I didn't know we had a CF beam! :oops:

Could you give an indication of 'relatively inexpensive'? Just a ballpark will be fine.

Icebox modification

What did you do to increase your refrigerators efficiency or insulation? I installed a 12 volt fan by connecting it to the compressor. The fan draws 0.12 amps, but helps maintain the temperature, (just like a home refrigerator), especially with repeated open & closes of the door. Chris The 32 u...

Re: adding a solar panel

Fitting a third panel has potential to increase your charging capacity by 50%. However, the boom will now always partially block one or other of the panels, so you'll actually get less than that. If you have the Siemens panels then partial shadow will reduce the output, and the same will apply to a ...

If it isn't a linkage problem causing the throttle plate to stick open, it could possibly be a bad gasket causing an air leak.
