You can do directional freezing without a purpose built device. I would steer clear of the cheap plastic knockoffs. This brand has a metal variety which should last... forever? https://www.wintersmiths.com/
Not sponsored content - they didn't pay me anything. I sent them this video link in the hopes they'd be interested in a future collab. This one is 100% just me. If they agree to a collab I will clearly label the video as a collab/sponsored content. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBPZArjCwN4
Maybe she didn't see the sign? Or the school bus? I thought she'd slow down when I honked, but she sped up.

The 12V starter battery in my Kohler has catastrophically exploded three times in a row with less than 2 year service life each time. PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO!!! Your friends may have this generator and not know about the updated part.
I had previously contacted Kohler after the 2nd battery exploded and was told my battery was defective without any additional info. This time I contacted Kohler and was given helpful information. I DID tell them I was making a video about my experience, but due to a snafu I was forwarded internal communication and they decided to help me because I am a customer like any other and my youtube channel has 'very low views'. Hahaha
Kohler says this is a known problem that affects certain years of their generators. The controller charges the battery at too high of a voltage resulting in risk of boil off. This leads to gas build up inside the battery which can result in explosion. Kohler insists this is NOT a safety issue, so there is no recall, but they do provide an updated harness to lower charging voltage at no charge for owners of this year generator. Dealers are suppose to install without owners asking. I decided to service my generator myself and complained to my local dealer for hard selling me yearly service with the false claim my warranty would be voided if I didn't. I hope they don't leave other customers in the cold. Generators sold now have an updated design that charges the battery at a lower voltage to mitigate this issue. The Kohler rep told me battery explosions after 2-4 years of use in a generator is common industry wide and they officially recommend a new battery every 2-4 years as normal maintenance due to the nature of a generator being for 'emergency use.' I think a battery should last 6-10 years, but I don't find their statement unreasonable.
I am IMPRESSED they agreed to send me the updated part at no charge and I decided to remake this video from being a complaint to a PSA with purpose of other customers knowing an updated part is available FREE OF CHARGE. If you aren't sure if you need this or not, contact Kohler with your serial number found near the controller control pad.
The part arrived before releasing this video, and it is a simple electrical device that reduces the voltage of the always-on trickle charger. To install you must turn off the generator, cut power from your house to the generator at the breaker box, disconnect the 12V battery, open the controller box, disconnect the engine harness, and install the new part between the controller and engine harness connections. To finish the installation you must reconnect the 12V battery and lastly restore power at the breaker box. THIS REPAIR PROCEDURE DISCONNECTS YOUR HOUSE'S POWER!
The updated part is a piggyback harness containing a diod

I didn't know but found out first hand unemployment leaves you in dire straights unless you aren't working at all, or you're working so little that you would DIE. So... I am worried about all the folks who have worked too much to receive unemployment, but haven't been allowed to work enough to EAT. Are we going to see looting?
I say in the video I'm stressed about the PPP 'loan' - I was told I was approved, but heard horror stories about people in round one being LIED to that they were approved and the money running out... another horror story of a guy applying for $22,500 and the banker forgot to write the 22, so he only got $500 and nobody could help him... LONG STORY SHORT... the funding came through and my family will EAT for the next two months, BUT... I am worried about other people being HUNGRY.

Edited this at home over the 2018 holidays before adding to the end of the Bikebite video that starts with the bike running and making terrible noises due to the Starter Gear bouncing off the clutch gear and hammering the kicker gear as a result of a worn bushing.
Used in the Bikebite video: https://youtu.be/i-DfsZ7n0AE
Uploaded this on the personal channel for two reasons - A) Might help someone searching for this issue on their bike who doesn't watch Bikebite and B) So Dwayne can see ASAP what I meant by adding a shoutout for his business in a Bikebite video.
