I've only just been able to attack the problem, but it happened a few days ago. I was planning to take a grocery trip, but the Gizmo didn't agree with that...
Hi Fred, ... This is the way it is supposed to work. When you power up FS1 has to be open. The NORM circuit is supposed to do this so if you by-pass the ...
Because of memory failure in the primary processor, I can't recall precisely, but I think Norm's LED is steady red when all is well, at start up. That piece of...
I remember my NORM having a steadily blinking LED when it was working correctly. I don't remember ever seeing the LED steady under normal circumstances. A...
You would be correct, david, and I would be incorrect. Faulty memory is very much the case here. Very early this morning, perhaps prior to becoming fully...
From what I understand, the kill switch is for an emergency to allow a forced fault to the controller. This is accomplished by opening the ground connection to...
Its easier to hit that kill switch if something shorts and the car launches for some reason then it is to get to the key in a time if panic. Not sure what the...
Even if the button were one like I used for my dome lights where when it is on the button is lower than when it is off. Maybe we'll have to look for a...
Just today, I had to leave a client to get a cable at the local big box store and when I squeezed the throttle, nothing. Clearly, I'm pushing the kill button...
My client call today was 11 miles one way and it's been on the cool side lately. Sixty degrees is a lot lower than I'm used to and I expected reduced range...
On the way home from a client today, I was in the left turn lane, making good time, but slowing for the turn. I felt something strike my right arm pretty hard,...
I'm experiencing weak braking performance and have discovered that my pads are pretty much done for. I may have to re-bleed the brakes too, but I'll be saving...

Thank you very much, Andy! I can see why I was getting my searches screwed up. The dimensions I was measuring did not include the locking hole-tab and the...
I just discovered in my files that I have a very comprehensive repair manual with specific part numbers for all of the above items. It makes things loads...
Hi Fred, The disks were originally 10" diameter and then turned down. The ones I found were about $40 each. If you find a source for less let me/us know. When...
I picked up the bearings today. The local shop had a problem with the order, so I got four bearings as ordered, two seals as ordered and only two of the four...
Since the bearing shop was a block away from harbor freight, all things chinese, I stopped in and purchased a bearing puller. This one expands within the bore...
Hello Fred etal, The pad should under no circumstances overlap the disk. This causes a small ridge to be developed on the pad as it wears down. This ridge then...
That's a curious development indeed. When I received the Gizmo, the pads had a ridge where it extended beyond the perimeter of the disk, but the previous...
Yes I meant the disks. From: gizmo-users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:gizmo-users@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of fred_dot_u Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 2:50 AM...
A package on my doorstep the other day. Tolomatic on the side. I picked it up and my first thought was, "for ten inches of steel disks times two, this box...
I spent two hours today, removing the old kingpin bushings, greasing up the new ones and putting the Gizmo back on the road. New disks installed, new pads, new...
That is great, Fred, The Gizmo is easy to work on. Carl & crew did an awesome job on designing an easy to work on vehicle. Did you check/change the wheel...
I was charged $91.00 for the pair, and then paid a local shop $63.00 for the machining. I did not check or change the rear wheel bearing. I read the process...
Hi All, I recently acquired a Gizmo which we went through and fixed with a new belt and some turning light. It's in very good condition with 9750 miles on it ...
I finally have a replacement for the original NORM circuit on my Gizmo. Mine started acting flaky and would leave me stranded frequently until I installed an...
Your blog entries are great reading, David. The headlight fix looks quite professional. Since you had to make the mold, do you have plans to sell a kit to...
Thanks, Fred. I have a few more pictures to upload now that I've painted the aluminum plate black so it won't show around the headlight. The idea was to make...
Hi Carl, et al, I need to replace the badly worn plastic type sleeve which goes around the bolt on each side of the main body where the top latches latch on....
