Chinese Mini Excavator: Cooling and Filtering, Mods Upcoming Project Series Overview
In this video I give a quick overview of the modifications I plan to make during this upcoming week. The modifications will add filtering and cooling to hopefully help extend the useful life of my new Chinese mini excavator. I will add a 7" cooling fan with a thermal switch set to turn the fan on at approximately 113F , a hydraulic oil cooler, an engine oil filter, an engine oil cooler, these mods will also require fabricating mounts, a small amount of electrical wiring.

I am working on the stroboscope for the lathe and just wanted to update viewers on the progress. Preliminary code (as below) is working.

Laser Cut Acrylic Change Gears on a Mini Lathe?!?! Does it work?

My Harbor Freight 7x10 mini lathe is pretty old and I broke one of the 80 tooth change gears.

cool attachments for your excavator *thumbs up👍Au💯full view always*
Yo you still stuck in there? 😂 thank you I hope this fixes my issue
It felt like an eternity working under the dash area...
I have 2 tall tubular solar batteries of 12 V each one is 245 amperes, so it's a 24 V system. Now please solve my problem, can I run 19V laptops over a 24 V dv system without any inverter. please help
@@EnSabahNur-ir5mw with a dc-dc converter bucking 24v down to 19v yes you can
@@madscientisthut means i can use my laptop by using it's 19 V dc adaptor directly om 24 V. Dc system
@@madscientisthut i think the laptop's adapter will stepdown the voltage to 19 V, is it true
Unknown if that is true, the adapters I have used require AC input from 100 to 240v. I guess you could try and hook the adapter up and measure the output of the adapter to see if it regulates a DC input.
@@madscientisthut Thank u so much. I think nobody has ever worked over it, otherwise it's not an impossible task. They can easily make a dc to dc converter.
Good looking sensor. Thanks for showing!
important stuff to know, good information, many miss out on the maintenance.
looks a great addition to the excavator mate *thumbs up👍Au💯full view always*
cool mod on that excavator *thumbs up👍Au💯full view always*
Thanks, I just picked up the kit!
Very clever to do it like that, thanks for showing!
Glad you liked it!
Very helpful video thanks alot
Amazing machine and a great DIY upgrade to prevent more problems in the future. 👍👍
Great way to fix the problem, thanks for showing us how to do it.
Good information provided. Thank you.
Awesome new mini excavator. good to see it brand new. Have fun with it.
Really appreciate your video, thanks so much!
looks a good bit of gear good cure for the loose motor mate *🥸fully viewed🤖Au🦘☑thumbs up👍👍*
That's a super cool piece of equipment! Bet you're going to find all sorts of stuff to do with it. Around how much do those cost?
@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 I got this one at auction for 3500.00 plus auction fee of 15% and taxes. Edit: I have so many projects already planned for it, so it will pay for itself in a few weeks of saved time.
Without cruise control I get tickets. Thank you for fixing mine.
6 years later this video still helping us Thanks for this video man!!!!!
Yepper and I too am one of those being helped. Thank you.
Thanks saved me
Damn . . . This mill is even nicer than the other one I commented on. Wow man . . . Good job again 👏
That ball mill is a thing of beauty . . . I would just speed it up a little bit. I tried to make one recently with little success. It worked for about an hour and then burned up yhe belt. Back to redesign and I will take your idea and keep it in mind, that thing is nice 👍😎
Thank you so much!! That worked!
My radio is not working and it sounds static then it just completely stopped. Could this be a fuse problem? And where can I find that on the key tab?
thanks for making this bud,i got a new kit and replaced it just like you did,press the bulb and fuel comes up in it actually even leaked some where up high got that cleaned up went to crank it with choke on and it runs BUT as soon as i turn the choke off the party is over,so im scratching my head everything is brand new,spark plug,new gas,filter,everything.i need to weed eat bad the weeds are super tall,our precious cat got bit sunday by a rattle snake and he didnt make it so im heart broken and really want to go cut some / every bit of tall grass down,any tips sir ?thank you so much.
@@onewheelup so so sorry to hear about your cat, I just lost my best buddy a few weeks ago, still heart broken myself. Did you replace your fuel lines? If not you may have one of two possible fuel line issues, cracked line or clogged line that the choke helps overcome.
@@madscientisthut hey sorry to hear that,i just walked outside and i used to set outside before i go to bed and crank up some led zepplin and set there with him,but he's not there so i cant even walk outside,it hurts man,but yea i replaced the hoses and everything,if i pump on the bulb and it fills up with fuel then the hoses arent swapped around correct ?
@@onewheelup yes that sounds right with the lines, only other thing i can think is maybe one of the gaskets on the carb are not seated and it is pulling a little air after the carb so then when the choke is off there is not enough getting pulled through the carb.
@@madscientisthut what about the yellow return line length inside and the other air line do they need to be submerged in gas or not in the gas ? this is one thing no videos clarified .
the black line with the filter sits in the bottom of the fuel tank and picks the fuel up, the yellow clear one sits at the very top of the tank just below the grommet that fits into the top of the fuel tank.
Thank you for the tip because this situation just happened right now
Omg you are a genius Mad Scientist this trick worked in 15 seconds! Love this i subscribed to your channel
Easy! Thank you! ❤
Weigh the bags occasionally while heating them. When the weight stops going down, they're as dry as they're going to get.
Thank you !!!!
Thank you
Thank you!!! I could not have done the replacement without your help!!!
Beautiful 🎉🎉🎉
Just fixed mine today, thank you!
for $1 more you could have got a replacement filter cover, a choke housing, new replacement air filter + a spare one, a spare priming bulb along with the one on the new carb, fuel line, gaskets, a beautiful woman expert to install it for you, a friendly Golden Retriever, Partridge and a pair tree.
It helped me out.I bought a different kit for like 13 bucks.They had a bunch of different ones.This one came with a better filter that matched but you help me out thank you
Thank you so much for this video it worked!!!!
Awesome! Thanks! It worked the same on a Toyota Kluger 2013
2024 and i’m so grateful for this video 🩷🩷
Will your video on the brake and cruise control switches work for a 2015 juke? When we push to start our car we get a clicking sound, dashboard lights come on but the car doesn't start. After a while it starts but mostly it's a clicking sound with dashboard lights on.
A quick question, did you see my other video for the no start issue. ua-cam.com/video/0hZmqoetpCc/v-deo.html If this video works for getting it started , then I am thinking it certainly would help to replace the brake switch.
Very well done ,great camera shots . Just got my carb and kit . It was rated as least amount of returns by Amazon . Paid $16 for the whole thing

