bloody hell fletch your going to lose your licence/crash into the paetiki bakery like @Testament

has anyone used a china 4x4 winch? i want one for my boat trailer, it will live outside with a tarp over it, curious if they actually produce the line-pull that they state trying to get a runva one but they are pretty hard to deal with.

was this in clarks beach last weekend? cool/unusual sight and drove past very slowly on the open road.

Awesome trip, was cool to meet a bunch of new people - coming back for sure

Glen Pete cam dave will need to make a plan re sunday, we have to pack pallet Prior to airporting

shit i was confused here - (this is dave) @Lt Danand @Lt. Dan theres two of you!! what are the chances one of them fixes the ambulances, and the other is doing his best to end up in one. did they have to back that truck all the way out?

bort you need to make molesworth happen theres no ifs or butts

oh cullen youve done it again

those pure nickle rods on an stick welder are amazing and make a first timer look like a pro. you would probably weld everything with them if they weren't so expensive.

I just noticed my comment above sounds like dodgey border crossing - it wasn’t meant to!!! There’s a good ride out east that needs a little lifting to do

do you have any bikes two man liftable over a farm fence?

ive got a giant burn pile ready to go as long as you dont piss in my toilet glen proposed a border to border , coast to coast tour if we get stuck

@Mr Vapourwhat is the good stuff you put in the crockpot?

do something new new zealand

@MaxPower please connect your brakes to the twister and accellerator to the break lever to scrape past this rule with a twist n stop

I replaced 3 alternators before @Ned pointed out multimeters read high when they have flat battery’s….

youl be fine with road tyres, its everything else thats the issue ill run a scoot again this year

Keep him doubting so we can all claim a handy

Every one of these I haven’t managed to get my $20 to j5 and I would like to resolve it this year can I get someone to aggressively hold me accountable please

She is a planing hull, with enough power it will go faster and faster until it topples off its chine/r.i.p I had a look through the manuals and it just seems to be the turbo that’s noteworthy, bigger picture this motor needs to be replaced with something more modern and fuel efficient, being eco unfriendly is too expensive when there’s plenty of re-man mid 2000’s common rail marine engines on ebay

the one labelled "3" that must be only adjusted by an authorised simon/jesse

Ok - Next question - I would like to figure out if my boat (jet - so 1 extra rpm is 1000 more hp and 100 extra kph) is limited to 2650rpm by the pump throttle arm travel limiter screw, or limited by it already being at max torque output. (Max rated rpm is 2800) The screw is wound pretty much all the way "in" and has a security crimp tag on it. So i should back the limiter/stop screw off a bit and see if the rpm's rise. An extra 150 rpm will be like 8 knots so i'm pretty keen to try as it only does ~25knots now. It was built/owned by the airport rescue people who would be pretty conservitive, interestingly the hand throttle lever could only ever reach 75% of travel before being limited by the injector pump stop screw which i thought was really gammy and hard to drive so i modified the pivot point. They make the "pleasure boat" version of this motor with a different turbo that makes an extra 150hp, so if the screw doesn't make it go faster ill swap the turbo.

Diesel newbie....I was about to post a topic asking for help with osmething but then realised there was a hole in my understanding how how a diesel actually works... does a diesel injector pump "throttle arm" set a rpm governor? So the injector pump should deliver whatever fuel is required to deliver the demanded rpm? (assuming the motor can produce enough power to deliver it) Attached is the "principal" diagram from my bosch injector pump diagram

does anyone have any opinions on spool guns? or have a alloy mig setup they are satisfied with? brands they have used etc that were ok ive only used some reeealy crappy ones and have shyed away from this process until now its the only good solution for boat works.
