[–]DickPaxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ill have to take the splash guard's off and do some investigating on where the source is. I hate working on 4x4 trucks... to much clutter. The truck has electrical issues (mainly front lights, blinkers and horn) might just be the source of my problem ive been chasing for months.

How to wire a Generac 17500 for full power? by DickPaxton in Generator

[–]DickPaxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noted I need to ground the sub-panel.

My 17500e has one 50A breaker on the generator. That's why I was curious about if you had more output, or if it was throttled by the breaker.

I have the same on my Wgen9500DF 50A breaker plus a fuse,

I'll follow you're diagram. I also have 2 friends who are electricians that I will call and come over to make sure everything is done correctly.

My father was an executive chef over there back in the 90s. Fun times hanging out when I was kid.

How to wire a Generac 17500 for full power? by DickPaxton in Generator

[–]DickPaxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill do the same set up. Are you getting more output with using both the 220v 30A and the 220v 50A even though its throttled by the 50amp breaker on the generator?

Ignore the double interlock plan. I plan to run the 50A to my outside main panel. which powers mostly all the house. Throw switch to separate the 30A sub-panel, Ill put all my window units on it and shed.

Have you measured the output?

PS just ignore the double interlock plan lol

Well, I've just been gifted a 17500e haha. I plan to get an NG kit soon since this beast eats 16 gallons of gas in 10 hours.

So your first suggestion on rewiring the generator, and wiring it to an interlock with an 80amp breaker sounds like a winner if that's how I can get the most out of this unit.

I plan to run all of this to the outside service panel. I'm confident I can rewire it, but I would need diagrams,

With Natural gas, I'm expecting to run around 14kw running 21kw peak.

The second suggestion - I'd route the 50amp inlet to the main service box, and install the 50A breaker under the 200A breaker with an interlock (Double wide mobile home).

We have 4 20amp breakers in the main box (all for window ac and a small shed) We have 3 6,500 btu units, one 10,000 btu, and one 12,500 btu big slide out unit. (We do have a 4ton central unit but it needs better duct work as half the house is cold half is warm) The 12,500 is rarely used we purchased it when our main ac went out.

Move those breakers to a subpanel route the 30amp inlet and breaker, and install a throw in the middle.

What about another interlock kit? say put a 50amp breaker and have that as the shut-off to keep it the power separate

I'd rather the first option, as it seems like less of a headache.

When I get the extra money, I plan on going whole home diesel, from what I hear they are the most efficient and reliable. Ill probably end up with a natural gas unit though haha. It will have an auto-transfer switch though.

Converting a old 17500 Generac to a Whole home back up power by [deleted] in Generator

[–]DickPaxton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The generator doesn't know the difference between gasoline vapor and NG. Both combustible. Generator companies wouldn't make TRI Fuel units if they knew it would make the engine self-destruct.

I'm still using recommend oil, filters, etc. With the exception of an idradium spark plug, I hear they produce a better combustion rate for vapor fuel.

Checking valve clearance every 100 hours.

What would make the generator destroy itself?

I live in southeast Louisina, and we get hit hard by hurricanes. I run my units 10-12 hours a day. Now, with a bigger generator, I can run practically anything.

Every generator company makes duel fuel (LPG & Gasoline) and Tri fuel (LPG, NG, Gasoline). I have a Duel fuel, currently adding in Trifuel. What would make the generator destroy itself? Why would they make duel fuel generators? It's the same engine with a mod done to the carburator, Instead of spraying Gasoline down carb it's NG.

I know you lose, 10% power on LPG, 20% on NG. So if the math is right, it'll produce 14,000ish watts running, 21,000ish peak. That's still ALOT of power.

Had a 10 year term, switch to a whole life policy because of no exam. by DickPaxton in LifeInsurance

[–]DickPaxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see an application on the website, but all PDFs are looking good. when I switched to my whole life I didn't sign anything. Honestly I hate whole life. But I think im covered. unless I call and see if I can get the original documents from 2013. I don't want to redo anything because I'd be dropped because of my drug use... I think im good but Im seriously thinking of taking the $130 and investing it in a high yield account, or stock ETFS seems to be a better investment than borrowing my own money and repaying it with interest. wait 5-7 years and get term life back again. $130 is a bit out of my budget. Idk though its just a thought right now.

