos, but this one looks at the starter solenoid. It starts off examining the solenoid while it is still on the bike. Then the solenoid is removed a...
01 Suzuki VX800, Engine Misfire, Getting the bike into shed and onto ramp - 20241003E1
Просмотров 1473 месяца назад
This is about a 1989 Suzuki VX800 motorcycle with 43,000 Km on the clock. The machine has developed a few faults, the most serious being a mis-fire in the rear cylinder. The engine is leaking out oil at the head-gasket joint. In addition, the starter solenoid is giving problems - sometimes the starter motor fails to function. Also, the front forks are leaking oil, leading to a spongy front susp...
Make a simple motor

Phase 2 apprentices in the trade of construction plant fitting are tasked with making a simple motor using an AA battery, self-tapping screw, magnet and a short length of copper wire. Here we see the results as well as an explanation.

Verifying Ohm's Law by Calculation and by Observation
Просмотров 512 года назад
Here we use Ohm's Law to predict the current flow in the 86/85 windings of a relay. Then we operate the relay and measure the actual flow. There is a slight discrepancy between the two, which can be accounted for when we consider the accuracy of our multi-meter.
Supressing Voltage Spike With an LED Instead of a Signal Diode
Просмотров 972 года назад
On a standard 30 amp, 12 volt relay, every time the coil circuit (86/85) is opened, a significant voltage spike is generated - up to approximately 300 volts. This can damage any electronic circuits associated with this circuit, so we must take measures to supress this spike. Ordinarily, we would use a clamping diode, something like a 1N4000 series diode. This will practically eliminate the volt...
Changing an old laptop to SSD
Просмотров 423 года назад
I have an old Dell Inspiron 1501 from 2007. The machine is slow to boot up, but once it gets going, it's perfectly adequate. In order to extend its useful life, I decided to swap out the original 2.5 inch 160Gb mechanical drive and replace it with a 240Gb solid state drive. I removed the original hard drive, cloned it on to the new solid state drive and fitted this to the machine. The result wa...
Unboxing 2.5 inch SSD and SATA HDD to 3.5 inch Bay Bracket
Просмотров 1163 года назад
Unboxing the adapter kit that allows you to convert a 3.5 inch drive bay in a desktop computer so that it can accommodate one or two 2.5 inch SSDs. The kit includes everything necessary to connect to the computer power (molex or sata power connectors), plus two SATA cables to connect the two drives to the SATA controllers on the motherboard. All the screws and a screwdriver are provided.
Worked Example, Calculate the Torque Transmitted by a Clutch
Просмотров 6243 года назад
As part of the Phase 2 Construction Plant Transmissions Module, apprentices are required to be able to calculate the torque transmitted by a clutch, given the number of clutch disks, the pressure plate force, the co-efficient of friction and the mean effective radius of each clutch disk. This is a worked example of such a calculation.
Calculating the Co-efficient of Friction
Просмотров 803 года назад
Part of the phase 2 syllabus requires that you are able to calculate the co-efficient of friction between two surfaces. You will be given the weight (or the mass) of a body of metal, and will be told the force necessary to move the metal along at a steady pace over a level surface. From that information, you will be asked to calculate the co-efficient of friction between the two surfaces: Co-ef...
