Here are some better pictures with some light shining on each end. Not sure if this helps determine how this particular door is designed to have the tension adjusted...

Hey everyone, I wanted to see if you could take a look at the 2 pictures I have attached (one of each end) and tell me how I would go about increasing the tension. The roll-up door takes a lot of force to push up, and will come back down if you don't push it up far enough. How do I increase the...

Got a new receiver/remote kit and the light is working normally again. Thanks for everyone's input.

Ok, I'll do that. Also, from what I'm reading, many modern ceiling fans/light fixtures are limited to only 12-24 volts being send to the bulb socket, so if I do test somewhere around this voltage going out from the blud (light) wire of the receiver, then that would be considered normal voltage...

I finally got around to opening up the fan again to do further testing, and it seems that the part that I thought was the wattage limiter is actually the capacitor for the fan. I opened up the next internal portion of the fan (you can see the two separate internal sections in one of the photos I...

Yes, fan does spin just fine, including all speeds...just the bulb is less than half as bright as it should be, and that's only when keeping the original bulb in there. If I take the bulb from the other ceiling fan in the same room, which is bright and working normal, it is dull and not bright...

Bent the center tab out, but that did not help. Checked the voltage at the socket and it is putting out only 25V, vs another exact same fixture in the room that is putting out 125V. Would that be an issue with the capacitor, or with the receiver itself?

I have not checked the voltage at the pin yet, but if I try bending the center tap down for a better connection and still have a problem, then I will check the voltage next. The fan has a remote, which is the only means of turning it on and off, but it does not have a dimmer function.

Hey everyone, I've got a weird situation where a light bulb in a ceiling fan was suddenly 1/2 as bright as normal. There is no dimmer function on this ceiling fan, so I can't change the dim level. I put in a new bulb, but the bulb does not light at all. Fits in the socket that normal (standard...

You're correct, it was. I also took apart the chain brake and blew everything out really well, and after putting everything back together the chain was still spinning fairly quickly at idle, so I adjusted the idle speed down and the chain stays still at idle now...and the brake is stopping the...

I made a loop in the broken end of the spring and reattached it. I have a lot of cutting to do this weekend and a new clutch will not arrive by then, so I’m seeing if I can make do.

I’m not sure how it hooks back in there, but I’m wondering if the other end of the spring was just a hook that hooked into the loop of the other side of the spring, making the spring into a loop that holds the clutch toward the center.

Silly me, the broken spring was sitting inside the clutch drum. One end of the spring still has a loop on it, but the other end snapped off.

Looks like maybe it's missing a spring?? Not sure how it could be missing since I've never taken this clutch apart before...

I opened up the clutch and took some photos to see if anyone could give me some insight. The metal ring around the outside of the clutch area was fully seated, but I pulled it up a bit to get a look at it, so that is why you see it raised on one side. The 3 sliding portions of the clutch (not...

It's a Poulan Pro PR4218 (18" bar). I'll open it up to see if I can spot anything broken or damaged, at least as a starting point.

Getting my saw tuned up and prepped to cut wood for fall, and I'm having an issue with the chain brake. When the chain brake is applied, the pull cord is taut and will not pull, so the saw has to be started with the brake off. It starts and runs well now (after tuneup), but if I apply the chain...

Sooooooo bummed that I missed the $18 endoscope!!!

It's a fairly cheap meter that I got off Amazon that I typically have in my electrical bag...I don't recall the brand at the moment, but I do have another much better meter (UEi) that I can re-test with. That one stays in one of our vehicles. But maybe the in-rush current isn't really the...

Yeah, I think I'll need to pull up the pump (never done that before) to see what it is, at which time I'll also be able to inspect it and see if we have a clog issue or anything else going on.