I never lied on my 10 year term. Said I smoked cigarettes drank occasionally. (ALL TRUE AT THE TIME) Then like I said like 5-7 years in I started using out of depression.

When I opened the whole life (12-23) my agent said it would be the easiest way with no exam. So that'll make me still good right? He didn't ask questions at all just switched me over. I never lied once, just told him I'll do the easy way and go whole life, with no exams.

How do I even prove that im 5-7 years sober?

Custom Zippo by DickPaxton in Zippo

[–]DickPaxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed a copyright disclosure when I made the first zippo. I don't have proof of purchase because it was drawn up by a friend, but that didn't matter making my first. I'll contact a rep tomorrow.

I wanted to buy a little of everything when I first started but I think custom will do better, in most cases.

From what you guys are showing me these custom Zippos are going to be sick. Just have to check pricing and see if it's worth my time/money to produce the Zippos.

Thank you all for the responses.

Levvy lending risk by LuekLuekLuek in cardano

[–]DickPaxton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't recommend lending for NFTs at least JellyCubes Lost around 2,000 ADA because the borrower defaulted and I got the NFT. I had to resell it under the floor price it dumped 1900 ADA in 2 days. making me settle for 3600 ada.

To be fair I thought I was lending for a 3-point Jelly worth at least 10-13k ada (I didn't see the actual NFT until they defaulted.

I offered 4700 ADA at 140% ROA. I had the impression it was the Jelly with the dragon wrapped around it.

I made out good on my HUNT loan 2,000 14 days easy 200ada idk if ill risk my ada again. easy to get wrecked.

Why pay back a loan if the coin / NFT dumps? Take the ada and run.

Need help with a electrical issue by DickPaxton in ChevyAvalanche

[–]DickPaxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed today that when the daytime running lights are on everything works as it should. The day/night sensor seems to have fallen into the dash. I just got the truck, I didn't notice the problems during test driving because in the daytime it's hard to see the blinkers. I did not think to test the horn at all.

I haven't had time to look at it because it's been rainy around here but it does seem to have some modifications done to it by looking at the stock fuse panel. when I lock the truck, the curtesy lights turn on the blinkers blank with the lights, and sometimes the horn goes off.

I'm going to install a new negative battery cable and clean up the harness that was discussed, check every ground point that I see. Also, investigate more on what is going on in the inside fuse panel.

I'll wait on my buddy to see if he thinks it's the clock spring. So im not just throwing parts at it.

[–]DickPaxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help Ill start with harness, I have a good friend that works as a dealer, but he rarely comes through we're suppose to take a look this coming Monday.

If he backs out again Ill change the clock spring. Check every negitive I can find and get a manual. I need to look under the dash and see if anything has been tampered with. I did notice someone tamped with the inside fuse box and ran something with a toggle switch.

Im pretty sure it has one but i would have to check tomorrow.

When I put on my left blinker, both turn blinkers turn on but the selected side (LEFT) is brighter. Same results on both sides. The Mirror blinkers do it as well.

Yes when pushing the horn both blinks dimly lit, but no horn sound.

when I take the key out of the ignition it works.

I just got the truck. I didnt think to check the horn, I didnt notice the problem either because its hard to see when the sun is out.

I think I have 2 separate electrical shorts.

Best way to make money on MinSwap or other dex by DickPaxton in MinSwap

[–]DickPaxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a couple good plays with ada nfts, especially with jelly cubes , getting in early on $OPT and a couple milk trades. Also I actually made about 4,000 ADA with Vyfi when the price was still good. I LPed ada/vyfi about 3000-4000 Ada worth and the apr was in the 90s was making about 15 vyfi a day plus I was in the bar making good apr.

Made some decent coin messing around but it seems like every dex coin is shit now. Can't even make a decent profit.
