New acquisition!

Well, my balloon test to demonstrate the pressure changes in the crankcase has failed miserably. Too much volume in the deflated balloon to show the minute changes in pressure.

So, I cut a 1" x 2" strip of cellofane to demonstrate. Taped it to the side of the jigsaw and over the vent hole. Here is what I saw.

The vid is not really clear, but the movement of air in and out the vent is obvious.

Apparently, a fine oil mist is also dispersed out this vent hole (residue on the cellofane), hence the accumulation of gummy gunk in the hole over time...especially with wood fibre floating in the air!

Nice of you to provide the link.:)

How about permission to view it as well?:(:D

I think its fixed now. First time posting on youtube, sorry for the confusion!

The edited original link now works!:) All these 'copies' in quotes are never going to work!:(

Air flow for sure!!!!

So we have learned much today. It ain't all about atmospheric pressure.

You be in front of me!

Since it is 'fresh', how about a 'trip' report. How to get from camera to you-tube.

Putting a video on Youtube is pretty easy.

1. Create a user account on youtube.

2. Have camera or smart phone hooked to computer.

3. Click the "upload" button at top of page in youtube, follow instructions, find your file and open.

4. Another page appears, while pic or vid is uploading, fill out title and descript of video, mark as public, private, or other.

5. Play your video, copy url at top of page, paste where ever you like!

I upload somethings but I like to keep them in HD so I have to keep them short. Not a requirement from youtube, I believe they have a 15 minute limit.

The problem is with DSL service which is really ADSL. The "A" is for asymmetric and what that in effect means is the the upload side is limit to a lower rate then the download side. For the most part this is fine since most people download far more then they upload.

For me a 30 second clip takes about a half hour to upload. File size is about 90+ MB. If you want to use a compressed format and lower the resolution you can reduce the video to a fraction of the size.

OK enough about that now I'll go check out the video.

Looks like some of my pix!;)

So, while I'm waiting on a new pulley to run the jigsaw on the pwr stand it came with, I'll start on my new quest.

Semi-exploded view of upper chuck and air pump head.

The air pump seal, shown between the 2 square ID washers, appears to be leather.

Should be able to replace air tube with clear vinyl tubing at Lowe's.

That air nipple and the housing it screws into is plugged with old sawdust.

The air pump seal, shown between the 2 square ID washers, appears to be leather. They usually are! It also acts as a valve.

Careful, there are nylon ball valves in there.

Are they're any drawings or pics of these ball valves...an exploded view?
