Bill, the guide is misleading. Remember, your name plate says 120v.
You don't have 220v on 1 phase. Nameplate is everything.
Ask your home insurance agent what he thinks about supplying 220v to this 120v rated appliance.
-
yeah, you found your problem, you have a bad winding.
-
Anytime it's heating, it will draw the same amount of current. 10ga wire minimum.
Your guide shows a 1P 30a breaker for the 220v 06 model. You don't have 220v on a 1-Pole breaker.
The guide is a little misleading. Europe. You can;t get 220v on one phase using the neutral at your house.
You would have to wire 1 Line directly hot instead of the neutral. Don't do it.
Baseboard heaters were allowed to do that in the sixties.
NEC put a stop to that bullshit.
Neither the 04 and 06 have a thermostat. You need to rethink this application.
If you have 10ga wire in the wall, connect one Line to a 30A 1P breaker, one line to neutral for 120v.
Since you don't have temp control, you can do the mixing valve thing or buy one with a thermostat.
Bill, don't run it anymore until this is corrected.
The 220V 1ph is Europe. That can be confusing.
In the U.S., and in fact everywhere in North America, the standard voltage is 110 V (with a frequency of 60 Hz) rather than the 220 volts used in Europe. The 06 model will not help your situation. -
Bill, I see the model -04 does not have a thermostat. More like an Insta-hot for making tea.
You are supplying it with twice the voltage beyond the nameplate rating. Turn it off and get control of it.
If you are going to keep it, have the Electrician come back and move one phase off the 2-P breaker back to Neutral
and supply it with 120. Your chart shows 1P 30A breaker 10ga wire minimum.

Bill, the name plate reads 120V. Hmmmm
Is there another diagram undercover in the make up box showing the taps and elements in series or parallel ?
It must have a thermostat also. Adjusted where? I would be surprised if it is fixed at 161.

My hot water heater is only about 25 feet away. I re-plumbed the house about 15yrs ago with Aqua-Plex.
Made a big difference replacing all that copper tubing and iron pipe. Hot water much faster even in winter.
and yeah 161 is pretty damn hot. Are you sure it's a fixed set point?

Lets hope so. I don't have much confidence in sand cast cases after a couple bad experiences.

Interesting. With the Ducati 999, the R model gets a stronger sand cast case than the base and S models.
It requires a lot more gusseting to equal the strength of the die cast cases. Die cast. no porosity.
Ducati must have undoubtedly made a mold with extra gusseting. Otherwise, no. Hope it never fractures.
Cast aluminum is extremely hard to weld. Especially if it is oil impregnated. Good luck with that.
Been down that road.
-
Bill, you do know the sand cast cases are nowhere near as strong as the die cast cases.
Pre production novelty bikes for sure. Once again, wish I had not given the rest of that 69 SOHC 750 away.
Collectors item now.

I have Yoshi slip-ons on my #2 XX.
The previous owner gutted them it is loud yet it's music to my ears.
D&D is the loudest I have heard so far.
-
I happen to have a complete Honda CB750 motor with sand cast cases. Wish I had the bike to go with it.
-
If you put enough safety chain on it, the hitch may reach the passenger seat if it jumps off the ball.
Don't worry, the battery will stop it.

We should start a Go Fund Me page with a goal of a million shrews sent to AZ.

I'm trying to picture the retaliation.
Does anyone have the link saved for the XX parts wrapped in gay porn magazines thread?
I'm thinking about sending Carlos a damn good fly swatter for the bugs in his wood shop.

EE GADS ! Everything down there wants to kill you.

I had the same problem with my 98. It was the fuel petcock diaphragm.
Only leaked when running.

I blamed it on Honda in the 70's. I became quite the expert using a chisel or an "easy out"

Just got back from Sharkey's Pub. It's ok. Drinking and retards go well together. Ask me how I know. 🤣

The only company that I know of that made a bolt-on kit was Pingel, and I don't see it on their site anymore. Maybe if you call them they still have one or can assemble one for you? Good luck finding one because the only person that ever bought a set from Pingel was apparently... me! 😁
I am curious. Do you have a picture?

Made my own decades ago. It was easy since it had dual shocks.
Never tried with a monoshock bike. Must Tig weld a swingarm mount ?

Rode of of those for a few hours on twisty roads. I liked it.
As been said before, it takes a little to get use to it.

Did you ever get to record a vid with audio ?

I still think sellers could help with very little effort.

Thanks, it is how I perceived. Had me sweating.

Can you spare a couple USB-C cables for the power brick you gave me?
