    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

last minute tips on Hooking up Compufire

If I say something right would somebody let me know. No, Im not serious but give me a break will you guys. I appreciate your help. I didn't realize that everyone on here was old too ! The pole & the 220 3 phase I can handle

Define old? I feel pretty frisky at times !
 
Old is when you go to the garage & forget why you did, its when nothing ever goes right, its when the smallest job turns into a major project. Its when you have an implanted morphine pain pump and can only work 2 hours or ride 50 miles, it sucks. Too Many Toys, how much HP is that motor, you want an open or closed transformer bank on that pole ?
 
It's only 10hp. All the transformers are out on the street. When I was 5yo the pump was setup. Now 55 years later the Atlantic white cedar pole is getting a little eroded, although it's made it through all the hurricanes and Nor'easters we've had. An inspector would freak. It should have been brought in underground but they didn't do that around here back then.
 
Cedar poles almost never rot out, they just look bad but the core lasts forever. If it was put in UG it would have gone bad by now. Open bank {2 transformers} will handle 10 hp easy. Ill shut up now
 
Back to the compufire install.. I got it all wired and running well, but on the mounting of the compufire i used the stock location with the left mounting hole and then a zip tie thru the right stock mounting hole.. To get it to sit down instead of leaning against the frame i did some grinding off of the rear air cooling fins top and bottom, how much grinding of the fins is ok on the side that hits the frame? As long as you dont get near the white center housing the electronics im fine right? Thanks

Hmm well, your space it pretty identical to the space I have on my 750. I used the left stock mounting hole and drilled a hole for the right side of the Compufire into the mounting plate. Just shave enough of the lower right fins to clear the frame. I didn't have to touch the upper fins at all. There is a pic of my mounted RR here in the forum. Mine looked pretty much like posplayr's mount on his 1100. Yours' should too.
