Thing is i used my hobby charger to charge it as i lost my stock one so ill assume its a cheap chink battery.

Well i guess for the ell of it i will get a jaycar battery and see how it gose for learning sake lol.

Any ideas how to repair my blower resistor? Fan in the poor old Camry finally died, so a bit of a play with the blower relay brought that back but decided while I was at it to have a look at why the fan speeds weren't working.

2/3 coils are burn't out I was thinking transformer wire and winding a few new ones. Any ideas if this will work or would it be easier to just grab one from the wreckers. I am pretty sure it would be fine initially just not sure how long it would last.

they will be made out of resistance wire, not copper.
Probably easiest to jut get one from the wrecker.

wait I might have been thinking of the wrong bit.
is it the switch or the motor itself thats burnt?

if its the motor then yeah you can re-wind it, it'll take about 2-3 hours all up and then you will need to balance it.
Alternately one from the wrecker should be $10-30.

if its the switch your talking about, then what I said before goes.

Yeh what you said first was correct. Steve.

So yeah i went and got my bike license this month and got my bike this week (thanks to jake for helping with the transport of this unwieldy behemoth)

its a 91 suzuki gsx250f and i love her XD Still have to find the internals for the neutral switch that handily werent included with the bike (wth) and get new bolts for the fairing mounts then i can rego it and all that fun/expensive type of thing

I have a GSXR400 engine sitting in the shed

haha could probably use it. its freaking heavy compared to a cbr thats for sure

Did you ever get that sand rail buggy thing built?

got any photos of the switch? perhaps one could be made?

Now heres a question,

On the carbs for the gsx, (theres 4 of them) The vacuum line for the two inner most carbs (cyl 2 and 3) are capped off individually but the outer two (cyl 1 and 4) are linked.

Capping them off individually makes no difference to how it runs but im more curious then anything as to why they'd set it up like this on only two of the carbs?

air flow does some weird things
It probably helps with something!

Does the engine have an unusual crank angle or anything like that that would cause uneven intake pulses that need evening out on some cylinders ?

Would be be possible to hack say a vs commy set of gauges to the senders in an older auto and motor like a turbo350 and 350 chev?

And the fuel sender to the newer dash.

Not Sure, but Not Likely.

It depends on what they use for motors in the gauges these days, a lot of gauges are going with stepper motors these days, in which case the interface to the dash might be some form of digital data stream from the ECU box.

If they are still analog voltage driven moving magnet/coil gauges, you could probably do it with some fidgeting about with resistors to get the voltage/current swings correct. You would need a dash to pull apart, a wiring diagram for the car and fiddle with some trimpots on the bench.
