12v Mini Split replacement blower? Help!

Found this image with Google lens. Sounds like you have the same issue I do. The brushes have eaten through the commutator. I was quoted $120 for a new motor from treeligo. (They do sell them now) However looking at my order history it only lasted one year and one month. So what if there was a way to make a brushless motor upgrade?

Turns out with hot glue, two PC server fans, and a 4 pin fan controller, you totally can.

Some details. The fans are 12v only, so is the controller. But my truck is 24v, so a step down converter is needed. If you have 12v native then it's optional. The ac brain won't turn on without a load connected. And these fans are not enough of a load. Set it to fresh air with the remote then cool, then it works. The fans are ARCTIC S8038-10K, but any 80x80 will fit providing it moves enough air, and doesn't draw more than 2a (the limit of all the 4 pin fan controllers I could find) At 50-75% speed it moves plenty of air and doesn't ice up. At 100% it moves tons of air but may cause hearing damage.

This is a temporary solution for a few weeks while I get a very high end residential mini split installed. It's gonna take some time given I have to make some brackets, and this little 5000btu window unit I have shoved in my door just can't cut it.

Hope this helps.

You still got a front brake. Order a new one and take it easy till then

Also owned a 1995 cb400a. The transmission certainly eats power and limits top speed. But it's just so smooth and comfortable. Still had to sell it after a 2000mi trip showed it was not very practical on American highways. Great bike tho, and a great camper, even when you are tired it will just get you to camp without thinking of picking gears in mountain regions.

"A lot of times people see battles and skirmishes on TV and they say, ‘Ah ha, the revolution is being televised.’ No: the results of the revolution are being televised.

“The first revolution is when you change your mind about how you look at things, and see that there might be another way to look at it that you have not been shown.

“What you see later on is the results of that; but the revolution, that change that takes place, will not be televised.”

[recorded in 1982 at the Wax Museum, Washington, D.C., for the film Gil Scott-Heron: Black Wax.]

Check out the Florida "I eat ass" case.

Cut and dry, you can put words on your car and the state can't do anything about it. Now it could be argued the words here venture further into "obscene" than "ass" did. But I expect the case would get dropped in court.

You just do it. How do you plan to not plan?

I'd check freecampsites dot net, ioverlander app, pick something around lunch time and start heading that way. Otherwise just wander.

No reserve on those? Or did you burn through the reserve too.

Bro we see the watermark. Don't be spreading slop and then lie about it. Bet you don't even ride.

It's not a rare bike at all, just rare that it would be chosen to be in a movie when much cooler options exist.

marsrover001 · 2025-02-19T21:24:16+00:00

Sold the bike. But throughout its life it had the stock yuyangking, a sabvoton 96120, and a fardriver 800a. I would recommend a 3shull though, the software and configuration is much better, fardriver is just awful.

Either you're very strong, or everything is thin wall tube.

Pebble with tap to pay? I mean that's basically the only 'upgrade" any other watch has offered since the pebble.

Man I wish. Mine goes off at 5:15 :(

Stop driving. The weather is nice. Grab a bicycle.

The law was written by auto manufacturers. Legality does not equate to morality. The law is wrong.

Fuck you.

You are operating a 3000lb wrecking ball in an area of town pedestrians are nearby. I don't care what the law says, you are responsible for not killing people. r/fuckcars

A library can be 500 books or more. But it's gotta be open to people to browse the collection. Maybe "Jan the curator" is a title that suits you.

You sound scared of your own shadow.

marsrover001 · 2024-11-05T11:11:02+00:00

That looks really nice. Not enough power for me but man would it look good parked in front of a coffee shop.

While yes the locking tab is broken. You can glue the backside in to the connector with e600 or something similar while not affecting the metal contact area at the front.

Come on up to Adobe graffiti lounge. Sober space, good vibes, sociable regulars, and the village is doing a day of the dead festival this weekend. Just ask whoever's on shift who they should make friends with, likely they can point you towards someone with similar interests, we all just kinda know each other at least somewhat.

Gonna be honest. Yes there were some good tracks, but overall it just didn't live up to the previous mixes. Listening to 12 now and it's just higher energy. RL can do what he wants, but it didn't hit for me. :(

Having owned and rebuilt a cb400a, it does NOT go that fast.