Sorry ! A line of code is missing. Perhaps ... frequency = 10000000UL / PulseWidth; correct?
You are correct, it looks like the comment is missing at least one line of code for the freq calc. I will have to see if I can find the original code for this experiment, but probably will not be able too, that was a few laptops back in time.
My 2000 i30 only has the Cruise control Cut Out Switch I found some black plastic pieces on my floor mat a d noticed that my cruise control has quit working. Thanks for sharing your video.
GOAT
WOW dattt shitt worked! Idk how but I’m back on the road 😂
Bless my guy just made me a few bucks 🙏
Do you need to replace both switches or just break switch?
you can just replace the brake switch for the intermittent start issue. I replaced both to save me time later on since both switches get the same number of cycles I figured they probably wear out at similar intervals.
Thank you!
thank you friend for you solved this problem🙏
Muy buen video, claro y conciso. tengo un corto en mi auto Malibu 2013, pongo el tes de lampara al poste negativo de la bateria y la otra punta lo pongo a la terminal negativa desconectado y prende el foco del probador, ya quite todos los fuisbles, relays, micro fusibles, desconecte TCM, ECM, BCM y no se apaga el foco, arriba de la bateria, trae un modulo con fusibles, donde esta indicado el cable 1 o X1, lo desconecto solamente ese, y dejo los demas con electricidad y se termina el corto, pero no encuentro que alimenta ese cable, usted sabra, por favor me puede ayudar con consejos o que debo de hacer me puede ayudar con algun consejo, es un auto Malibu 2013. Saludos y gracias por anticipado
I wish I could help you with this one, but I think it will be a challenge to try and fix without actually being there with you checking wires.
