PLUMBING: REPAIR OR REPLACE TOILET FLUSH TANK (SOLVED)

Hi all, 

after several month of holding my wife nagging about the broken flush pump which sometime not working and sometimes work and ending water leak for hours..

Today is my limit...i am not able to hold it anymore..and i need to end this nagging thing..

so, after Jumaa' Prayer, I stop at hardware shop and asking parts for flush pump. but, since my flush tank pump are quite old, they are not able to locate and provide the part and they suggest me to buy new  flush tank instead. seller said the cheapest flush tank arr around 34 ringgit only. 

so, in the end, i ending up purchased new flush water tank for our toilet...it was different in size, different in working mechanism..and the best thing.. it is lot cheaper.
Figure 1: New tank is smaller in size, new flush mechanism, simpler and cheaper

Figure 2: new flush tank in box
old water tank are slightly bigger than new one..and thus,with new flush water tank, I might save more water. and could save lot of money fixing it if its broken because i just need to replace the rubber cover as this new flush tank operate with more simple mechanism compare to old flush tank pump


Figure 3: Old and new flush tank

cost of new flush tank is RM36, around GBP7 which is quite cheap. Even hire person to fix this problem will cost more.

removing the old flush tank also quite easy. follow this step.
1) off the water source
Figure 4: step 1 and 2

2) release the screw pipe from source to tank.
3) release the tighten plastic under flush tank that hold pipe to the sit toilet bowl.
Figure 5: Step 3

4) remove flush top cover
5) remove two nuts that hold the flush tank.
Figure 6: Step 4 and step 5

6) then, carefully remove old flush tank.
7) new installation should be in reverse order.

**please add white tape for each part that have water flow. this is to prevent water leak.
**in my case, I use old pipe that connect flush tank to toilet bowl. Installation of new flush tank require me to cut the pipe little bit to accommodate bottom part of  the tank.


Figure 7: Done installed new flush tank


Done installed new flush tank pump. hope this will be the last time my wife nagging me about this pump. anyway, hope this help anyone having the same problem.

HONDA RS150 TPS: RPM TAK STABIL BILA NOT ON THROTTLE DAN PENYELESAIANNYA

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera Isu TPS ni berlaku pada tahun lepas, Ogos 2020 (milage dalam 24000km, baru dua tahun pakai) sewaktu saya on the way ke KL Masa tu tunggang motor full throttle yang menyebabkan RPM nya selalu mencecah ke CUT-OFF (utk makluman, honda RS150 saya ni tak guna ECU custom, masih guna yang standard). Jadi saya perasan, bila selalu tunggang pada RPM yang sampai CUTT-OFF, ini menyebabkan kesan tak baik pada TPS..jadi utk yang belum jadi problem TPS ni..boleh la cepat ganti ECU ke ECU yang tanpa cutoff. APA TU TPS? TPS bermaksud Throttle positioning sensor..bahasa mudahnya alat ni bertujuan untuk mengesan kedudukan throttle body valve dimana udara masuk ke enjin untuk pembakaran. Dengan itu, baru la ECU tahu berapa banyak bahan bakar yang perlu utk pembakaran berdasarkan bukaan valve tu.  Bila TPS dah problem, TPS akan memberi maklumat yang salah pada ECU berkenaan besar mana valve tu buka, jadi nisbah bahan api dan udara jadi tak betul la. maka, tu yang ja...

HONDA RS150 IACV: IACV PROBLEM? RPM NAIK TINGGI BILA HIDUPKAN ENJIN?

 Hi semua, Salam sejahtera Masalah IACV saya berlaku selepas isu TPS wujud di milage 24000+km..kemungkinan kedua2nya ini saling berkait. Masalah IACV hadir ketika saya on the way balik semula ke Johor, ketika bahan bakar berkurang dari tangki moto. SIMPTOM  ? bila hidupkan enjin honda RS150 saya, RPM akan naik tinggi dan kadang2 sukar dikawal. tengah jalan pun, jika stop di trafik light, rpm akan naik tinggi dan mengaum bising..so, isu ni biasanya disebabkan IACV IACV APA TU IACV? IACV bermaksud Idle Air Control Valve. bahasa mudahnya nak control udara masuk ke ruang pembakaran sewaktu motosikal kita idle (tanpa pulas pendikit atau throttle) iaitu semasa tak bergerak. FUngsi dia mcm choke la pada motor lama yg guna karburator supaya moto mudah di hidupkan dan dalam masa sama injap dikawal dan dikecilkan bila enjin motosikal telah panas. IACV idling control valve (anak panah, lubang udara yang dikawal) APA FUNGSI IACV? Jika kita dah pulas throttle, IACV dah tak digunakan dan va...

HONDA RS150 FUEL CONSUMPTION AT VARIOUS SPEED

Hi semua, selepas sebulan setengah menggunakan honda rs150r untuk ke tempat kerja...berikut dibawah yang dapat saya simpulkan dari segi kadar penggunaan petrol. data diambil menggunakan minyak ron95 dan mix city and inter-city riding. riding kadang-kadang rilex dan kadang aggressive dan ade beberapa trafik light di laluan tersebut. maka, halaju tidak tetap tetapi laju maksimum adalah seperti yang dinyatakan pada bacaan yang dinyatakan.  manakala, pemanduan di highway pula, halaju lebih tetap dan bacaan yang direkodkan di highway adalah semasa ke kuala lumpur. distance dari rumah ke tempat kerja adalah 82 km..jadi ,penting bagi saya untuk tahu, pada laju manakah yang paling baik supaya saya dapat pergi dan balik hanya dengan sekali isian sahaja.. berikut adalah bacaan rekod jarak kilometer melawan halaju bagi honda rs150r. Fig 1: bacaan halaju 80km/h dan kadar penggunaan petrol bagi honda RS150R Fig 2: bacaan halaju 90km/h dan kadar penggunaan pet...
