hello all, i have just signed up and this will be my first post. i have looked at the threads for a while now and aplaud you all for keeping free education and helping others in you lives. rarly do i see the desire for anyone to help another if there is not monetary value or something in it for me attitude coming up. my hats off to you.
now on with my question. i have just purchased a used flow bench that is in good shape. it is made by internal dynamics and is a seventies vintage. my problem with it is that it does not seem to read rite. the verticle manometer that you would use as your baseline does not seem to pull a vacuume. the angled manometer that you would use to note your change seems to pull to much. this bench uses three d.c. motors with a single transformer and a verible resistor to control the flow. there is also a set of three connectors that you can plug the baseline manometer for different velosites as well. i have tried to plug the baseline into all different connectors with the same results.
my feelings are that someone has changed the lines around and i cannot figure where they go. the other option is that there is a restriction in the chamber that the head will sit on and not allowing the vacuume lines to breath although i feel that i have checked them and they seem to work. any ideas or does anyone have diagrams that i could see to get this to work. i feel every weekend that it is not working, the race car is going slower.
thanx in advance and remember that anarchy is not a bad thing, it is an awarness and awakening. sorry for typos.
