I can confirm that over here, petrol or aviation fuel, even just some basic sniffing, doesn't appear to be any good for the human brain at least. Fletto, just monitor that sheep, it may produce some exotic wool fibre that's stronger than carbon fibre, otherwise to the edge of the cliff.
Well, dunno if you remember me, but I used to post some enchanting dribble on here for a bit.
After some total distractions, be it work, keeping the good wife happy, karting and karting politics, I got some time to re-plumb the dyno. A friend in South Oz has a STUSKA water brake dyno which is very similar to the TRIK unit I am playing with and, best of all, he had a manual which had some useful info re the circuitry.
Just gave it a whiz and it sort of worked, but clearly needs a much finer adjusting inlet feed valve rather than the gate valve I had fitted. Think I stopped the load needle quivering off by adding a heavy mass to the body of the scale. I do recognise the scale is just junk, but I just needed some indication of load to even see if the dyno could be controlled. If it does go ok, then I’ll just put on a load cell and display, for <$100 via good old Alibaba. The 3 exhausts still make a shitload of noise too.
So, the plan Sam is to to fix the valve then take it home and set it up and annoy the neighbours. It has to go cos we do have some big bulky work coming thru pretty soon.
