Hey man. Just found your channel. I have to say you're my favorite kind of people. People who just figure shit out for themselves and get it done. I'd definitely buy you a beer. Keep being awesome 👍
I'm amazed the coils were actually in this good condition. I've seen a Johnson Seahorse from 1964 with completely junk coils in. All cracked and rusted up. Cool, you got it running. :)
With few exceptions "prospecting" "mining" channels do not get a lot of followers by themselves. I like motors and gold - add fishing and subscribers likely goes to 100's of thousands. Well boys it is time for the Keene 6220 Triple Sluice Duel Motor Super Max 6" :)
@@MeleeMotors There is an older version triple sluice that I saw work well some years back. Hard to say how effective it might be each place would be different. Where I saw it work well the gold was small in general ( South Fork junction with Sixes River Oregon) and lots of fines. I think the old style triple sluice had a 1/4 inch punch plate at head of main sluice which then under that water was routed to the two side sluices. Anything over 1/4 went down main sluice anything under down side sluices. Side sluices had reduced flow. Not sure if that system can just be added to current set up. I think that is a good chance it can. I would bet Keene has some sort of attachment ( may be even updated) for earlier frames/dredges. Be a bummer if 10-15% of really fine gold was getting flushed out.
@GoldChump yeah it's definitely a hard battle to capture all the gold, I think with any setup you loss a little bit but the 6" keene we have down there has a 3 stage sluice box seems to capture quite a bit. We don't deal to much with the fines tho, we like the chucky stuff lol
@@MeleeMotors I know where I used to to work flood gold in gravel bars (1970's) here in Oregon there was not much( if any) super fine gold. We used a standard A-52 Keene sluice box having only added miners moss instead of using the stock carpet. Pretty basic set up. Early on we had a second sluice below it to see what we may be losing. I think in 10-20 pans off second sluice we may have found 2 or 3 specks so we ditched that second one pretty quick. On the other hand a river here like the Sixes and even the Illinois ( if one were to dredge it) would likely benefit quite a bit using a system like mentioned. There is lots of gold so small you can hardly see it in those two rivers - but bigger stuff too. Similar to beach gold. Look forward to more gold videos!!!
At 16:04, the Left is a 79 or 80, the 81's were the first year of the notched fender. Your fenders have the Black reflectors of the 79, so yes, you will need the correct fenders.
I had a 79 Rabbit 4 spd. It was my first new car after the rusty 67 Beetle I got while in college. My uncle had a blue diesel Rabbit. Fun fact: the Rabbits with rectangular headlights were assembled in Pennsylvania.
Press down on the shifter, then left and up, to get it into reverse. It's a lockout to prevent from accidentally going into reverse when you wanted first.
Wow! That's why I love posting videos, I help other people and other people help me! Thanks dude, just tried it and worked great😎 learn something new everyday.
On that Honda engine you missed the idle jet on top under the screw. If that one is clogged (which it almost always is) it’ll surge under no load and power will be reduced a little under heavy load.
You can't beat a Honda. I bought a GL 550 Silverwing that had sit for 10 years. I changed the oil, put new plugs and a battery, and rode it for 2yrs trouble free
@@MeleeMotors thank you for the insight on how these chippers work! It’s always good to know what you’re getting into before you tear something apart, and I didn’t even think about sharpening the blades until I watched video! I was just focused on getting it running.
