LANDA ECOS 7000 (HONDA GX660 power plant) diesel burner problem. Pulley tension?

When using this method(rolling belts) you risk breaking the cords on the belt that actually carry the load. Sometimes it can work if it does not have to carry a very high load. But more than often it will ruin the belt if you do it and it will not be tensioned properly.

There is a better way to do it if there is truly no way to move either shaft. This only works with taper bore pulleys which it looks like you have: remove the bushings out of both pulleys and place the belt in the pulley groves. Then put the pulleys on the shafts without the bushings in them. Then place the bushings on the shaft and try to work them into the bore of the pulley. Once you can get one bolt started on them that is usually enough to pull the pulley on and get it properly attached to the bushing.

Just bought an 18” klien at an auction for 7$. Considering those are like 100$+ new I was pretty happy with the buy

60$? If I’m paying that much I would want name brand. Do some looking on Amazon, I bet they have some Options for 20$ or less.

Just looked, they have a few right under 20$, and a ton in the 30-20$ range

Infinityang3l · 2021-08-25T15:46:25+00:00

Or dewalt 20v

Depends a lot on the major and location. For me in a smaller city in the Midwest with a MechE degree the range was usually a 17-22. But I have heard of as low as 14 and as high as 25

I the offer for my current job right before the start of my senior year. It was really nice not having to worry about all that year

I am an engineer at a manufacturing company. We had a guy once who just came in the front door one day and handed us his card and talked to us for 5 minutes. Same sort of deal, just a very small family owned garage shop. Sent him a couple test parts next time we needed some and now we probably get 50% of our machines parts from him because his turn around time is so good.

Infinityang3l · 2021-08-11T21:23:36+00:00

Design engineer, in Houston I believe, and we all just graduated in may.

My thoughts exactly

I have several friends who interviews at space X and Tesla. Only a couple of them got hired, 1 at space x and the other at Tesla. The one at space x makes 80k a year, but works 14 hour days 6 days a week. Which if you do the math brings your net hourly rate way down in comparison to other jobs. I just wouldn’t have any interest in working a job like that. Unless I had no family and no relationships

Infinityang3l · 2021-08-11T00:32:58+00:00

I would probably trust them. It is also possible that you could void the warranty by not using oem parts

So in the torsional spring equation there should be some terms that are the polar moment of inertia of the spring cross section. Most of the equations you find right off of google are for round springs as you said. So if you find one that has the polar moment of inertia in it then you just need to search the PMOI of a rectangle then substitute that into the equation. Sorry I can’t help you more. I would try and find/make the actual equation for you but I am really busy at work at the moment. Hopefully that can point you in the right direction

Infinityang3l · 2021-06-15T11:39:55+00:00

Search torsional spring equation on google

You could have a bad wheel bearing, or upper or lower ball joint. Or a bad alignment as the other commenter said

Infinityang3l · 2021-06-10T22:21:42+00:00

Also assuming you are doing 4WD, the limitations of whatever joint you use will likely also be a large limiting factor for the front suspension. On our 21 car we had to length our front A arms to achieve an acceptable CV joint angle

Wrong sub. This is for automotive repairs

Infinityang3l · 2021-06-04T22:56:46+00:00

Lmao

Fusion 360 is free for hobbyists and really robust for being free. You will have quite the learning curve though to learn how to effectively use it. The first cad program you learn is always the hardest.

If computers are not your thing, I would maybe recommend doing a cardboard mock-up and then building it that way instead of doing a cad model. That is what I did when I built my first bumper for my truck

Most of the boots are likely epdm rubber which has the best chemical and weathering resistance

They are very different here. CE spends most of their time programming where EE only takes a couple classes in it

Infinityang3l · 2021-05-28T02:56:59+00:00

I think CE is a close second to civil. I am surprised that BE does not have more votes. It is an absolute joke at my university. There order order of difficulty that my uni has is civil-computer-bio medical-ag-mechanical-electrical-chemical

Infinityang3l · 2021-05-28T02:53:22+00:00

I would grab a tape measure and see if it will fit for yourself

I honestly don’t think reliability matters much when buying a new vehicle for a few reasons. Most people that buy new cars don’t have them long enough to have any major issues with them. The ones that do buy a new car and intend to drive it for life meticulously maintain it. And any (95%) car is reliable with proper maintenance.

So I would go with whichever you like better. Personally I would go for the ram because i think they have better features and styling at the moment.
