Remote and Abandoned | I Found so Much Stuff Abandoned in the Forest | Destination Adventure 

Can you add any photos from when your dad worked on dam ? I would enjoy seeing them from 🇦🇺

Ohhhhhhhh I thought that was the idle control. Thanks for the info. It’s a 6hp. I’ll definitely pull the carb and clean it but it’s runnin super nice. I also should do the impeller. At idle it’s not pushin a solid stream.

@@Destination_Adventure Sometimes actually quite often bugs n debris clog up the pee hole. run a paper clip or something up it.

@@Destination_Adventure Also here is a schematic you can reference on parts and disassembly. # if isnt same year it doesnt matter that engine was not changed much in 20+years www.boats.net/catalog/evinrude/outboard-by-year/1985/e6rcob

@@dgc940 Or a length of steel wire, a cheap trick that works well. Also check the intake screen at the bottom of the leg.

This is not 100% accurate. 6:35 There are knife gate vales to the right controlling and or shut down the water. On the left is the highest maintenance items in the whole set-up, raked bar screens, they remove debris from entering the two turbine inlets. The overhead frame is for constant maintenance access of the screens, a vertical turbine water pump sits behind screens likely for cutless bearings on the rake system. The Dam weir gates are at 7:11 controlled electrically using gear boxes (so you need power). The Dam needs to produce power for itself that's for sure, but they should of had obvious electrical lines / terminal that were noticeable if its sending power somewhere else. Appears, and would be normal, two turbines are in basement where he did not (could not) go, an access for what appears to be a belt drive system comes up through the floor at 9:38 (there would be two) in small opening. Any belt drive would have to been removed for safety, and it was, the belt drive pulley in the center of a short shaft (maybe they call this "slave" shaft) sits removed from its baseplate (behind). Keep in mind the normally a second generator would be spare, for when the other was in maintenance not both running at the same time, though likely they could. The Generators and speed control are not shown, likely gone, we did not see the size so it's uncertain the Dam only produces power for itself though it appears to be the case. 9:52 looks like it also had an emergency diesel gen set - gone, fuel tank only remains in a well ventilated empty room. Does the wood pipeline feed another Turbine set? Is it enough flow for a whole mill? The Mill must be relatively close, maybe he had no access to it - locked up tight? A big mystery is what the heck is the tall stack for? Are they burning the debris raking from the screens? Does not make sense to throw that back into the water, and they could use heat from that process I'm sure..

No joke, they are insane. My dad had his father's evinrude from atleast the 60's i seen him startup the thing 10-20 years ago and i was dumbfounded. My grandpa would be about 100 now. But i bet that engine my dad has will still run with ease speakin of happy bday dad! His bday is april 5th! Love u so much pop's! Hope u take the time to see this!

Welcome to something new ;)

@@deendrew36 I do that but still get cut off. Annoying.

@@factsoverfiction7826 super annoying. 😑

Omg so funny. I did actually tell it to not get stolen, but I didn’t include that clip. Next time

@@Destination_Adventure If you tie it up, it won't go for a walk in the bush.

Dude. That’s one of those things you can’t do anything but laugh.

@@Destination_Adventure hahahahaha, hell yeah, good thing they are an easy motor to start aye

I laughed! After singing the motor’s praises and then “thunk”….🤣

Apart from in the pile of quartz stones my friend and I found when we were about 7 yrs old. For a couple of hours we believed we had struck gold and diamonds and were set for life.

There's a ridiculous amount of quartz in that area.

Welcome to the channel :)

And/or always use premium gas in small engines as it doesnt break down and get a gummy and residue-run it in all my small engines with never a problem!

Yah, Seafoam, nothing like it on the market!

@@marcelpotter7424 ethanol free gas is what's really needed

U beat me to type the first comment lol

@@metaxa715 good luck next time. 🤣
